Not only did I buy tickets, Tim. I bought them 1 at a time. For Marv's benefit, of course. :thumb:

Another 'burg routine of mine is, as soon as I sign in, I head for the pits to write down the lineups, etc. Most always I waint until the sprint heats are over before having a cheeseburger (or 2, Dave). Usually I go out to the old truck for a 1 man tailgating party, unless itsanonwingthing and/or Tim Caldwell join me. :thumb:

The Bloomington/Gas City/Haubstadt, etc. routine is not that different.

1 more thing: when a guy flips, I usually say...well, never mind. It's an expression of dismay. I am concerned that the driver is okay, and also realize that somebody has a car to fix. :crying:
