Of course you'll go to the Speedway, right! The museum is great and has
to be the cheapest deal in the city. Museum is a $1 to get in. The ride
around the track, in a bus UGH!, is also a buck It's still worth it. 
Getting to be around race time here. I heard some testing going on last 
week as I drove by. You might get to see cars doing the track!

Union Jack's is a great pub for pizza and a zillion choices of beer.
Lots of original race and sports paintings. Great place to spot the
Indy drivers in May. We saw Bobby Rahal there last year. Just west of the
Speedway on Crawfordsville Rd near I-465. 

Most of the restaurants are chains so you'll know what to expect.

Further west on Crawfordsville Rd in Clermont is Raceway Park. I don't
know if anything is planned for this weekend.



Advance weather forecasts are not predicting Top-Down weather 
for this weekend. :(
