We left Maryland at 6:45 am. We had a great and uneventful trip, The radar traps were brutal in all states. Seems lately thats all the smokeys have to do. Diesel fuel cost $280.00 for the 630 mile trip, we saw fuel prices from $4.29 to $4.79 (sick) no wonder car counts are down at the races. The farther west we traveled the higher prices got the only exception was the Flying J just before Indy which was $4.29. We arrived in Indy around 5:30 pm going straight to the fairgrounds. We were greeted by very friendly and courteous staff who showed us where to unload, register and park. Registration went smoothly until Jerry had to sign over the title and he started to have heart palpatations. (LOL). He said it was like taking a family member to their funeral. The car is parked to the left front side across from the stage for viewing and is slated to be the last "TV Star" car to go off on live tv at approximately 4.55 pm Saturday.
Tomorrow at 9:00 am bidder viewing begins.
