Adger -

We got a hotel room at America's Best Value Inn. 1 mile or so from the race track. Racers rate I believe was $45 per night. Number is 918-438-5050. Have no idea if it is nice or not.

Thanks Ed..
Yes I'm planning on it. If my health keeps improving and the round of tests on the 23 are good .I'll be there. It's been too long since I had a "FIX"
The A/fuel deal is a "Real FIX, TOO" I was able to be at Red River last weekend with the team to test.... OH Boy!!!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hope to be able to see some of you guys there.

Not nearly as humid as Houston, Not being used to that humidity I sweat like a pig when I go there. Don't think I could live there. Guess you get used to it.

Now the website shows gates opening Tuesday at 6:00 pm. Haven't talked to anybody in person about it since Thursday.
Seems strange, but that is what they said, and put on the TRP website.

Michael, I drove past that one on the way to the track yesterday afternoon. Looks nice, it's about 600' closer to the track than the best Western.
Mine is still not fixed. Went 10.50 yesterday, last year in 3500' air it ran high 20s to low 30s. Might not even run this one either. Very embarrassing. I've replaced everything I can think of. Out of ideas. 125 MPH, should have been 128. Real slug.

I stayed at that America's Best Value when I ran at Tulsa a few years back. Don't remember there being anything wrong with the place. Super close, cheap, and the lady was very nice as I recall. I would definitely go back.

We planned on being there, but the car has developed a nasty driveline vibration. Hate missing close ones. Good luck.

BTW - We were going to be there, but there's a Jahova's Witness conference there and all the hotel rooms are taken, a least that's what I was told. Everyone get rooms???

Mike, I just checked rooms for Tulsa, Comfort Inn airport, Comfort Suites airport, Econo Lodge airport, all have room. Tom
