I guess I'm coming to Cloverdale and bringing my truck. I'll be entered in 2 different classes. This will give me 4 pit passes, and i believe i'm in need of only 1, so i have 3 up for grabs. They are free for the taking, just let me know who wants them.

sean

What classes did you decide to enter?

Sean, welcome to Indiana its good to have you pulling with us, hopefully we can get the guys on this message board together during this pull so we can put faces with names, if you need help with anything during your stay just let us know. Walt

Funny thing... his pickup will have to ride with two tractors to get there. I know my parents and my brother had a great time at Gordyville (other than the temperature!), so they are looking forward to another trip back east. Who knows? It could happen more!

Hope to see all you out of state guys there. Walt

pry have to fold one of them in half, but we'll make em fit. Greg told me i might not have to ride in the truck for 1200 miles...... i hear you're interested in going along too..... i have to say.... i'll miss the stories from your dad, but i'm sure we'll find something to talk about.

Flights from Denver to Indy are pretty cheap on Frontier. About $150 rountrip per person. I'm looking at my schedule to see what I can do-may even take the kids with me. I'd like to go, but it would be for Friday and Saturday only.

Gee Sean dont you need a pit guy to help you out lol. Wish i could go watch.

Looks like you're not running in our class's, oh well I'm sure we'll still have plenty of time to BS.

Alan

Also looking at Diamond, MO's Outlaw pull. He might need a pit crew there, too!

My boys will be busy helping Grandma get her tractor ready. That's why they want to go to Cloverdale.

when i talked to greg, he said he thought you'd go wed morning...... guess i'll ride in the truck, been there done that for many miles...... besides, i get kinda cranky in planes when i can't drive.

buck up and go, wooda coulda shoulda is way too common.

Think i could follow you down there?

OK well if i could 2 passes from someone ill take off for whatever dates this is. I follow ya down there. I need to get out and have some fun anyway.

follow, i'll ride with you... take a plane.... whatever...... it's a freebie ir you want..... i'll donate one of my passes to you, i'll have 3 spares...... if glen is going, i'll offer 2 to him and 1 to you.

sean

k, sean do you know how many miles it is to cloverdale?

nm, :whistles: Its 1,050 miles Ill have to fill up about 3 maybe 4 times to get there in my truck. What day would we leave and what day will we be back?

Frosty, its just over 1,066 miles from Mitchell to Cloverdale one way. That's why I'm going to catch a plane.

hmmm you are very wise Glen

OK IM A GO! When i asked for a week off in march, i was actually encouraged to take some vacation(been workin close to 60 hours a week since december). I think im going to give you a call tomorrow sean to get all the details.

we'll be leaving tuesday evening, and getting back sunday

a day and half driving?

i'll ride with you and share the driving duties if you wish

sean

Ok, sweet deal. So we will leave on the 10th and be back on the 15th correct?

that's affirmative

Its a go! My tickets are purchased and the rental car reserved. I'm going to bring Kyle and Kaleb so Grandma has a full pit crew for her tractor.

Sounds like a Reddog reunion in the makings here! We've got folks coming from the East and West, and I believe we're gonna have some boys coming up from Kentucky and Tennessee. Hey maybe we can get them boys to bring up some white lightning, LOL. Uncle Jesse says it burns real good in the truck. LOL

AP

Alan what day's are you coming down (and or) are you staying in Cloverdale or are you driving to and from the house? We are driving back to the house each day. Is anybody else from ITPA coming? Walt

Sounds like my girlfriend is coming with me sean she will ride in the back seat. Hopefully i can scrounge from someone. Or if all else fales with just get tickets to watch in the stands.

Frosty/Sean...
The kids and I are going to use Greg's pit passes since he has 4. We'll be there for Friday's and Saturday's events.

Sounds like its going to be a great time. It will be fun to meet the people who we've met on this site.

Do you guys have hotel reservations? i need to find out if i need to make some.

I am staying in Plainfield, about 30 miles away. Its near the Indianapolis airport (since we are flying in and I'll have a rental car).

In Cloverdale, there are the following hotels:
Days Inn - $60 one bed, $70 two beds
Holiday Inn Express - sold out
Super 8 - sold out
Motel 6 - sold out

Plainfield has a lot of hotels and none of them showed up as sold out. However, rates range from $90 - $120 there.

If you need help with rooms, I could see what I can do. Just let me know.
Thanks.
Glen

Thanks Glen, from the looks of it your a heck of a trip planner. Ill talk to sean and see what he has planned from looks of it we will have to get rooms in plainsville too if he doesnt already have a room.

Guys, I just booked a room at the Days Inn Cloverdale through Ramada.com for $48/night for a room with 2 double beds. A King was $52. (Both rates were plus tax)

Alan

"Alan what day's are you coming down (and or) are you staying in Cloverdale or are you driving to and from the house? We are driving back to the house each day. Is anybody else from ITPA coming? Walt"

I'm planning to get there late morning on the 12th, and will have to head back after the Friday evening pull. I'd like to stay until Saturday morning, but I have a prior commitment on Saturday. I'm sure Rick will be there as it is just down the road from his place. I know of at least 1 2 wheeler that's coming but that's all the "for sure's" I know of. I talked with Buck the other night, and he might come down if he get's his front end fixed.

Alan

Alan,

Alex and Kyle have signed up and so has Larry. And You know Jake will bring at least 2 trucks maybe more. I kinda wondered if Nick had his back together or not. Why dont you call Stefonaskaposkopi (whatever) and invite him so the class will be fuller.

Travis

i have a reservation for you and your lady at a motel 6 in plainsville for thur fri and sat night.... if that isn't suitable to your comfort needs, by all means they can be canceled. just let me know, we'll leave the light on for you.

sean

Ben and Goofy said they will becoming also, possibly Dave. I have talked to some guys from Missouri and at least 1 is definite, 4 or 5 are just waiting for engine or parts so I hope our class will be around 10.

leave the light... LOL thats great, i can tell this isnt going to be a boring trip over. ok thanks sean you saved me some trouble.

Oh, Frosty... the troubles are just beginning!

My wife says this is a redneck weekend - and my kids are pumped!

"My wife says this is a redneck weekend"

Hey... I resemble that remark... LOL
