Golf Cart Tours

The Golf Cart Tour is our most in-depth and intimate tour of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway grounds, showcasing restricted backstage areas, the 2.5-mile oval*, and all major IMS landmarks. This 90-minute driving tour is a uniquely personalized experience, featuring one-on-one conversation with only our most knowledgeable tour guides. Tours depart at 9:30 a.m., 12 p.m., and 2:30 p.m. Our Golf Cart Tour will take you behind the scenes to the Pagoda, Gasoline Alley, Victory Podium, the Snake Pit, and more. On days that the track is not in use, the tour also includes a lap around the legendary IMS oval with a stop at the start/finish line to kiss the bricks. Please note that the Speedway is an active racetrack and availability of the oval and “Yard of Bricks” is not guaranteed on the tour. Golf Cart Tours are available on select dates from April through October. *Note: If a Golf Cart tour is being offered the same day as the Victory Podium tours, that means a lap of the oval is NOT included due to track use. Museum admission is required to take a track tour. When clicking the “Buy Tickets” button, you must reserve your Museum time before the tour tickets will appear.

Polly Barton - What Am I, A Deer

We're delighted that Polly Barton will be joining us in the bookshop to celebrate the Edinburgh launch of her novel, What Am I, A Deer?. With astonishing existential acuity, Polly Barton’s formidable debut novel renders the paradoxes of modern life in all its complexity, in deliriously self-conscious prose that is at once propulsive, titillating and bitingly funny. Barton will be in conversation with fellow author Anahit Behrooz.This event will take place in the bookshop with an in-person audience, as well as a livestream for attendees watching from home. There will be a signing after the event.About What Am I, A Deer?:What does it mean to lose yourself – and is that something you should be aiming for? A young woman with little interest in games takes up a job in Frankfurt at a famous gaming company, naively set on reinvention. On her morning commute, in the familiar clutches of tedium and self-loathing, she encounters a nice-eyed stranger who returns her forgotten umbrella and finds herself catapulted into a dizzying, year-long whirlwind of obsession – not just with this endlessly attractive spectre, but also with the feverish karaoke trips from which she draws the ultimate solace. Echoing with the sounds of Whitney Houston and The Cure, reaching for the sublime in dark, sweaty boxes, What Am I, A Deer? is an exhilarating exploration of authenticity, fantasy, romance and intoxication.

Lisa Tuttle & Brigid Lowe - My Death & The Bloody Branch

For this special double-feature event, we're delighted that authors Lisa Tuttle and Brigid Lowe are coming to the bookshop to discuss their respective novels, My Death and The Bloody Branch. They will be in conversation with Rebecca Wojturska, Managing Director of independent publisher Haunt Publishing. Expect the discussion to get spooky, Celtic and rather uncanny...This event will take place in the bookshop with an in-person audience, as well as a livestream for attendees watching from home. There will be a signing after the event.About My Death:A writer decides to write her next book about a female author and artist unjustly forgotten by history. But what starts as an exciting research project rapidly unravels towards breakdown and horror. The subject is to be Helen Ralston, an early twentieth-century author who has been systematically written out of history. The narrator sets about investigating her story as an artist, writer and muse to a much more famous man. Amazingly Ralston turns out to be still alive, and although elderly and frail a series of interviews begin.But a tale about the historic erasure of female voices starts to break down into something even more sinister, bizarre and all-consuming as the narrator uncovers unnerving parallels between Ralston's story and her own...About The Bloody Branch:Darkness is falling across the land.
