I was down in Champaign, IL for the week on business. I was leading an external review (audit) team on one of the NADP analytical laboratories. I flew in and out of Indianapolis airport, it’s about a 2 hour drive from there, just a lot easier than O’Hare in Chicago. On the last night I went for dinner in Philo, IL. According to the water tower, Philo is the Centre of the Universe.
I was down in Champaign, Illinois last week for a few days. I had meetings with folks from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program at the University of Illinois. We flew direct from Toronto to Indianapolis and then drove 2 hours to Champaign. The weather was nice during the day, sunny and hot. It brought in a nice thunder and lightning storm that evening.
There was a nice sunrise the next morning.
The one night they took us down to Campustown for dinner. This is the main quad, that is Foellinger Auditorium in the background.
The Alma Mater statue, a popular spot for grad photos.
Altgeld Hall, this is the original university library building in 1897, it now houses the Department of Mathematics and Mathematics Library.
Noticed that the markings on the tarmac at the Indianapolis Airport are in the racing motif.
I was down in Indianapolis this past week for a meeting/scientific symposium. On the Thursday after the meetings had finished, there was an outing to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a tour of the track.
You start with a bus tour that takes you on the track.
The 100th anniversary brick at the start/finish line.
Looking down the track from the starting row.
The Pagoda.
The only part of the track that is still brick.
After the track tour was a tour of the media centre.
Note the CRT television screens. In this day flat screens, you would think there would be no sign of CRT’s.
Me with my racing wings.
Another sign of the times, this is the race control room, beneath all the crt screens, there are vcr’s. The guide said races were recorded on vas, since it would be harder to doctor a vhs tape than a digital file.
After the tour of the track you return to the museum and Hall of Fame.
There a lot of past winning cars on display. Some racing teams do not donate their cars as they like to display in their own museums. One of the race teams that are no where to be seen is Penske.
The Borg-Warner Trophy.
The 1911 winning car and the 2011 wining car.
Jacques Villeneuve on the trophy from his 1995 victory.
The number 27 car from his 1995 victory. He has only raced in 3 Indy 500’s, he placed 2nd in 1994, won in 1995 and finished 14th in 2014.
The Indianapolis Power & Light Company Building.
The Soldiers and Sailors Monument.
I had some time Friday morning before heading to the airport to walk around downtown. Here is the Indiana State Capitol building.
Oliver P. Morton was the 14th and first Indiana-born Governor of Indiana.
I had a bratwurst burger from this food truck that was parked outside of the hotel.
Looking down West Market Street to the Capitol Building.
The Soldiers and Sailors Monument. It is 284ft, only 21ft shorter than the Statue of Liberty (305ft), I learned that tidbit from my shuttle driver from the airport.
