The nice thing about owning your own company is that you can often mix a little pleasure with business.
After two days of client meetings, I found myself with about five hours of free time before my flight home.
A business associate happened to be in town visiting family and had some free time as well, so we met at the Indianapolis Speedway Museum for a quick visit and then off to lunch...of course.
It cost us $5 each to get in, and they offered us a great tour of the facilities and track for $25, but we didn't have the time to do that, this visit.
So, we took a self tour of the museum, watched a short movie, spent some money in the gift shop for a souvenir mug and pen and then it was off to Dawsons On Main for a tasty Cobb Salad.
My flight was bumpy from start to finish, but I am home now, thankfully.
The good news is that I had a productive and fun business trip and the weekend is almost here. Hope your week is going well and thanks for stopping by for the visit!
When I was driving for Trailways I took a charter of car parts dealers to Indy for the 500 tryouts, parked with the back of the bus against a fence and went to the second floor of the part suites, each one had the requisite bar, and buffet and a balcony 18 feet above the track where Indy cars were qualifying at 220 mph, they had ear plugs at the door as the noise was deafening, I called Donna at work and said listen this this. A note of interest was all the cars that year were powered with Honda engines.It really was quite a day for a motorhead. Be safe out there. Sam & Donna..
ReplyDeleteOwning your own company does have some perks thats for sure. Glad that you enjoyed your "business" trip.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great use of personal time. Quick trip, though.
ReplyDeleteToo bad you couldn't have gone for a 200 mph spin around the brickyard.
