During this month of the Greatest Spectacle in the World!, join us for a intro to Old Speedway and walking tour.
We will meet at the Rosner Building, 1552 Main Street, in the heart of Old Speedway. At 7PM, Gillian Fletcher will provide an orientation for us to the Old and the New. Feel free to come earlier to take best advantage of the daylight -- from 5 to 6PM.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Jay van Santen at 317-513-2825.
Old Speedway. We'll visit the community surrounding it. The neighborhood has an integral connection with the automobile industry, providing the labor force and engineering talent and competition. Speedway was created as a planned community, rather self-contained, with industry and housing in close proximity.
In the last several decades, a number of motorsports groups have established offices near the downtown, and provide a rather dramatic contrast between historical and new Speedway.
Walks are typically scheduled on the 2nd Thursday of the month at our regular meeting. Our neighborhood host will meet us at 7PM, though members are welcomed to arrive earlier to take advantage of the lighting.
