Indy Concours 6/18/05
Indianapolis is hosting its third concours show next Saturday. Both Rayburn Pennington and myself plan to have Motion cars on display. 250 cars are registered so it should be a decent show.
Tom Clary, I heard you might be bringing your DH funny car? Dan |
Re: Indy Concours 6/18/05
Yep, that is the plan. Since it is part of the F1 racing weekend, should be a very diverse crowd, with lots of foreign flags, etc. I heard last year over 25,000 folks attended the show.

Very cool. Lets plan to go in together so we can be on the circle in the same spot. We will show 'em some first class muscle!
BTW- please plan on being my guest for dinner at The Rathskeller that evening. Dan |

What the crowd was like by mid-afternoon. Estimates were 30,000+. And I think the majority of them wanted to hear the funnycar run. During the show they had me pull it out into street and fire it about every hour or so. Following the show, as I went to load it, I had to fire it two more times for the crowd that had arrived from the track. I found out even F1 fans appreciate the sound of a blown Chevy bigblock. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: Indy Concours 6/18/05
A really fun show, with many, many rare and interesting cars. Several of the cars there had won top awards at other prestigous Concours shows, such as Peeble Beach, Meadowbrook and Amelia Island.
And many thanks to Dan for allowing us to dine with him at his resturant Saturday evening, The Rathskeller. The food was outstanding. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif |
