Thought you might like to see a pic from the 50th anniversary Corvette Caravan. This was taken during the parade lap before we headed south for Bowling Green. There were 900+ Vettes gathered at the track that day.

Awesome! That would be way too

If you attend the US Grand Prix and renew for the next year on the day after the race... you can drive the track!

Man that's not fair, all we get to do when attending the Brickyard 400 is to walk on the track:

Geez, where was I? I'm about 20 miles away and didn't hear a thing about it. Looks like a blast though.

A lap at Indy

Any chance an event like that might ever happen again? Making a lap at Indy would be a memory of a lifetime, especially driving our Corvette. I'd love to do that!

LOL, I was there for the Y2K Camaro/Pace Car Reunion and was the only guy with a Trans Am there. I got to take a lap around the track in my Y2K WS6 T/A and have the picture, but I don't have it scanned. That was a fun time. The same day they were having the "Richard Petty Driving Experience", so I got to take a ride around the track in a Dale Earnhardt #3 car. That was the ride of my life!
