Maybe its a bad idea in your view,but when you are that close,and dont get out that way much,and if you live in Indiana its probably 12 hours away,then it doesnt look to bad. Or maybe some of us are keener than others to do such things on the side.
I noted on another thread a few weeks ago to go there Saturday Morning. The museum is open from 9 to 1. To go there on a weekday like today,then no you wont have time to really enjoy the place,because the tours dont start till the early afternoon.
I recommended going there,as I have been there a few times myself over the years and its the best racing/hot rod museum I have been to........by far..........and I have been to a bunch of racing museums over the years.
Bottom line is this: If you plan ahead, you can go to Speedway Motors and tour their museum,and have plenty of time to get back to Knoxville and kick back a bit before going to the race.
