Indy 500 - Pit Passes & Pics To Come!

Post by Jagosaurus »

Hey guys, know we have some open wheel race fans from my post last year on the Indy Series Houston Grand Prix. I'll be in Indianapolis tomorrow for the Indy 500.

To make it even more awesome :) luckily I know a guy who is a lap sponsor. Free covered seats around the finish line & free open pit and garage passes before the race!!! I'll post some pics. Any request for pics of certain cars, or race teams from the pits pre-race?

Will update with pics over the weekend :)

Happy for you, man! Not into racing sports, but it'd still be interesting to see a big event like that in person. Congrats!

Yeah, you had some nice stuff from Houston. To see the 500 in person is just an amazing experience. I hope Takuma Sato can pull it off and do reasonably well -- 2 years ago was not fun when he crashed on the final lap! He's not having a good year so far.

I have no specific requests as I'm not super into it, but I'm keen for whatever cool pictures you post when you return. :)

Awesome! I'm a huge motorsports fan and Indycar is probably my favorite series to follow. Hope to go there myself someday!

Hinch is my guy so pics of his team and car would be cool.

His girlfriend is also super hot. *wink wink*

Don't forget your driving controllers. Paddles won't work.

Joe & Hobie, as fellow Houston folk, I definitely recommend the Grand Prix in town in October. Tickets are cheap as it's starting back up.

@Exes & Cave: pics of Sato & The Mayor of Hinchville to come tomorrow!!!

No Atari paddles brought ;)

@Aaron, my 3rd visit. Great city & great race. We stay @ the Embassy downtown. Love the area. Your favorite restaurant in the area bud?

I am super jealous. My buddy and I went to the Baltimore Grand Prix last year, and I even posted some pics in your thread, but they cancelled it for this year and next year. No idea if it will really come back in 2016. Doubt it because too many people didn't like it. Can't wait to see the pictures.

Great win for RHR!!! It was a great race and I was glad to see it run green for so long. Closing laps were intense too.
