I don't use GPS or phone maps. Hell, my speedometer doesn't even work. I use the tach. I do it the old way - look at a map, remember a road or two, then hit it.

I could not FIND the damn place! I knew it was NE of Medaryville proper, but holy crap, there was nothing but tall cornfields. I took a big rectangular route around NE of town. Nothing. Then I saw the water tower for town and headed that way. Stopped at a gas station/mini-mart and asked a few people in there how to get to Shadyhill Speedway. They looked at me like I was from Mars. The teenage girl behind the counter never heard of it.

Then this one girl in her mid-to-late 20s came in and was buying some ice. I asked her if she was local and she said she was. I asked her for help and she then gave me perfect directions to the track.

Always appreciate a good adventure.

Woke up this morning to find my rear brake line leaking. That would not have been a good adventure.

Cool place, though. Enjoyed the night and the racing.
