US Nats at Indy!!!!! Anyone going? Sure do wish I was there!!!!!!!!

We're headed to the "Big Go East" in about a week. Another forum I'm on has been getting together at midwest race tracks once a summer for the last 8 yrs. This year we're going to Bud's Creek for a change (dubbed The Big Go East by us). We're going early so we can stop off at Gettysburg, then we're stopping by the Smithsonian and Arlington & a few other tourist type places. Then for the weekend we're heading to the track for the 5th Annual Legends at Budds Creek – Sept. 13-14/and our 9th Annual DragList Nats.

I won't be going. I'm still tying up loose ends for our show next weekend.

US Nats / Indy - that's a bucket list item for certain!!

Maybe I need to get it higher on the list???

I miss the Indy race!!! I grew up 90 miles from there, and went every year from '62 to '74, when I moved to the Southwest.

Those were great times, and you have to appreciate that Indy is STILL thought of as the biggest and most exciting event of all!

I have even noticed that more pros seem to show up for this than any other events.

I see my boy Del went #1 in the first session. :-)

Indy --
An Event Worthy To Be Called Its Own

Traxxas Shootout, qualifying, and some of the final rounds from the rainout at Brainard on today

Sarge just went 3.767---could be a really good weekend, think a win and he beats Glidden for US Nats wins???????

Way Kewl!!!! Big re-enacting the beard shaving deal at Indy!!!!! What a racer!

Just tuned in.. Courtney won.

No------------John beat Robert in the Shoot out---

No, I meant when I tuned in, Courtney had just won the round..

Oh, sorry-------------

I was at the starting line standing about 20 feet from Garlits when he shaved the beard! ...but I don't think he will remember me. {:-)

I had a photographer trying to push past me. I later saw a picture... I think in Car Craft ...of him shaving, and the back of my head to one side of the picture. LOL!

Did they say why he was losing the beard?
