President’s Report September 2015
Indianapolis Motor Speedway, located in Speedway, Indiana, was first constructed in 1909. Considered flat by most standards, the track is a 2.5 mile, nearly rectangular oval with dimensions that have remained essentially unchanged since its inception. A modern road course was constructed in the infield between 1998 and 2000 incorporating the western and southern portions of the oval to create a 2.6 mile track.
Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1987, it is the only such landmark to be affiliated with automotive racing history. In addition to the Indianapolis 500, the speedway hosts NASCAR’s Brickyard 400. And, from 2000 to 2007, the speedway hosted the United States Grand Prix for Formula One.
Making history once again, on August 21, 22, and 23 the Speedway hosted PCA. This marked the first HPDE ever held at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Hopefully, the first of many. As a participant, I must say, MORPCA pulled it off. It was evident that this club put in countless hours over the last year working with IMS officials to ensure a successful event.
As it was my first trip to IMS, I admit I felt like a kid at Disney World, both intimidated and excited. After Friday I didn’t really like the track, but by the end of the day Saturday I LOVED it! I couldn’t wait for Sunday. Unfortunately, before my first session Sunday morning I found a large bolt in the rear passenger side tire. Fortunately, there were a handful of KYPCA members at the track and Craig and Ken Rabeneck came to the rescue. Craig provided a set of rear wheels and tires and I made it out for the second session. However, paranoia set in during that session and I called it a day.
Although the bolt incident has made me rethink driving to and from the track, it was a great weekend. The car looks as good as ever. And I, along with 250 other HPDE participants, now own bragging rights at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Our September meeting will be Monday, September 14 at El Nopal: 9451 Westport Rd (502-327-6551). The meeting starts at 7pm, but many arrive as early as 6:30.
Next stop Putnam Park for KYPCA’s Fall Fastival. See you there!
