Have you received any info on Hotels yet? Know of any in the main area? It seems like you said you visited the track before...you must have stayed at a local hotel. Was it good?

BG was over $7k/day and no openings until later in October...many others looked at and priced...KCIR is the only SANE choice!

SLVRLTNG · 10-20-2004, 11:42 PM

KCIR is only 1911 miles from home. Maybe you'll need more than one long distance trophy for us NW guys

Thanks for another chance to make L fest. It would take the most unforeseeable adventure to keep me away. on the good new for the few that might remember me and my accident of '99 I recently got all the metal (Illizarov) taken off my right leg after 5 years and am into a cast that I am not supposed to be walking on (yea right after 5 years of not walking) So now they tell me a year or so of rehab to build up muscle ( I am just worried about my right leg/foot for the gas peddle) Hahahahaha
