Wanting to hold the steering wheel straight and sleep for just one mile on I-70 or wherever I might be at the time just to catch up on sleep....etc etc.... Trying to go to as many races as possible each year. Thats why I moved to Indy....I didnt move here from one of the most scenic States in the Country to look at corn growing!

Need more??
Yes, are you driving that van down to East Bay? If so, whats it look like so I know who is while By most scenic state do you mean New Jersey?

I'm hoping to hit 331 shows, one each day for the rest of the year, but realistically I expect to make around 30.

Instead of "working man's" class, how about "pro" & "amateur"?
Pro for those who don't have to pay for their own ticket (photogs, track workers, push truck drivers, sanctioning body staff & some race crew members).
Amateur for those who have to PERSONALLY pay at the gate.

No to early in the season and the Florida schedule and my work schedule dont mix right now. I see most of my races during the summer.

If you think New Jersey is scenic,you need new glasses!!:2::2::2:

Good idea,and better wording than I used. Should have 3 different groups I am thinking

1 Pro - Doesnt pay to get in
2 Tired- Works for a living and goes racing as often as possible.Often without much sleep in between
3 Retired- Rather self explanatory

The I spose we should have a section just on beer drinkers.

1 Who can drink the most Bud
2 Who drinks the most imported beer (From Pa. aka Dingaling beer)
3 Who can drink the most beer while standing on their head.

Things like that:2::2::2::2:

Most Bud, would have to go with Budman on that one. As for New Jersey, most scenic, because everyone drives through it and doesn't stop. Aero definitely deserves some kind of award, what that would be I am not exactly sure, maybe most sprint car tattoos.
