You know it’s a party when Rexy and Roxy are on the dance floor, with AO Racing’s lovable mascots mingling with the packed house–little kids, big kids and a couple of dogs, too.

The affair: IMSA’s pre-Rolex Twenty-Four Premier, a free event hosted across the street from the Speedway.

The gist of the evening: dozens of cars, pit stop demos, a full slate of drivers and thousands of guests. Oh, and two giant, dancing dinosaurs.

It was busy last night and lots of people. Fun to see this event constantly grow.

And no charge to attend.
