    OK race fans, anyone up for a drive over to Celina to see the AARA sprint cars on the fairgrounds track? It is more of a demo that a race, but they make beautiful music & throw gravel. What's not to love? :biggrin5:

    I'll have to figure out a time & place to leave from. Breakfast first?

    Stay tuned for details.... :ihih:

    Im in and have been plotting the drive over the past couple of weeks. I drove a section of it over by Celina on Thursday night.
    It's best if we have breakfast up by Dublin somewhere. At this point I have the drive coming of off 33 just north/west of Dublin.
    For those that haven't watched these antiques, it's a blast!

    Sounds great, thanks Mark!

    Breakfast at Der Dutchman could work. If we do the buffet we can get in & out quickly.

    The NASA championships at Mid Ohio that weekend would be fun but seeing the Vintage Racers and then the next weekend at Mid Ohio for the Emco Gears race gives me a good blend of racing.

    Tough to be in 2 places at once. Vintage iron one week & modern the next, that's a happy meal combo for this guy! :drool

    And you never know who will show up at these AARP events! :biggrin5:

    As of this second, it looks like the Slvr R60 will be heading to Indiana that day, so I will most likely stop in Celina on the way back. Hope to see you all there, if my trip works out as planned.

    What time do you plan on being at the fairgrounds? I just got a call today that I have a family gathering to go to in Celina on Sunday at 1:00, so maybe I'll do both.

    The time has yet to be determined. The rally master SLVRBK is doing a route for us.

    They start their on track activities at noon, so I'd guess we should be there by 11:00 so we can see those cars up close before that go on track.

    Brian how long does it take to drive to Celina?

    It's a 90 minute drive using normal roads so I figure it will take us about 2 hrs with the route I've planned. The races are part of the Mercer County Fair so we should be there at 10:30 to 10:45. So....breakfast at der Dutchman at 7:45 on Saturday.

    Can you send me the route you are considering? I was just in that area last week for a funeral and it took me about 2 hours due to the amount of LEO driving around.
