In case some of you didn't know where the thread was go here.

Notable things.

Truck pull will be earlier in the day rather than the typical real late

LaQuinta under remodel, book at main hotel or close by.
Restaurant out front of laquinta still open.

Booked at Quality Inn a couple doors down for 3 nights what it costs at Marriott for 1 night. It's a very nice hotel but man it's pricey!

It seems that things have changed at the Indy conference hotel, the old Laquinta. I just called and booked a room for Thursday Friday and Saturday nights for 80. Dollars and change (AAA Discount) The lady that took my reservation said they still have plenty of rooms available, not sure why it was posted that they were booked. If you still need rooms or want to move closer call them. 1-317-359-1021.

Are we all getting the itch for Indy? If you have never been feel free to ask some questions.

We typically get to start setting up early evening of Thursday.
Whoever is there to help set up helps decide on the layout.
We run until about 2am or so.
We start next morning around 8 am
The room is locked down by security and remains locked until they open it for us.
Guys typically group together for meals, so no reason to eat alone.
We can run the halls (encouraged) during the show.
Convoys in encouraged.
We pack up noon Sunday.

If we don't have a truck or equipment running yet, will there be much of a chance to get to run someones spares?

Is it more truck or construction setup, or pretty even split?

What would we need to do to help with setup thurs night?

I have a dump truck that's pretty dummy-proof now thanks to Izzy. If someone asks nice I probably wouldn't mind handing them the keys.

Pretty even split, either is able to have a good time and play all weekend.

**** bring your projects. We always need something to keep Izzy occupied.

I'll be there all day Saturday along with my girlfriend and her son. I'm bringing my KW with its reefer trailer, the needle nose Peterbuilt that I just finished with the lowboy and Combine and my newest project, a Peterbilt rat rod.
