Sounds great Fred, If you need a place to rest and shower, you can stop by the house. I am not too far off the interstate!

 

I got the new bearings, brakes and tires on my trailer last night so that's one less thing to worry about!!! I'm gonna bring a couple of old tires i've got mounted on some old rims, whoever is brave enough can slap them on and do us a BIG burnout!!!!!!!

 

I just went on mapquest and it says to take 75 North toward lexington.....it also says it will take about 8 hrs, does that sound right??

 

8 hours seems long, was thinking it took 4 hours to the smokies in Tenn. and 12-14 hours to Florida from Louisville KY. Amazed the map software doesnt take you on up 75 to Cinc. Ohio then 75 to Interstate 70 west into Indiana.

 

Forgot....make sure you throw in your tuning and timing tools so you can tune my car also

 

Thanks for the offer, John, but I will probably be in good shape by the time we hit KY.

I think those who will be able to convoy together ought to arrange a time/place and exchange numbers.

 

MaverickRunner, what time was you planning on leaving? I know your are going to drag race, so if you can figure out what time we need to meet in Scottsburg, have time for lunch and get to New Castle I would appreciate it.

 

Well the racing starts at 5:00pm. I am guessing here, it takes about 1 1/2 (in a car) from Scottsburg to Indy, Indy to New Castle about 30 minutes. I checked this with Mappoint and it says total 2 hrs and 7 minutes. So my guess with pulling a trailer its going to take 2 1/2 hours from Scottsburg to the HOTEL. I think Craig said that the track is 30 minutes north of the motel.

So I am guessing if we meet in Scottsburg at 12:00 pm (SLOW TIME), I think New Castle is slow time also, this will give us some time. Should make the motel by 3:30 TO 4:00 PM at the latest. We can get checked in at the motel and the be at the dragstrip by 5:00 pm. IF anyone thinks this is cutting it to close then we can meet at a differnet time. May want to meet at 12:00 anyways for time to eat.

Fom coming from the south into Scottsburg exit on State Route 56 and go west or left. We can meet in Wal-marts parking lot and then walk to a place to eat. There is Wendys,McDonalds and a few other places right there.

Let me know what you think of this......

Maverick5946 are you racing this Saturday 6/21 ath Ohio Valley? I was thinking of coming down to watch the street cars (wish I could run with them).

I would want to leave the hotel at 4:00pm Indiana (Slow) Time. That gives us plenty of time to get to the track, get pulled in, pay, unload, and RUNNUN 'EM!!!

 

4:00pm Indiana (Slow) Time

Craig, is your "slow" time the same as Eastern time?

 

Fortunately it's Central time.

 

MaverickRunner,

I got stuck at the exit you are describing in Scottsburg on my way up last year with a trailer isssue. It took me 3 hrs. to drive from their to New Castle. However, the bypas ss outside of INDY was closed down and I had to hit 70 in Indy (which addd quite a bit of time to my trip).

My point is that we should plan for a little time buffer in case traffic or some other circumstance creeps up.

 

Fortunately it's Central time

So, it's an hour behind Eastern Daylight Savings time? Why was it refered to as "slow"?
