| I sneaked my car into Gasoline Alley at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2002 after a drive around the track. |
 |
| Indy Tower in the rear view mirror of my old car, the only 20-year-old sweetie my wife let me hang around! Goodbye to the Brickyard - for now. |
 |
| If the pitlane looks crowded on this walkabout before the '03 GP, it's only because it WAS! But I loved it! |
 |
| Picture taken by my wife's Uncle Ralph, probably sometime in the 40's. Note the wooden chairs - & the CAR!!! |
 |
| Ever dreamed of doing THIS? Me too! View from the driver's seat in my '02 drive around of the F1 track at Indy. I wanted to get a picture of the State Police giving me a ticket right about here but alas, I had to settle for the thrill of driving 60 mph (35 over the limit!) |
 |
| I mentioned that I had a "sneak" preview of Pit Lane didn't I? Better to ask forgiveness than authorization, right? |

 |
| If you haven't guessed by now, I'm somewhat of a "car nut." Upon moving back to Indiana from Tennessee, I was fortunate enough to find friends who shared my love of motorsports. The following are pictures from the beloved Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Tony Hulman, whose family still owns the track is from Terre Haute and there is a lot of motor racing history in this area. And now, I would like to share some with YOU! |

| Most people would consider Terre Haute, Indiana a boring place. For the most part I would agree. However, above is a prime example of opportunities only available here. The building in the background is Hulman & Company, of the Indy 500 dynasty. |

| You won't find many Tuckers on the streets here though - or anywhere in fact! |
 |
| And remember if you have any cool old guitars or cars, I'd love to hear from you. |
