Hey folks I'm not officially there yet but we left earlier heading north! We drove part the way and will finish the trip in the morning. This year we decided to make a little vacation out of the event so after the race we are carrying the kids to Hershey Park for a few days.
The weather looks fantastic but a little hot but no precipitation in the forecast. Ken says there are already people rolling in and I can hardly wait till we get there. I'll be back tomorrow with more live reports as I know Ken will have little time to spare this weekend I plan to step up my coverage.

Good Luck to everyone going up to Numidia this weekend, hope to see a good turnout of racers support Ken & Tim. A lot of people asked for different events for big $$$ and Ken & Tim have provided a lot of different options to collect some cash. I just hope people support the independent type events because if they fade away nobody should complain.
Yes, Knoebels is an awesome place, not as many roller coasters if your one of those people but, some great ones with Twister, Phoenix & the new upside down one. The kids will love it if you go and I think it's 100% better than HP. You could also take them on tour...Knoebels, Dorney Park and HP....kids will be sooo tired they won't ask you "are we home yet" next week....lol |

Last minute but does anyone have a car I can drive? I hurt mine at Columbus and trying to get it fixed in time for Atco. Stocker isn't ready and the one I usually drive isn't available. I'll be there regardless doing interviews. Thanks.

Hi guys we're "almost" there! We've made a few stops along the way for various reasons and just taking our time. I can't tell you how nice it has been not to be in a rush.
This is the first time in about 5 years that I've taken a week or so away from work, my wife tells me the millennials call this a mental health wellness vacation but I like it. Anyway we should be there by 3 and after seeing some folks and visiting I'll get some pictures to post hopefully.

Also not sure if Ken posted it but, that area has some great food! So if you have a truck to get out I'd highly recommend some of these places I have found over the years, only issue is a lot of places close really early....like 6pm every night.
Big Dans BBQ - Attached to a general Store, also homemade beer inside, really good BBQ and if you get some racers together, he will throw a discount in and deliver to the track. www.bigdansbbq.com Ponduce Farms - Really good subs and market for other things https://www.ponducefarms.com/ Coal Dock Ice Cream - If you come in through Catiwissa, right before the giant hill on 42, really good ice cream parlor - http://coaldock.com/?utm_source=gmb&utm_medium=referral So if you go this weekend or next time you are there, some good places to grab a bite, the Pizza place right outside the track is also really good...Think it's called Numidia Pizza and Subs |
