This week at the track,,,,,,,INDY!!!!! baby...........

This week we are loaded down and ready to head north to the city of Indianapolis for a weekending camping trip and to watch the 500 race at the Speedway........I am sure the weather will be great, the food fantastic, the goofing off extraordinary and the race spectacular!!!!!!!!!! I am dreaming of what those sausages are gonna taste like Thursday evening coming off the campsite grill.............Gonna saute' green peppers and onions for hoagies, just like dad used to make....................Won't be on the intardnets for the rest of the week, so I will be right here next week with loads of new stories and pictures.............Here is a list of whats goings on around the track this week..........


I want to thank a dear friend Greg for setting me up in the best seats in the place for the fifth year............I know one thing, IF I don't use these seats , I will use others, this place is one great race track to see..........Thanks Greg.........
