All the Pretty Colors

People started to come early afternoon to settle in a shaded 

spot on Main Street to see the annual parade of

NASCAR haulers. Displays were set up to show various

organizations' offerings; there was a stage with a country band

as well as a company offering cremation services for pets.

And then one could hear the sirens as the police and fire department

 escorts led the contingent of 50-odd semis up Main Street where the trucks

parked two abreast and nose to tail so admirers of all shapes and ages

 could walk among them to visit and take pictures for their 

scrap books and their friends.

There were so many nice pictures to take and I probably missed 

two-thirds of them. I get so enthralled by the beautiful

graphics, bright colors and polished chrome, I forget other

things. A local car club brought their street rods, made up primarily

of late 1940's Fords, it seems, so I was reminded of a 50's

era used car lot. The Dallara factory has just opened

across the street, with an interactive display showing the 

construction processes of their racing cars, and another company

was offering rides around Speedway in either an 

Indy two-seater or NASCAR automobile. 

Of course, more pictures to come.
