Wednesday, June 1, 2011 - Indianapolis, IN to Fort Wayne, IN

Speedway Racing Capital of the World!

Even the overpass is about winning

Indy! Where they just ran the 500 three days earlier! They have been running the Indianapolis 500 since 1911.

So glad to see bicycle parking here

Leftover earplugs from race day?

The car that won the very 1st Indianapolis 500 (we think)

This is always a good idea.

The trophy!

CAR!

Control tower

Stephanie wonders if this truck is hauling milk.

CAR!

The entrance/exit to the museum goes right under the track! CAR!

We had never thought about the name of this gas station chain before...

And on to more baseball! Parkview Field is the home of the Ft. Wayne Tin Caps.

(some people call them the Pot Heads)

We found some friends! Actually, they are practically family. Janet and Andy Katz joined us at the game. Hi Janet! Hi Andy!

BIG shoe!

Once again, we just walked up the the ticket window about a half-hour before game time and bought seats in the 4th row. They cost $9 each.

Hi Andy! Hi Janet! Stephanie LOVES your hat, Andy!

The "real" Tin Cap himself! This is Johnny, for Johnny Appleseed who hails from these parts.
Bad Apple Dancers!

This is not an incorrect assessment.

C'mon, Blue!

Tribute to Harry Carey during the 7th Inning Stretch

HUMAN BOWLING!

Taking out the pins

Awww - Stephanie loves apples!

Thumbs up!

Unfortunately, the Fort Wayne Tin Caps (A for the Padres) lost to the Clinton Lumberkings (A for the Mariners).
