    Yes, we've been moved to August this year. The track was busy for our specific date, and the other weekends in September have Notre Dame home games.

    Stay tuned for host hotel info and other activities, as we go....

    From what Loyd said, they will be more lenient this year about staying at the track. I don't know the details yet, still to come. And yes, what Tim said - at Osceola Track in Osceola, IN.

    And thanks in advance for the sponsorship interest.....:)

    The Ramada Inn called me today to tell me the indoor pool would be out of commission for renovations, but who cares, as long as there is cold :beers2: out there somewhere!:Dou:

    I personally was more concerned that the Bennigans was still open - having a bar on premises is a good thing! And yes, since they're a franchise, they're still open.

    And for the swimmers - the outdoor pool will be open.

    10 more days.....

    Danie last year they locked you in. We had some friends stay at the track in a motor home but they may allow you out this year I'm not sure. I don't remember showers at the track but maybe there is. Hell just buy a toter and you will be all set. I don't think sundays was to backed and I would bet they will make some arrangements to get you guy's track time it would make for a good show. They don't have anything really fast there, they were making a big deal out of my car so I bet they will surely get you track time.
