10 hours driving to Evansville in the Chevy Nova (affectionately known as the "The Probe" as in Savairs)
It was Thunder on the Ohio 6. My 1 and only trip to Evansville
The New Turbine Atlas Van Lines breaking a qualifying record
Great view of the entire course
Brother Dave
Chet’s Music Shop
The Lite All Star
Amazon Hot heat
Catfish & asphalt sandwich
The PA guy in his White coveralls and Cowboy hat
That darn Budweiser song
The Bierstube and Live music
A trip to a beer store for Sunday provisions.... no alcohol sales on Sunday.
"Black Saturday"!
The campground
Race Day was Hot...Amazon Hot!
The beer was cold.
Did I mention that darn Budweiser song...”here comes the king, here comes the king here comes the big number one”....blah, blah, blah. Over and over again?! I think the race was sponsored by Bud. ;)
Between heat activity - Gene Souci...120, 130, 140 raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah (propeller driven airplane sound) and the air show. It was pretty entertaining.
It was an average day won by Jim Kropfeld driving the Miss Budweiser.
I think it was hot that day. With a 20 % chance of rain that turned into about 2" inches in 20 minutes. The rain was welcome relief to the blazing heat.
After the race, we were invited to a post race party at a big house on the main street across from the river and the Freedom Monument. We drank their beer, kissed their girls and had a great time. Great hospitality!
Filet 'O Fish!
An interesting trip!
I really want to go back in the near future
Many of these are inside jokes, so don't put too much into it...
