    Just wondering who else will be going to Indy next weekend. We will be arriving Friday morning and going to the Schumacher open house to check out the Nostalgia Funny Car Cacklefest and hanging out at the track all weekend.

    Go check out the A/Nostalgia Dragsters driven by Scott Parks and Brian Darcy. They run in Comp Eliminator. Unbelievable engineering. Have a great time.

    I have been to every day of every one since 1988 (my first in the US was 1984) and have been as a crew member, journalist and a couple of times just as a fan. I also have a 20 year history at the Aussie Nats from 1968 until 1988 when I moved to this side of the big water.

    Last time I went to Indy, they still had cl***es for Top Gas, Gas Supercharged and Fuel Altereds. :eek: Since they dropped those, I don't care so much.
