A few moments captured and placed on display from this year's Brickyard 400.
 |
| Our residential parking area near the track, normally full as far as the eye can see empty at 12:15ish for a 1:00 start time. |
 |
| Speedway Lions Club Camping Lot (normally filled with tents, pop-ups, RV's and the like) viewed from 25th street looking north -- empty. |
 |
| 25th street looking east toward public entrance to turn 4 seating -- empty |
 |
| Intersection of 25th and Georgetown -- Empty. We must have gotten there really late, right? |
 |
| I manually held the camera for this panorama, comprised of 24 individual shots, click on this until picture until it's 100% open. From right to left -- exit to Turn 4, Turn 4, then short chute between 3 and 4, finally on left note entrance to turn 3 is closed to public seating. It's 12:40 ish for a 1:00 start. |
 |
| First warm up pace lap from apex / exit of turn 4 |
 |
| Second warm up pace lap, shot with wide angle lens. |
 |
| For you Lit'l E fans out there |
 |
| After about the first 40 laps, Cindy and I went shopping for souvenirs. Here is the west side of track from exit of turn four looking south (parallel to Georgetown road), empty as far as the eye can see. |
 |
| We returned to our seats with about +/- 50 laps to go. Restart after a caution |
 |
| Paul Menard out front, chased by Jeff Gordon (late in the race). |
 |
| Paul Menard, the eventual race winner. |
 |
| Leaving the track right after the checkered flag looking west down 25th street -- not really busy. |
The track does not publish attendance numbers, I think this year they will not have too....
