Pre-Race

I left our hotel early to pick up our son at Chicago O'Hare airport.  He flew in from California to join us on the last leg of our journey- the Indianapolis 500.  Instead of driving straight to Indianapolis we planned to make a side trip to Auburn, Indiana to see the Auburn, Cord and Duesenburg museum.  The original factory was in Auburn and it was an amazing experience.  It would be very tempting to sell my hot rod pickup and get a 1937 Cord 812.  It is one of the most amazing and beautiful cars I have ever seen!  So much for dreaming.  After the museum we drive to Indianapolis. Today we spent the day at the track walking around and seeing old Indy cars and the museum.  Wow, what a day especially with Gene and Matt.  It was a fantastic day for all of us, and tomorrow is the big race.
