Midwest Buick Challenge - 2009 Info

[Mrs. TurboLoyd]

Hi - We have the dates set - September 25 thru 27, at Osceola Dragway in Osceola, IN. I did arrange for a Buick night Friday night at the Simonton Lake Drive-In, like last year. Good food and lots of parking.

Just got the hotel set. We're staying at the Ramada Elkhart - again - 3011 Belvedere Road, Elkhart, IN 46514. Phone number is 574-262-1581. You need to use this code - CGCBCG/SMERF and it's under the Chicago Buick Club name. We have 25 rooms for Friday and Saturday nights, Sept. 25 & 26 and a few rooms for Thursday and Sunday nights. These rooms consist of either a king size bed or 2 double beds for $69. Not a bad price!

I was promised that the rooms have been rehabbed - new carpets, new linens and bedspreads, new mattresses, new drapes and sheers, etc. We drove around outside and yes, the outside is all spiffy. So we're giving them another shot. Plus the Bennigan's is still there and that was sooooo handy.

They are hanging onto the rooms until Sept. 10; after that it's an availability issue. So please call soon.

We're still hammering out other details so stay tuned!

Did they fix the track so it is not as bad as last year

Just stay out of the right lane There was a bump about 300ft out.

 

[turbocliff]

That wasnt a bump tom, that was the sonic BOOM from the white T in the other lane....

 

[Dwayne]

I don't know how long they will be able to let fast cars (10's and better) run the 1/4 there without the track getting some much needed attention.................might have to run 1/8's there in the near future.

 

[MAX PSI]

Do they have camping at the track?

 

[KevinB]

Do they have camping at the track?

They did last year but I do not recommend it. There is a rail yard that is next door that operates all night long. It was hard to sleep.

 

[Sam Colalillo]

Do they have camping at the track?

They do not normally allow camping at this track. The loop hole is: they will allow you stay with your trailer for security reasons overnight. Yes you can bring that gleaming Freightliner and big trailer to the track and spend the night.


Kevin is correct, the rail yard is very near by. I bet it is really loudd when you pass out on an open car trailer after drinking Budweiser all night:biggrin: :biggrin:

I would trade 2 gleaming Freightliners for 1 gleaming Kenworth but thats another story.

Now I see it was the Flier giving a few Turbobuick.com users fits, therefore added a pdf version as well as the xps version. When I upgraded to Windows 7, Adobe Writer was lost, so was trying the feature to create xps files. Now found that "Open Office" includes a pdf writer so can create pdf files again.

For information on xps viewers for Windows XP see:

or for Vista or Windows 7 users see:

What is the XPS Viewer? - Windows Vista Help

Hope to see you all at Jimmy's car show this weekend and at the Midwest Buick Challenge in September.

Have made some updates:
