Glad to hear you're doing well physically,.& like you,..I also hope
the economy recovers.
Have you ever been to a mile flatrack?
That is grass-roots American racing at it's best. I like the half miles
& all,.but the miles are really something to see!!!
If things [do] get better for you,.try for the Moto-GP @ Indy next
year. It's only what 800 or so miles?......& trust me it's worth it!!

I haven't seen one of those but it sounds like it would be fun. My
grandson is 10 so I hope to introduce him to some of this soon. He's a
budding gear-head among whose first attempts at words were
"Vroom-vroom!" (what he used to call my bike). I owe myself a good
vacation so maybe I'll start planning to head out to Indy next year.

Hot tip on parking if you're not riding:
Park in the lot that extends from the end of N Rybolt Ave, just south
of the track. Get the $20 weekend pass (just Sunday costs $20
otherwise). Before the race, traffic on W10th is easy for getting in.
After the race, police make W10th one way with no cross access
and you'll be on I-65 in less than 10 minutes, including getting out
of the lot.
Also, the AMA dirt track Saturday night is a way better race
than anything else MotoGP weekend.
Go fast. Take chances.

I tend to agree Mike.about the mile being the better ?... but the GP
is something to see as well. When they hit the end of the straight at
200+ mph, & head into turn one,..man-o-man !!!
I think allot of folks were surprised this year when Bryan Smith on a
Kawasaki won the mile!!.@ Indy....& then he backed it up with a win at
the Springfield mile.
As for parking?...if you're riding I suggest the American Legion lot
on Georgetown Rd. It's not as quick out as you describe the other place
but it is secure,..& very handy to the track. It's right across the
street from the front straight grandstands,..& there is a gate right
there.
After the race they run G/town Rd one way south ,..it took us maybe
30-45 minutes wait,then it cleared out & they let ya go north if ya
want.
