I had to share this somewhere because I think the experience was AMAZING

I recently attended Carb day here in Indy to see a friend of mine, some of you may know her, IRL pit reporter Lindy Thackston No, I am not bullshitting, she is the older sister of my college roommmate, we have known each other for years. So when she says to me, come out to the track, I am on it like stink on $hit LOL.

Me and Lindy (I am kinda drunk LOL):



We started by getting free beer in the Miller Lite hospitality area, then went to the pits. We got to tour AJ Foyt IV and Hunter Smith's garages, which was very cool, but they would only allow me to take 1 photo, kind of blurry:



We went to meet up with some firestone people and saw their T.A.V. (T-shirt Assault Vehicle) which their mascot would lauch T-shirts from the rear of with an air cannon

T.A.V.:



The best part of this vehicle was the custom caution sign inside, damn do i want one for the XF:




Lastly, we had the opportunity to sit IN the pits during the Indy Lites Freedom 100 race. We sat between stacks of tires on the rear wall, and at one point I walked out onto the the end of our pit and help up my camera, and got this photo, I wa then promtly told to go sit down again LOL:



This is where we were sitting in relation to the pit crew:

Notice the edge of the replacement CF spoiler in the top left of the photo....



Thanks for reading, it was a great time for sure.

Kidding.

Looks like fun, you gotta let me know next time I'll drive down from Chi-town for that kind of stuff any weekend.

 

I had the same experience in Indy way back than in 1986... I'm still bragging about it
I can understand your joy... also my sidekick didn't look like yours (was my dad and step mom)
