Indy 500-related Activities

dirtnonwingfan · 5/7/08, 5:50 PM

I know that every year there are various autograph sessions, car appearances, memorabilia shows, etc. around Indy during the month of May. I am talking about the things which are away from the Speedway itself. It is a little hard living 200 miles away to find out about all of them. Do any of the IOW board members who live in Indy know of any, or at least where I could find out about them? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Thanks, Steve. Looks like that covers everything at the Speedway. I wonder if anyone knows about events not at the Speedway. For example, until last year, the Kroger a few blocks down the street had a few vintage cars on display the Thursday before the 500 and 3 or 4 drivers for an autograph session in the afternoon. One time I was driving past a Honda dealership and noticed that there was a Michael Andretti car on display. Anyone know where any of these types of events are being held this year? Thanks for any info.
