Brickyard 200

Murph rode his bike a few times around the 
city of Speedway which took him past the 
main entrance to the IMS.

Next on the summer activity list is a brief gig working a few days at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway as the Indy Car Grand Prix and the NASCAR Brickyard 200 came to town.  Murph worked for pretty long days but at his working post of Gasoline Alley and Pit Lane, he saw lots of great race cars and significant racing action.

A bike ride around Speedway was great exercise before setting to work the next day.

Murph's assignment had him starting before dawn,
but provided some good photo opportunities.

Murph and Randy visited their alma mater, Wabash College.  This bench is painted with
new statements on a frequent basis.
Now it is ready for the new freshman class,
expected to arrive soon.

Randy's first time at ax throwing and he proves
to be a natural!  He clobbered Murph by
winning all but one match.

The ax throwing venue included Wally!

Murph & Randy model the latest Wabash Hawaiian shirts!
