"Live" from Indy 2014 60th US Nationals
We are still in Bowling Green, but I am sure someone is there and can give us an update on "what's happening"!
Ok, Boss, are you there yet? I saw where Jack had to withdraw, so looks like it is up to us this week! |

All sitting on the staging lanes. Not sure when tomorrow the pitting starts. Lots of air conditioners going. And I'm sure lots of cold beer being drank for reasons of being hydrated! I'm guessing maybe 80-90 rigs here.

Hi Patsy,
I'm not there yet, I hope to be at Indy tomorrow night. I wanted to be there today, but it just did not work out for me to leave this morning. |

Yo, Ken!
We are testing here in Bowling Green tomorrow and then trying to get our generator on our motorhome fixed on the way to Indy. Hope to be there tomorrow night if all goes well. Patsy |

Re: "Live" from Indy 2014 60th US Nationals
SoAfter a meal of deer stew with the winners, Dog and Puppy, we age done for the evening. Plan on leaving about noon for Indy. Will probably watch some testing while getting ready to leave. Blew up two Pro Trans TH350 this weekend, one of my long time employees brought us a pickup load of Pro Flites, and then knocked a piston our of a SS V10, so it is parked. Ms. Wilkes, my Inventory Manager told me we should get at least 10 cases of beer in KY as Indy will only let you buy 3 cases. So that is done. Looking forward to Indy. More as the day progresses.

We're leaving for Indy to spectate and enjoy the festivities, does anyone know of a good hotel motel 25miles away from the track? Patsy keep up the great work, I think Ken should double your salary.lol Good luck to everyone.

Re: "Live" from Indy 2014 60th US Nationals
We typically stay in Plainfield, which is about a 20 minute drive to the track. There are several places right along Interstate 70....Holiday Inn Express, Hampton, Baymont, Wingate, Super 8, Extended Stay America, LaQuinta, etc. Can't wait for the races! We are coming in late Wednesday night and will be watching the action on Thurs, Fri and Sat.

Re: "Live" from Indy 2014 60th US Nationals
Sitting in line at Indy at #194. We are in the normal staging area, in the grass. It is very steamy with a slight breeze if you get away from the lines. Just saw local forecast, the weather looks better than we originally thought. This is the first week end in the 90 degrees since last year this time and there will be showers but not a wash out. Happy 60th Indy to all.
