A Suite Grand Prix 05/11
Charlie was again able to get multiple tickets for club members to enjoy the Indy Car Sonsio Grand Prix from the Turn 2 suite. Members and guests able to go were of course host Charlie along with Sherry & Randy, John & Ruth and his daughter Kim and her friend Pete, and Bill with race enthusiast Mitch along for the day. The day had several races for the Sonsio Grand Prix with the Indy NXT race before the Indy Car Grand Prix. Mitch had a friend in the NXT race who ended up 6th. Even before that race the suite had some excitement in front of it as Arrow McLaren’s race day got off to a rough start when Pato O’Ward’s No. 5 Chevrolet suffered an engine problem during the morning warmup. Flames were visible as it came to rest right in front of us. Between the two races there was a parade of C8's, with a number of them this year across the now 5 years of production. Of course being in the suite meant a great food and drinks with lots of other people there having a great day. Charlie also was giving his usual golf cart rides to the pits, which Kim & Pete enjoyed. Also the shirt and hat vendors made a few sales to the group too. The Grand Prix itself was good one with Alex Palou beating Will Power for the win. At least club sponsor Penske's car got a podium finish.
Another fun day enjoyed by those that could make it on a beautiful spring day.
