MTTS 10 - the other dragon and the brickyard
That was a busy day today! Good one though 
Loaded Gallery here, or preview these pics:
We started the day next to the St Louis arch, setting up nearly 150 MINIs for an aerial photo …
Since all the MINIs were together for the photo, they all headed out and drove towards Indianapolis together for a while, giving some great pictures …
Many MINIs stopped at Vandalia, IL (invited by the towns chamber of commerce) - for a photo op under “the dragon” (and discounted gas!)
Then the highlight of day day - Indianapolis Speedway with a chance to drive the track! Maybe for this reason, this was the best attended leg since we left Monterey …
When we completed the lap, MINIs were still entering - there was a lot of MINIs!
And finally to the hotel … dinner … shower … sorting & posting pics …

You can see my MINI in two of those shots. Along the river front, BRG/W with the flopping flag all the way in the back. And then on the drive to IND side view Miror bit, I am two behind the Orange MINI (his name is Gromit). And you must have been driving next to me for the other IND drive photo. Great times!
