"Live" from Topeka!

Larry Hill · 05-28-2009, 09:10 AM

At least we will be there in a couple of hours. We drove last night to just east of Kansas City in a horrific thunderstorm for over half the way. Fun! Fun! Cars were even pulling off to the side of the road, which is where I would have been had I been driving a car. It's amazing how much better you can see in a big truck.

We stayed in a Wal-mart in Oak Grove, MO last night. When Larry went out to make his Wal-mart run this morning, he met the people in the motorhome next to us. They were from Germany and pulling gliders. They were doing a world tour where they competing for points in gliding. Now that's cool! There are competitors everywhere for most anything!

This morning we visited a very nice Blue Beacon truck wash where we ate breakfast in our motorhome while it was being washed. Now that was cool, too. (It doesn't take much to amuse me!)

Last night driving thru MO I never saw the likes of "Adult" video, lingerie, toys stores and Fireworks stores! It's a wonder Bob Shaw, Brad Van Lant, and Fred Suiter ever find time to venture outside the state!!

Hey, rumor has it that Paula Cotten and her people from QT are going to be running a golf cart around the pits giving away coffee and donuts like the track was doing a couple of weeks ago in Norwalk!!

Well I am missing all the beautiful views this morning on the Kansas Turnpike while I am sitting back here typing.

So more later!

A friend of mine is running his Super Comp dragster at Topeka. He said they are charging $50.00 per day to hook up to their electricity. Can you feel the enhancement?

Last year for the Div race it was $50 for the weekend

$50 for the weekend that sounds like a good deal to me I guess you expect the track to pay your electricity bill so you can be on the internet and watch your satelite tv. Rv camps will charge you double for one night.

$50.00 for the weekend is very fair. If in fact it is $50.00 per day that is not fair.

Even $50.00 for the weekend sounds like a bit much just for electric .............maybe if they included cable -- sewer -- water etc .
