Another thought since it's a days drive back to Toronto we thought we should leave Sunday morning some time. How important is it to stay till the end of the show? We could likely stay later if we should.
I see there is a 7pm dinner too, looks like I should have planned another day!! I guess we'll learn from this year.
Is the Speedway gas stop at Lima the one on Lincoln Hwy?
Love my T/A :)

What no cars !!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, Ricky -- I haven't had a chance to do much on mine this year, and on my way back from a show in May it developed a bad "flat spot" in the power around 3000 RPM.  A few days after that my mother went into the hospital for surgery and didn't get home until the end of July.  I only received one piece I was waiting on today -- no time to put it in the car for the show! :(

I think you're right.  He was on TAC a while ago, and posted about leaving.  I told him it was next weekend.  Hope he sees it before he leaves!

I'm driving in from Indianapolis with Milly on Friday morning, leaving the Bob Evans in Brownsburg around 9 AM.  We'll be catching I-65 to I-70 and then eastbound from there.  We'll be in my 2002 Avalanche, however, as neither of us has had any time to spend on our cars this past year... :-\

Rick, we should be coming through Indianapolis sometime Friday morning but I don't know exactly when. If it's around that time, we'll be looking for you. I can't tell you what vehicle we'll be in until we pick it up early Thursday morning at the rental place. All I know is a full size (Pontiac Grand Prix or similar). lol ;D
