Default Re: Indy Truck Show 2011

Jim - Scott -

For the most part this has come from discussions with several regular attendees - but of course not all but especially Ric. As typical the city is for us to decide. I have talked the key people who have the 'big' items like bridges. The only bridge coming is Rics. Therefor it seemed logical to make it center stage. With the increasing number of construction equipment and little opportunity for hopper fillers it seemed likely to have a master pit and multiple small pits. Throw in the ever increasing number of trucks that are mostly parked (can only drive one at a time) and we tend to have a cramped set up. So I thought larger parking stretches with adjoining roads would give a nice presentation up front to the crowd with the activity just behind it and the drivers all the way in the back. This also keeps the pushy pedestrian out of the city.

As for the original question - it's just a plan - can always be changed.

For those wondering why I am leading - well let's just say I didn't step back with the rest of the group at the time.

Scott - what ya think? Or do we like all the curvy roads under the bridge?
