Default C4s at the Indy 500 Pace Car Reunion

I had the pleasure of going to the Indy 500 Qualifying Day with Garage and Pit passes, and on the way into the infield saw the Pace Car Reunion and stopped by. Here are some great looking Vettes and a few other Pace Cars from the day, plus a few extras.

Other cars, the Tony Stewart exhibit, and that one small piece of history called the Corvette SS from 1957

And one last little bit, a Callaway Twin Turbo Corvette owned my a team member I saw on my way out. It was way cool to see in person

Thanks for the pictures! I think all the pace cars are cool - except maybe the C5 with the yellow rims...

Thanks for the pictures. That's a great look back at many of the cars that paced the race with some bonus cars added in.

Awesome pics!! I've never been to the speedway. Is this something that takes place every year, I mean the car show/display. I have a 95 Vert, I wish it was a pace car replica!!!

Thanks to all for the complements. As far as I know after talking to the owner of a Fiero pace car, it's not a yearly tradition. It should be though, it's very neat to see so many

I live about 7 miles from the track, west on 10th st. Seen a bunch of the pace cars driving around, and not just the vettes. Wish I had known forum members where visiting, would have cooked some burgers and cold beer for you guys.

Great pics! The Fox body Mustang pace car is especially sweet. I've always been a big fan of those pace cars. Of course, my "other car" is a heavily modded 86 Mustang LX 5.0 coupe, so go figure...
