I was in the Midwest this week and stopped by IMS. Here's a bunch of pictures from the museum and track tour.

Thanks for posting those Howard. Love that Benz. Same color for my SL-C.
Have you decided on your rear window vent shape?

We did the track tour about a year ago - very cool. Went to the Dallara plant a couple of months ago. It's about a mile away from the speedway and is a must see.

I have a unique "paperweight" on my desk...a brick from the track that a friend (ex-Shelby racing employee and Indycar crew member) "liberated" from a storage building at the track when they did a rebuild many years ago. It has the "Culver Block" name embossed on it.

Howie,

That really looks like a great trip, thanks for the photos.

I just love this little 275 LM, I'm pritty sure its the very car that won the 1965 Le Mans (Rindt/Gregory), 1st overall after all the GT/40s broke. Its hard to believe that as late as 1965, skinny wire wheels could still win Le Mans.
