Things to do in indianapolis?

Next weekend is the Meacum Auto Auction in Indy, similar to Barret Jackson. There are lots of free tickets floating around.

There is also the NHRA Div.3 "make up" race Fri and Sat at ORP from the rain out a few weeks ago. There were 4 of the new Hemi super stock challengers there at the rain out last time that will likely return. Also had a full group of Alcohol Funny cars!

You can drop by ProMax Carbs and Performance parts on Friday and say Hi! There is also usually someone there on Saturdays running motors on the dyno (call first). I would say you could go to Indy Cylinder head, but as a general rule they aren't the friendliest group and aren't open on Sat.

There is a decent night life downtown on the weekend, with live bands and even a decent Blues bar.

The Indy 500 Track has a cool museum and track tour, but with the up coming race I don't know if they are open that weekend.

I will be working the race at ORP for the NHRA race, but usually hang out at Buffalo Wild Wings in Speedway in the evening.

There is a go-cart track on the west side at 38th and 465 if the weather is nice.

Might check with some of the guys from the Indy Mopar club to see if they have an event that weekend.

indy has one of the nicest ,cleanest, safest big cities there is. if youve never been there you have to go to theindianapolis motor speedway. they should be qualifing that weekend. also the night life downtown is always good. also raceway park is running the points meet that weekend always a big race around 600 racers

Forget the bars, go here...
Fast Times

If you don't mind a 60 mile drive north, Saturday night.

Went there for the Classic Race in 05 and had a blast! Definetly check out the 500 track and museum and the Drag Strip a few miles away so much history between the two!

Go see the boys at Indy Cylinder Head??
Ha Ha

BABES ,CLASSY CHASSIES ,couldn't help it.

Indy IS the motor sports capital of the world so there is plenty to see and experience. Like the other guys have already said; take in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, it is really amazing even if you don't follow roundy round cars, the make up Division 3 points race at O'Reilly Raceway Park where I spend most of my life, Mecum Auction at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, my Hemi Barracuda will go thru at 9:15 p.m. on Friday night so bring your check book , etc. etc. etc. There is plenty of night life here but you need to be careful where you go. If you stay out of the bars you'll stay out of trouble.

indy 500 qualifications and museum would be your best bet..even if your not into open wheel its still something you should do once

as for bars i'd hit the rathskeller downtown...a 100 year old german place w/ a huge outdoor beer garten

Division 3 points meet at Raceway Park,(that's where I'll be), Brownsburg race shops, INDY 500 qualifying and go to the Slippery Noodle for some BLUES and food.

Next Saturday is pole day at IMS,if you've never been there it is a awesome time,lots of good bars and restaurants in the downtown area,Indy has some bad areas,but for the most part it is a safe and fun city to visit!

Dosnt DG live in Indy? Like scott said stop in and see Ben at PROMAX on gasoline alley...

There are things goin on at the track I think....but dont skip the bars....send me a pm of what kind of bars you like and Ill tell you where to go, Im somewhat of a professional in that department

I understand a restaurant named “The Iron Skillet” is still open. Is it still good? We used to eat there a long time ago when we were in Indy. It was great food served family style.
