This is great news! Lower ticket prices. Just that little bit later in June for warm weather! The race is scheduled for June 18-19.

INDYCAR
One thing jumped out at me though. I could have rented The Mile for $20,000? That is all it took?

of IndyCar & The MKE Mile
Indy is back - at The Mile! YES. There is an announcement scheduled for tomorrow. IndyCar is returning to the Milwaukee Mile in June of 2011. The race will not be the traditional weekend following Memorial Day, but I'll take it. The rumored late June date will probably be better weather-wise. I remember standing in freezing rain and sleet for an IndyCar race one June. Summer usually starts in Wisconsin the next week.

of Pine, Plastic, & Far Flung Places
This summer's travels took us west to Bear's Lodge and east of Wooster.
One week after our trip west to South Dakota and Wyoming we made a spur of the moment decision to head to Mid-Ohio for the ALMS race.
I should have known that the intersection of US HWY 30 and I-69 might not have been the best place to stop for sleep at 1:30am with my 3 boys. I was getting tired & I promised myself that I'd stop at the next truck stop or McDonald's for a nice well lit parking lot to sleep in for an hour or so before we drove on. When I got to the first Fort Wayne exit and it featured a truck stop and a McDonald's I gave thanks to St Christopher and pulled off the road. I'm not sure what I saw what transacting in the McD's parking lot across from the TWO gentlemans clubs, but I was positive that it would not look good to have a story in the news about me, Brandy's, & a car load of kids. It turns out that Good Chris would have to carry me a bit farther down the road. He did. We slept for a few hours in a clean Ohio rest area.
Partially rested we spent the day at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course watching IndyCar qualifying and the ALMS race. Fabulous track! It is a beautiful facility. I took something like 2400 pictures, turned a bright hue of red, and we had a BLAST. I would definitely return.
Our 8th annual pinewood derby and summer picnic was held. There were 12 kids entries, 6 adults, 4 entires for Formula Unlimited, and 1 flame juggler. Brats, sunshine, little pine race cars, I don't think it could have been a better day. Oh but it could get better. The after-party included pizza, a Hannah Montana dance off, & Slots of Fun.
Speaking of slot cars, I finished my Speed Racer Mach 5 as an SCXd car. It has probably been 6 years since my boys gave me that snap together model as a gift. After a combination of procrastination and planning she has finally taken to the track.
