DAN'S PHOTO JOURNALS
Indy 500 - Practice
Wednesday May 16th 2007
Dan's Photo Journal Index
Cloudy and cool with much wind today.

Brian and I scored Turn 2 Suite passes.

This was my first time in these suites - the oldest
suites at IMS.   There are 4 levels, 3 that are
above the track, and we were on level 3.

These seats are incredible!   You practically hang
over the track and I dare say these are the best
seats I've ever had.   You're so close you have to
wear earplugs when there is just one car on the
track!

The suite was catered and provided beer.  They also
gave us some garage/pit passes for an hour or two.

After returning to the suites, I accidentally erased
the card in my camera. losing all my photos.  Luckily
Brian was there taking photos and I will present
those for you.

All of the stands on the south side of the track
were closed.  We sat in the Turn 2 Infield viewing
hill for awhile before we left.

We started to leave at 4pm and we heard the thump
as Jimmy Kite smacked the wall.  All we saw though
was smoke.

I believe the driver is watching a tv
monitor
I was standing behind Wheldon when Brian
took this photo.  I was surprised to see
Roberto Moreno walk up.  As he walked by, he
pinched Wheldon on the butt as he was signing
autograaphs.  Pretty funny.
