Wow what a weekend at Michigan and for just 50 bucks.
I took my 12 year old son and went Saturday and Sunday and we stayed at Hays State Park (good place to stay).
Saturday: We went to the truck race then set up camp and came back for Indy practice. We had a great time.
Sunday:
We watched a highly competitive Infinity Pro race then off to the infield were we voted on our favorite Vettes and Sam as our favorite driver.
Then the Indy Cars, All during the race my son kept saying this is the best race he had ever been to. Even though we are both big Hornish fans watching Alex spin and then come back to win was very exciting.
I cannot believe that with so many people in Michigan living within 100 miles or so from the track that more of them didn’t take advantage of the deals they had on tickets.
Sunday Eve:
We listened to the local Am radio station go on and on about this is best racing Michigan has ever seen and how much better this was than any of the NASCAR races there.
They also were able to get there local reporters to interview almost all the drivers.
Monday:
Off to Dearborn (50 miles) to the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. All I can say if you have never been there go!
Then back to Indy.
August 17th
Father son trip version two
I’ve got 12 tickets to KY I’ll not only be adding my Dad and my oldest son on that one but I’m also taking 8 coworkers who have never been to a IRL race. I can’t wait to see their faces.
