Coming home for Bowling Green and Indy...
 

Well this time next week I'll be leaving the base that I'm on to start heading back to Kandahar Air Field so I can come home for my two weeks of R&R. I'll be home between Aug. 18 and Sept. 2. So we're planning on going down to BG on Saturday to check out "Indy's test and tune". Then to Indy on Thursday for Stock class and maybe Friday for Super Stock. Then its back home to get ready to leave out again. Hope to meet some of you to put some faces to names, see some good racing and some awesome cars! Especially some stick cars! To put it mildly I'm having some major withdraws right about now. I need me some race gas fumes, some burning rubber and some 8000 rpm clutch dumps!!!! 'OL YEAH ITS INDY BABY!!!

Safe travels to you and hope you enjoy a well deserved break. Have fun and THANK YOU for your service.

Cool deal stop by and say hi at Indy!

Re: Coming home for Bowling Green and Indy...
 

Kris, please wear a distinctive hat and/or shirt and let us know what it is. Good chance you will not have to buy your own food/drink if a ClassRacer spots you. We appreciate your service and safe traveling.

Re: Coming home for Bowling Green and Indy...
 

Kris, stop by at BG and introduce yourself.

Re: Coming home for Bowling Green and Indy...
 

Guys I would be more than happy to stop in for a few and say hi. Where the best place to get a room in BG? I was just going to go down Saturday morning but I'm thinking more along the lines of Friday morning and staying the night.

Re: Coming home for Bowling Green and Indy...
 

I used to stay at the Hampton Inn at exit 22.

Re: Coming home for Bowling Green and Indy...
 

Best place to stay at BG. Camp at the track or at the camp grounds just outside the track. Better then any hotel lol but not because of the creature comforts. Skillmans crew is going to be down there last I talked to Ray. I'll be in Michigan at the CJ shoot out.

Hopefully I'll see you at Indy. Always great talking with you.



P.S. REAL CARS HAVE THREE PEDALS

Re: Coming home for Bowling Green and Indy...
 

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I've got some major withdraws going on and need a dose of racing to get my fix.

Joe, Larry and Patsy I'll defiantly be looking for you.

Captain Jack,
Thanks for offering up everyones beverages for me :D I'm sure they will appreciate it. You're right at that rate I wouldn't need a room I would be passed out down by the river somewhere :D

Greg,
I'll check out the Hampton Inn. Thanks for the heads up.

Daniel,
I talked with the track personnel about renting one of their RV/campers they have for a night but its a two night minimum so that doesn't really work for me. I would tent camp, I'm sure my 7 year would love that but I think my 70 year old Dad would prefer a real bed.

By the way if anybody is short handed at these races and could use some help just say the word. I would be more than willing to help someone out. Especially any stick cars :D sorry I don't know how to drive automatics.

Re: Coming home for Bowling Green and Indy...
 

Kris, glad to hear you"re coming back for the best time of the year. Dad and I will be going to Indy on Friday if you want to drive together.

Let me know if you want to come out to the garage to checkout the updates on the Falcon, let me know. Browell should be done with the new bellhousing by then.

Be safe.

There is a Country Hearth Inn just off of exit 28, about 2 miles from the track. Never stayed there but drive by it all the time, looks like a nice place. Also a brand new Super 8 just across the street.

Re: Coming home for Bowling Green and Indy...
 

I've stayed at the La Quinta on exit 22, practically new with very nice amenities. Think they have a good government rate for servicemen as well...

Re: Coming home for Bowling Green and Indy...
 

Thanks Jim and Brandon for the heads up I was able to get a room at the Courtyard Marriott. Hopefully that as nice as it looks on their website. They also have government rates and with me being a government contractor I was able to get the rate.

Kenny,
As of right now I'm planning on going up to Indy on Thursday for stock class and spending the night. If those plans change I'll let you know. I would like to check out the updates on the Falcon and see that new bell. Sounds pretty cool!
