1st trip to Indy any suggestions? (2 Viewers)

[Ugly Duckling race team]

I am going to head out to Indy this week for my birthday and check the Big Go off my bucket list. I am already going to the Museum on Friday and wanted to see what other tips and tricks or advice can be given or activities to do while in town. I fly in Friday morning and leave on Tuesday.

thank you,

If you have a couple of extra days, the Duesenberg, Auburn, Cord museum in Auburn, IN is spectacular.

They have other brands on display too!

It is in the original showroom/factory building in the small town.

Historic Automobile Museum | Auburn Cord Duesenberg Automobile Museum

Check out the museum to discover three levels of historic car exhibits and themed galleries. Whether a school group or car enthusiast, this museum is a must-see destination for all!

Go for it!

Good luck! I remember my first trip there and it was great. Don't have anything particular to recommend though, maybe try a tour of one or more of the race shops if available.

I would recommend a top speed record attempt down I465. Last I was told, Al Unser Jr. has the record. I gotta think Mark Rebilas and myself have to be in the top ten somewhere.

FYI the Auburn car museum is in Auburn IN. About 2:38 up I69 from the track. It sure isn't in ILLINOIS.

Cruz Pedregon has an open house the Thursday before Indy. He has a car show along with an autograph session. It runs from 5pm-8:30.

Your map/coordinates are wrong. The ACD museum is 160 miles to the NNE of Brownsburg.

I meant north of Indianapolis.
