Yes, that's right. You can drag race your car for a nominal fee and signing a waiver; don't forget your helmet. Drag race against fellow Hoosiers and get a time-card after each drag. This world-famous quarter-mile drag strip is home to the NHRA US Nationals, and the oval hosts the NASCAR Xfinity Series and Gander Outdoors Truck Series. Public dragging happens once a week during the Spring-Fall. It's cheap/free to watch. All ages, but 18+ to drag.
It is Indy's pride and joy sporting landmark. Several motor races take place here, most notably the Indianapolis 500, Brickyard 400 and Indycar Grand Prix.

A must-see when visiting Indy, for race lovers or not.
