Topeka!
 

We haven't been to Topeka in 7-8 years. So how have things changed there? Do you still come in thru the tunnel? Do they still have those great curly potatoes? How about the Topeka Steakhouse? Is it still the best place to eat? We plan on leaving here tomorrow afternoon and arriving there sometime on Thursday.

See ya there!

Patsy and Larry,

You still come in through the tunnel. I think you will find the new sportsman parking area an improvement (especially if it rains). I think the topeka steak house is a memory if we are thinking about the same place.

Look forward to seeing you there.

One of the best places to eat would be @ Pat's Pig! Great BBQ food and only a few miles from the track. Everything is much nicer too. As Mike said, the sportsman pit area is all blacktop now. The only downfall to that is that it gets so hot and it's a long way to the staging lanes. They also have a nice restroom/shower area for all the racers.

Looks like it should be great weather there this weekend!

We'll see you there.

The track was renovated a few years ago. You'll be impressed from the last time you were there.

Larry and Patsy,

Here's a supporting vote for "Pat's Pig." A restaurant has to be memorable when I can remember the name ten minutes after walking out the door. Had dinner there one evening in 1999 with Rob Youngblood and Bill Rink. I'm still laughing!

Good luck,

Of course, you have to go to STEAK 'N' SHAKE once when in Topeka.

Re: Topeka!
 

I can't wait! This will be my first national event with the car. My rookie season in stock lol.

The weather looks good and I'm excited!

See ya there!

Re: Topeka!
 

I have eaten at many restrauants in Topeka, the best I have found is the Texas Roadhouse. By far the best steak I have found. Pats Pig is tasty, but check with your heart doc first. I have went to the Texas Roadhouse the last 2 or 3 years, and its great. I won't be racing this yearthere, just being a professional pit crew.

Re: Topeka!
 

Texas Roadhouse was great last year. When are you planing to arriving? We are planning to get there and teched in Thursday afternoon.

Re: Topeka!
 

Larry, Pat's pig is a great stop for dinner and they love racers! I travel a lot for work and I like Steak and Shake Tex Roadhouse, but come on, that stuff is in every town over 10,000. Pat's pig is local fare!

Re: Topeka!
 

Thanks guys for all the suggestions. I remember that we ate at Pat's Pig also.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Thurs.

Re: Topeka!
 

Pats Pig is great BBQ, Tammy & her hubby love the racers as well. I'll see some of you there I'm sure!

Larry,
It's the old Don's Steakhouse out east on 93rd St that you're thinking of. They've been gone for several years, but dang, they did serve some of the best steaks around.

See you all there,

Anyone got an extra stocker? Mine's still in Houston blow'd up.

Bernie,

Horse is listed for sale, but can't deliver until September or October due to scheduled shows. Already getting some tire (Hoof?) kickers. Got one Mom & Dad that are pretty serious about my daughters horse for their up & coming daughter.

Still serious about our earlier discussion this year for Vegas & Pomona if you're interested.

See you in,,,,,,,,,Seattle or Sonoma?
