Indy 2009

[BigMike60]

This is just a planning note. The Mayor's Breakfast and Bump Weekend for next year is May 16, 2009. Please begin planning your vacation time now so that when we start final planning in Jan/Feb timeframe you don't get shut out and have to work.

John and I will begin working again at the beginning of 2009 to get this event on line. Save your pennies as the Breakfast is expected to be about $60 a head, unless it goes up next year. That fee includes a super breakfast, a lap on the track, photos with the princesses [if you want] a photo or two of your car on the track, parking at the Pagoda, an event street sign, 1/18 Indy car diecast, special event hat [if you have the guts to wear one], twinkling light pin, and special seating near the pit area. A little pricey, but worth it.

Start your planning now.

[beespecial]

It goes without saying that I'll be there.

Yeah, if you didn't show up, I would expect people at your doorstep dragging to the meet kicking and screaming!!

You can't force someone who's willing.

Having just joined the club, I will need to really watch the posts on this. Never been to Indy - only Lime Rock here in CT. I hope you experienced folks will post details for us new members on what takes place and on how you all meet up in Indy. We can get a lap on the track ?? Thanks and looking forward to meeting everyone.

[FIREM]

Stay tuned. There will be a thread and sign up thread posted once the details are worked out. Past two years we have had a great time thanks to beespecial and BigMike60 setting up the weekends events. Attending the Mayors breakfast includes a paced lap of the track, garage passes, and a day at the track. Definatly worth the drive...

Looks like I will be missing some of the activities on Saturday.
My best friend is getting married on 5/16 in the afternoon. So I will probably miss the Mayor's Breakfast this year (and the lap) But I will be there later on in the day, and Sunday, also on Friday.

We're still planning on coming. My M is dead in the garage. Needs a battery.

Watch for a sign-up thread coming soon. I expect to begin working on the lodging accommodations in the next couple of weeks.

Hey BeeSpecial - thanks for the Utube link. Looks like a great time! I am really going to try and make this. Probably about 10 hr drive- maybe need new Escort to shorten the ride. Going to check out the picture forums now...........

[beespecial]

Ok, I've spoken with BigMike60 and he's ready to start working with the 500 Festival people for the Mayors Breakfast. So this week I'm going to talk with the hotel we used last year to get a club rate for us. When I get some definite info I will start a sign-up thread during the last week of January for the hotel and for the Mayors Breakfast tickets.

The sign-up thread will continue to evolve with more information as I get the agenda for the meet set so watch it for the new information as it becomes available.

This meet is second only to Carlisle but remember, you won't see Indy cars doing 230 mph at Carlisle!

[SPAD3]

Do you have to get a hotel room to get the package?

The freaking wedding plans have changed....
The wedding is at 1830 on the 16th
So...I might be able to make the Breakfast, and leave in the afternoon to make it back to Cincy....then come back wee early Sunday morning.
