Just wondering if anyone on the board here is doing Osky on Aug. 10th and/or 11th? Always a fun time in the fair city of Osky! If any Indianaites ,, or Ohioites,are headed that way on US 34 into Iowa the Sin City of Gulfport IL.(before you cross into IA), has one bar back open after last years all summer flood,,,. If you break down somewhere close to the Iowa /Illinois border PM, me I'll come and bail ya out!
Rollcall,,,?

Me = 1

Take Care,
BC

Wouldn't miss it,good times every year.
Knoxville, Sunday night, for the inaugural Non-Wing Nationals,could be a big step for the future of non-wing racing,kicking off the Nationals every year,could turn into the premier non-wing race.(if all goes well?)
Osky Monday for the Party.
Osky Tuesday for the Race.
Little Belleville on Wed for both.

Duke's right. The family restaurant is really good. There is also a little diner on the main drag near the turnoff to the track that has been good throughout the years. Can't remember its name. Haven't been to Tasos but I will try it this year. Thanks Duke.

Went out to Osky a few years ago on a last minute deal and because all other hotels were booked, stayed at the Red Carpet. If you like crickets walking around in the bathroom then its for you. But, its better than not going at all.

This was the year the non-wing was rained out tuesday and also due to rain the wing cars monday did not hot lap until 11pm or so I think. That was one wild and crazy infield that night....was way toooo much fun. After a few beers and the speed of the wings on the tacky track, it was hard to even focus on them LOL. I guess by the time we got back to the hotel I could have cared less about the quality.

After the rainout tuesday, we ordered pizza and it was some of the best I have ever had. Wish I could tell you guys from where but I don't remember.
