With gas at 3.50 a gallon, I can fill my tank up for around 40-45$. Summer time I can drive around 425-450 miles on a tank of gas. The Cobalt usually gets around 36-38mpg in the summer so yup... 20$ for 170 miles is easily obtainable for me.

I'd buy a case of beer put 7 bucks in the gas tank and head to Gas City,Putnamville or Kokomo,who needs food let's have a beer picnic:32:

Go to Butler Speedway. $12 Admission, $8 on the beer and food I am bringing in, and then turn around and do it the next week.

Sitting with my good bud, Lou, both times.

I know how you feel. Some day I'm going to make Indiana my home.

Knoxville Raceway for me, 45 miles so 4 gallons of gas should do it and $15 weekly tickets. That leaves money to get some good BBQ right across from the Hall of Fame with enough money to buy one beer at the track.

I really envy those who have mutliple choices as Knoxville is the only sprint car track close enough to do for $40, even if it is the Sprint Car Capital of the World.

I am with others in that someday I would love to live in Indiana and enjoy non-wing racing all summer long!

You won't even have to trade with me. Just pack up and move to Indiana as there are plenty of places to live that offer you this wonderful opportunity.:D

I thought I had that arranged once, but Mr. Caterpillar suddenly had other ideas................ :7:

But I'm still hoping to :26: Illinois Gov. Quinn and Sen. Dick Durbin as I leave this @#$%^& state before the only move left for me is to a nursing home :42::

We would welcome you with open arms Steve. I made that move over 40 years ago and haven't been disappointed yet. Daniel Walker was the Governor of Illinois then.:3: He was one of 4 governors who ended up in prison for various crimes committed during or shortly after their terms in office. That string might not be over with yet.:15:
