You're a lucky man. Great shots.

Is this the track the motorcycles have raced on for years?

No motorcycles as far as I know, but they had ChampCar/CART (and its precedents) the week after Indy forever. They even scored the IRL (though not in the traditional CART spot, which they still hold) starting last year. It is the oldest auto racecourse in America (going on its 102nd year).

It's back into the breech tomorrow; hopefully what rain we're getting comes tonight. Speaking of which, we were treated to a light show off to the north for much of the race, and there was a drop here and there between lap 75 and 120 (nothing to throw a yellow over, though).
