I am a fly in mechanic for a USF2000 team, and we did the Indy Grand Prix last weekend. If you drive there you have to park across the road, outside the track, and it's a half mile walk. But if you ride a bike, you don't need a vehicle pass or anything, and can park directly at your transporter. So I rode the H2B in for a few days. Day two, I ride in and park next to the truck and start to prep for the morning qualifying. Five mins later a couple of the yellow shirt officials walk in and ask me if it was my bike, I reply yes, and they tell me I rode in too fast and if I do that again, I won't be riding that bike here again. I ask what the speed limit in the infield is, one of them says 10 mph. I reply, I can't ride that bike at 10! He says, ok, 20! Their real problem I think, was the sound of a piped triple, probably used to Harleys at garden tractor rpms I suspect.
