well first off I have obviously asked the questions in the right place...!!!!
thank you all who have replied, the info and volume of it is great.. and exactly what I had hoped for...
I have been by terre haute during a trip to Eldora about 10 years ago.. (during the week)
other than that iv been by steve kinsers' shop in Bloomington, and been to ims.. what else would you guys (or gals) recommend??

thanks again...
