Only long enough to carve Ted loves Nascar on the bathroom wall at Florabama . Also caught a few beads at the Pensacola Beach Mardi Gras Parade and got to meet Marcia Ball at that great bar by the wharf at Pensacola Beach.Never saw a Panama Hat though. Perhaps I should have checked out the lawn bowling .:D

The great bar by the "pier" at P'cola Beach is the Dock and if you didn't see any Panama Hats then you were in the Dock too long, even the convenience stores sell them.
 
I'm the guy in the Panama Hat on the Maid Of The Mist boat in the first picture. It's one helluva good time up here, err oh uh, I'm busted, yep I'm having a blast.

I can just make out the chapeau about 2/3 of the way back along the rail. Looks like you are thinking about ElDora with DPK. There was a guy walking accross on a wire above your head , but you can't see him now. He's gone.
 
We are doing the Canadian side tomorrow.
 
Bloomquist.... prompts more than a few questions. Can he do this without making threats towards his crew? Can he do this without having soaked/treated tires? Can he pass a drug test?
 
Just a heads up. Tony Stewart is doing his SiriusXM Radio show from the track on Monday night. I am not sure if it is open to the public or not. I'd imagine that he'd want to be but keep an ear out for it if you're there Monday night.

Another heads up for you camping at the track. I was told by someone that has camped there for their larger events that they are charging $1/gal to fill your RV water tank. I find that very hard to believe but seeing as I've never been to Eldora I can't confirm or deny it. If that is true then that's an outrageous price. I was told by their camping contact that they do not have a spigot where you can fill upon your arrival. Fill that tank before you get there. I called the Walmart in Celina and was told that I could fill for free at their lawn/garden department. That's a pretty good deal and only about 20 miles from the track. Also, in Celina, their local fairgrounds will allow you to fill your tank on your way through. $5 to fill there. That is absolutely worth the price. It is only about 18 miles from the track.

I have had everything packed and ready to go since last Saturday. I have to add ice and drain the damn coolers twice a day. ;)

I bought a mini fridge hoping to use that but I see that the generators need to be down during the late evening hours. I probably can't keep the adult beverages at the right temp if I have to turn it off at night. Looks like I'll be renting ice as well. :(

The company that fills the water tanks is from an off site campground. If I remember correctly, they charge $10 to fill a water tank. I believe they also provide waste services.

Ice is worth its weight in gold for some reason.

Your number sounds more like my experiences at every other track that I've been to. I've got a 120 gal tank and there will be six of us.

Wait a minute..... waste services too? Not at the same time, right? o_O

Yes, you can't go wrong renting ice.

Are you saying that you have never taken a cold one to the Porto-potty?

What goes in must come out...

That I've done..... many times. What I haven't done though is have the truck that emptied my holding tank fill my water tank. You have to draw the line somewhere. ;)

I pulled up the regulations which stated "Generators are allowed however "courtesy" quiet time is 1:30 AM to 6:30 AM" HOWEVER I called and asked and was told by the camping coordinator (937-338-3815) that the Honda Inverter Series of Generators are allowed to run around the clock because of their low decibel levels. Happy times are here again. :D:D:D:cheers:
 
This is highway robbery. I called my racing bud and told him about WalMart.

No doubt that Johali will beat me there. I'm traveling with two women, my wife and daughter. He only has one to slow him down. ;)

Wait, did I just say that out loud? :D
