Did you remember to pack clean underwear in case you have to go to the Hospital? I wouldnt want that to happen and have the Hospital staff think your nickname is "Skid Marx" I heard one of your racing family couldnt go to Knoxville,and the way I understand it,its the family member that helps you pack.....
PS tell Mailman you wanna go to the Speedway Motors museum on early Saturday morning. There is time to do both if you plan carefully...

There should be nothing but praise going to Knoxville, usac, and war for allowing such an event to take place for non wing cars. We don’t have a lot of crown jewel events that pay what they should and this is definitely a step in the right direction. With good crowd and driver support it will only get bigger. Appreciate what you are given don’t criticize what you can’t control.

Have fun & good luck with your health issues
Wish I could be there with you!
I sent you a PM asking about medical stuff, did you miss it?
PM me?
If you guys make the bonsi run to Lincoln and you like hot wings make your way to the "Watering Hole." I think there are 3 locations in Lincoln. They have the Best grilled hot wings by far I have ever eaten!

I’m disappointed that a couple other sanctions aren’t in on it, but I don’t want to debate that now. Having never been to the Sprint Car Capital of the World, this event has taken away my excuses for not going. Very much looking forward to it and will going west bright and early tomorrow. Looking forward to perhaps meeting a couple more of you and finally stepping foot on hallowed ground. My buddy Oppweld and myself will be there setting everyone straight about racing, music, and beer To everyone that’s not going to make it, I wish you all a fun and safe weekend. Happy Independence Day!
I have never been disappointed when stepping into the venue - or leaving.
Enjoy.
And.... Iowa usually has cheap gas prices. Kind of like "getting away" with something.
We’ve been looking forward to this race since it was announced. We just arrived in Iowa after a 9 hr drive and we will be there tomorrow and Saturday night. Everyone travel safely and enjoy the 4th of July!
To everyone that’s not going to make it, I wish you all a fun and safe weekend. Happy Independence Day!
