2016 Indyslotcar Rapids Grand Prix in Pictures

As per tradition we present the Indyslotcar Rapids Grand Prix in pictures.
Rather than just include race image, we try to offer some of the different sites from around the track.


The oval at Badger Raceway is the site of a WWII reenactment encampment.
The 24th Armored Division is based near Rapids and often takes the opportunity to showcase their equipment to the spectators.

 The town grew along the train track.
 A small junkyard of cars for curious onlookers
A police officer questions a man in the Batmobile while a woman checks her makeup.
 A group of WWII veterans swap stories aboard a duck.
Residents often rent out their homes. It looks like these renters have brought enough luggage for an entire month rather than the week.
The train going under the pit lane along one of the main roads.
The American LeMans Series Alumni Association staging for a support race
 The view of turn one from atop the pit garages
Why these women are staring at a blank wall no one had the nerve to ask
 These women were staring at the male passers by...there is a little debauchery left in the town
 There was an auction for the Trans Am cars used in the movie Smokey & The Bandit
Underneath the pitlane is a secret army base. Notice the Sherman, M1 Abrams, and Grant tanks.
 Protecting the city from an EMERGENCY are John Gage, Roy DeSoto, Chet, Lopez, Mike, of squad and engine 51.
