The Hoosiertrailriders.com desided to a winter track day with out motorcycles. 16 Offroad motorcyclist take the track with vengence
As a ex wrench on a karting track I soon found the what right and whats wrong. The scheduling was right and safety video and suits and gear. On a day that was 30* the indoor track is a little cooler and the track was indoors with exhaust fan so air was fresh.
The 2 groups of 8 and 40 bucks a head the practice , qualify, and heat events are 10 -12 minutes and everyone was pedal to the floor with a little feness the brack and wide and tight turns the Honda motors single to life with a cage and belts and neck brace and full face helmet our off to nudge touch and skid your way through the turns.

Super Sunday Swap Indy
I told my wife about attending the Super Sunday Swap Indy meet and that was my first mistake. With Christmas right around the corner and money is tight as it is these days. I did make the trip to ISF for a couple laps around the area. I went with the idea to only look for the items i needed not wanted. I did find a lot of folks with the carts filled with parts and some just pondering the need to own that widget we are all looking for today. No rear view Chevrolet interior mirror, No Panel air ducts, no chrome bumpers, and no abundance of new Chinese knock offs.
There was an abundance refurbished carburetors lots of them. OLD school Offenhauser and model Ford brass and unique parts for fords. The Chevy guys were there Rims and Hubs galore. Axles and Trans and Frames and body parts new and a few used. Lots of left over new parts that haven sold from retail stores. Lug nuts and wrench's were cleaned tool boxes from yesteryear were on sale. Slicks, Seat belts and Window netting. Just not what I was looking for today. A perfect place for a ground up old school rat rod you missed it. However you can catch the next one in January.
