May 22: The Mini 500 Roars Again!

  • June 12, 2013

You have heard of the Indy 500 – but the Mini 500? Now, that’s racing! Held the Wednesday before the Indy 500 each year on Memorial Day weekend, the St. Augustine Home Mini 500 has all the sights and sounds of the brickyard, except the bricks. The big race has an official pace car. We have the real thing! The big race is kicked off by the Gordon Pipers; ours is kicked off by the President of the Pipers, Doug Hardwick. The big race has celebrities; the Mini is introduced by Mayor Greg Ballard of Indianapolis, and Winnie Ballard is a regular, too. The big race has tail-gating and refreshments, and our lemonade is the best in town. 

Many thanks to Myra Albrecht for her able announcing and colorful commentary, to those who prepared prizes and refreshments, and to Jeannine Hong for spot-on music.

Nine relay teams competed in the Mini 500:
