This is what's left of the wooded area that used to be the Asylum housing the Rescue folk's abodes.

By pit lane, looking past St. John's on the left, new medical bldg in the center and Kohler bathrooms on the right.

Taken from next to the pit lane, looking back toward the old medical building.

Looking west, past the old medical building.

Looking from the paved paddock to the area behind the old medical building.

This is the Siebkens food stand (formerly the cajun place) looking to the northwest and the new flat spot behind it.

Looking north (track is to the left) showing the many feet of elevation being added to this area. For scale if you look closely you'll see a bulldozer in the middle right of the picture.

Looking toward the Media Center which is now visible from here. The retention pond is in the foreground.

Looking toward the track between the Sargento bridge and 4. They have added many feet of dirt to this whole area and you can see the end of the current push on the right.

The car is in the same spot as in the picture a few after this one. This shows the additional area to the right (west).

About halfway down the upper Indycar paddock looking back at the new expansion. Billboards are to the right.

Taken from the intersection facing north, to the left is the road across the Sargento bridge. The track is sort of visible to the left going down into 4. Much of the dirt that was excavated above is being moved down here.

Yes, the tech shelter will remain. Behind it on top of the hill is the new expansion of the Indycar paddock.

Standing on the edge of the 'cliff' behind the tech shed looking north toward the new medical building. Old medical building is on the right and newly leveled area to the west of it. Paved paddock is to the right of the old medical building.

Taken from the same spot as the last picture only now looking south. This used to be a narrow road running behind the tech shed and is now the newly expanded Indcar paddock. Really a huge area. You can get the scale of the space from my CRV.

Pictures were taken on Friday, Feb. 10, 2006.

Looking south to the rear of St. John's food stand and where the Steward's trailer used to be.

This is taken from in front of St. John's looking back toward the Kohler bathroom (on the right) and the new medical building on the left.

Looking to the southwest toward the expanded new Indycar paddock, west of the tech shed.

Looking back from the newly expanded upper paddock toward the medical building.

The new medical building and Steward's meeting place. It sits behind the Kohler bathroom facility.
