The Indy 500 in and of itself is amazing, but to the plumbing industry, it is a monumental challenge for those plumbers tasked with servicing all of the plumbing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS). Ticket sales for the 2024 Indy 500 exceeded 335,000 people. Led by the first woman Plumbing Foreman for IMS, Adrianne (Fowler) Morrow, and 10 plumbers this year took on taking care of 3000 toilets, 1900 faucets and 1500 urinals for all of the bathrooms at the track. The weather presented a challenge for us all, but the race began at 4:45 PM (was supposed to start at 12:45pm) and finished at around 8:00 PM.

This is the world famous Indianapolis Motor Speedway's Pagoda around 5:00 AM on race day before the rain set in later and delayed the start of the Greatest Spectacle in Racing.
