In honor of the 98th Indianapolis 500 held today, some photos I snapped while passing through the Indianapolis Airport. Photos taken at the Colonel H. Weir Cook Terminal.
The Russo-Nichels Special, affectionately known as Basement Bessie. A good synopsis of its history can be found here: http://speedwaysightings.wordpress.com/2007/05/26/the-russo-nichels-special-aka-basement-bessie/
Although I grew up in Indianapolis, I am not really a racing fan. Didn't find out until I was writing this post that the car, indeed built in a basement, was fabricated in Hammond, IN, not far from where my wife grew up.
