Going to Circle City for my 168th different speedway,and more importantly, arriving back home without getting hit by any rocks.

Going to Fairbury Illinois a week or so later for my 169th different speedway.

My neighbor growing up in Maine came out to visit on Labor Day weekend and we went to Gas City where the winner won from 9th,and I thought that was a decent night of racing. I hadnt been there since after Jiggs was there and the next promoter was going to run sprints and midgets every night and time trial them every week. The first night I didnt get home till 1:30 am,and decided I couldnt do that all the time after getting up up for work at 4am back then. I used to go there about every week before then.

We also went to Kokomo on Sunday night after Haubstadt rained out. I was originally going to take him there,as he's been to Kokomo before. LPS rained out on Saturday night,along with any place else for plans b and c etc etc.

We also had a busy weekend doing car stuff. His parents took me to the races with them when I was a kid,and he and I have always liked cars too. His dad had Studebaker wagons when we were young,so we went to the Studebaker Museum in South Bend one day then a cruise in at Cruz Pedregon's shop that night. Went to Auburn for the Auburn Cord Duesenburg festival on Friday and Saturday and stopped at Gas City on the way home. Went to a couple festivals with car shows on Sunday before going to Kokomo,and Monday we went to 3 more car shows,with one of them at Mt Lawn Speedway.

When I dropped him off at the airport Tuesday morning before I went to work he wanted to know how many miles we went,and we went 1350 miles that weekend in my 37 Buick Coupe. It likes to cruise at 80 mph,so thats the speed it went most of the weekend !
