Speedway, IN Outdoor Activities

Since it officially opened in December 2011, Indy Trading Post's indoor shooting range continues to provide a safe and modern space for marksmen to hone their aim. Experts walk novices through safety and firing lessons before they shoot their first round, ensuring visits remain safe and enjoyable. The facility's store also stocks a cache of handguns, shotguns, and other firearms distributed from top-name manufacturers, as well as ammunition and protective gear.

The Golf Solutions 360 grounds house a comprehensive cadre of tools designed for the improvement of golf games. Three-screen HD golf simulators allow players to drive into the virtual abyss without having to bribe course trolls to navigate like in real life. TrackMan video-analysis technology charts every aspect of a player’s swing and the ball flight that results, including data on launch and spin rate. To stock up for fieldwork, customers can go to the pro shop, where shelves and racks display name-brand drivers, putters, and apparel from brands such as Titleist, Callaway Golf, and TaylorMade. Exercise equipment tailored to golfers’ needs stands ready to strengthen muscles inside an onsite fitness facility. Throughout Golf Solutions 360’s expanse, friendly staff members man the counters and halls, ready to assist visitors in their quest to perfect their game.

After donning absurd costumes and slathering on ample amounts of wet earth, runners at the 5K Disaster Dash take on an exhilarating series of mud-slickened obstacles. Waves of runners are released onto the course every 30 minutes to dance between spare tires, slide down mudslides, and crawl through mud bogs. Climbing walls, rope ladders, and balance beams also await, intimidating runners with treacherous names including Tornado Alley, Crater Climb, and Hail Storm. After making it through the course, runners enjoy a post-race party with beer, food, and music at the Survivor's Saloon.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the American Red Cross of Greater Indianapolis, whose volunteers often rush through harsh, dirty conditions of their own to deliver food, clothing, shelter, and comfort to those in need.

As a teaching professional since 1994, Tim Lewis of Aahh! Golf Lessons! teaches the traditional swing while expounding on the unique but consistent playing style of Canadian Hall of Famer “Pipeline” Moe Norman, whose unorthodox swing and quirky personality are the stuff of legend. A guiding principle of the swing is keeping the club on a single plane, which minimizes the possibility that the club head ventures off course to produce erratic ball flights. Tim combines these swing mechanics with the Vardon grip, also known as the overlapping grip or the grip that finally captured Godzilla.
