MIRPA Enjoys a day in Bobby Rahal's "Man Cave"

The Meadowdale International Raceway Preservation Association recently held a meeting in what 1986 Indy 500 winner Bobby Rahal calls his "Ultimate Man Cave".

The highlight of the event for many was being able to run on Rahal's custom designed 1/32 slot car track which is laid out and decorated to resemble Elkhart Lake Wisconsin's "Road America". The track was built by Slot Mods USA.

Enjoy these photos from the event held on the grounds of Autobahn Country Club Raceway located in the western Chicago suburbs.
