Default Indy on vacation

We were in the area and stopped for a quick look. There were a couple C3 vettes test and tune I imagine. Revs sounded like easy 7000, and I guess 120 mph in the turns. Awesome to see.

These are cell phone pics, and I really only tried to catch C3s.
Here's a few more.

I raced at Indy twice, you can get a good run off that corner then up onto the banking and a hard right. Thanks for the pics, wish I was there !
