Read Neiman Marcus Christmas Book Online
A replica simulator of the No. 26 Klein Tools/Jim Beam Dallara/Honda/Firestone that carried Dan Wheldon to the 2005 Indianapolis 500 and IRL IndyCar® Series titles could make the ultimate holiday gift for a race fan.
The simulator, very similar to what racing fans see each week at IndyCar Series events, was included in the popular and prestigious Neiman Marcus Christmas Book. The full-bodied car features a high-tech, flat-screen monitor with stand and includes the IndyCar Series 2005 Xbox video game.
Avid race fans also can buy the ultimate 2006 Indianapolis 500-Mile Race hospitality package for two, which includes a ride in the Indy Racing Experience two-seater, in the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book. The 2006 Indianapolis 500 is scheduled for Sunday, May 28.
The package also includes round-trip airfare, hotel (four nights), ground transportation and parking for race weekend, credentials and pit access, VIP seating, the chance to meet Tony George, CEO of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indy Racing League, and IRL IndyCar® Series drivers, a behind-the-scenes tour of the ABC Sports broadcast compound with ABC Sports on-air celebrities, tickets to the Indianapolis 500 Victory Celebration, food, beverages and autographed IndyCar Series merchandise.
There are two price points on the ultimate racing fan gift: $65,000 for the simulator and $75,000 for the simulator and the hospitality package.
Both items are part of the "Fantasy Gifts" section of the book. They are listed with other items such as the Neiman Marcus limited edition Lexus GS 450H, an M400 Skycar prototype, a one-of-kind tree sculpture by artisan/builder Roderick Romero, a "Dreamboat" levitating sculpture and a private concert with Elton John.
