Please make sure events in Michigan don't get set up like this.

Like you said, no point in trying to convince them...they have been doing it for 67 years like this. Why would they change it now?

I was just going to read & stay out of this, but Motown's math got me laughing....

05-30-2006, 10:44 PM - 59 years and no deaths, yet
Today, 01:18 AM - they have been doing it for 67 years like this

For Labor Day, I think we'll celebrate the 90th Anniversary of running there - I think by then, Indy merchandise will be discounted and we can have some 90th Ann. souvenirs available - just a Sharpie to write over Indianapolis and we're all set!

L98-by the way, thanks for the ride in that last session.

I was at 100 during the time trials I got it up to 113 but I think 120 is my goal.


Now that I've run some hot laps I say do away with them all together we don't need anyone else learning the track j/k in reality what would it hurt to have 1 hour of open track in the morning? Hell we didn't get started till around 10 anyways. You can't run without some experience so just open the track to those that want to test out thier cars & the track. Than have so open track at the end of the day

Tim,

It was my pleasure, any time. I hope I didn't scare you to much when we went 4 wheeling


Ken


See you in the Fall

More time available in the am is something we'll look at, even if it creates some less time in the pm. The flyer is due at the end of June, so we'll have a plan by then.

We have come a long way though since last May, where you got 3 parade laps in the am (and not before your timed runs either), then 3 timed runs in the am, 3 timed in the pm.

As far as the little "off", the wall was on your side, so I wasn't worried! Do you know how many laps total you got in during the afternoon? I'm just curious.

By the way, photos can be found at:
