    Not to hijack your event, but here's a second to make it a FULL WEEKEND of FUN!

    Impromptu Indy Mixed Marque is rolling into Brown County on Sunday.

    If anyone from Louisville is interested in joining, here's the meeting info:

    Meet at the flying J at Whiteland Road and I-65 (exit #95) at 11:00 AM.
    Go south on 65 to 58 (Exit #64). Regroup at gas station at exit.
    Take 58 to 135 to Story for lunch.

    We can meet up with you guys at Exit 64, Route 58 off I-65, then you join us for lunch.

    After lunch, we will head north on 135 and continue on further north and west, but you could always dodge out 46 east to I-65 and back home.

    Let me know if you might be joining us so we can make sure to wait for you at 58.

    Oh man, and I was in Indianapolis, too. I'd kick myself for not checking Fchat while up there (if it hadn't been cancelled).

    It was cancelled due to everyone deciding to be responsible and work on chores around their homes. A couple of cars developed problems too.

    We are threatening to try it again next Sunday for the same route. I'll post if it looks like a go.

    OK, off to pressure wash the deck and fence. I'd much rather go for a drive...maybe after lunch. LOL!

    Is next Sunday a mixed marque? I'd love to bring the Jag STR if it is. I know a buddy would bring out his 335i and maybe get some guys from Cincy to bring their F-cars...I've told them about the sweet, curvy, hilly roads down in Brown County!!

    I don't want to do that drive to Indy more than once a month, but thank you for the offer!

    Louisville I can do.

    I'm not sure of the county, but there's a nice twisty road near French Lick Casino.

    Looks like we are going to try again for Sunday, Oct 5th...that's this Sunday. mixed Marque.

    It will be the Brown County area so folks from Louisville can join up for a portion with the Indy folks.

    I'll start another thread with details later today or in the morning. I did some exploring yesterday and trying to see if the new roads can be mapped into the currently proposed route.


    Also, thinking to get an early start of this one while the roads are clear of the Sunday Drivers and get everyone home in time to finish up chores if need be...or we just have more time to drive. LOL!

    I fought this out in my brain, but the need to drive twisties before the car hibernates for winter is too big a draw. I only have a couple more chances to drive before the weather is against us until Spring.

    I did start a new post with the details for the cruise this Sunday.
