Yep, at this moment we're loadin' up the camper and headin' for the State Fair tomorrow. We haven't missed State Fair racing weekend in a very long time. Lookin' forward to going over to Mighty Macon for the POWERi show, too. Got our reservations for the Fairgrounds Campground, race tickets and plenty of food and beverage packed away. Gonna' do some white bass fishin' (among other things) on Lake Springfield as well. Oh yea, I look forward to this week all year.

On a different note, a very close friend of our family was 86 years old on August 4th and he hasn't missed a Champ Car race during the State Fair at Springfield since 1946. There have been a couple that were cancelled and a few that were rescheduled at a later date due to weather, I believe, but he's been in the grandstand for every one that they've run. If my math is correct this will be 65 years running.

Here's to hopin' all who make the trip to The Hallowed Ground of the Springfield Mile enjoy it as much as we always do!!
