The First Pagoda

One of the great symbols of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is what locals and fans worldwide refer to as "the Pagoda." The reference is not exclusively to the current 13 story steel and glass structure that is more "pagoda inspired" than an edifice that makes a serious attempt to emulate the classic Japanese design.

Renowned artist W.K. Glibert (Gilbert Art) has been selected as the official artist for the upcoming feature-length motion picture about the first Indianapolis 500. Gilbert is using FirstSuperspeedway.com to help communicate updates on his work on this exciting project. Look for additional images concerning Gilbert's progress in this image gallery as well as news developments in regular posts in this site's blog.
