[pigeonfarmboy]

Looks like everyone is busy getting their crap ready for the show! I stayed @ the La Quinta next door to the convention hotel. Worked out well.

[Izzy]

The Laquita was very nice and convenient.

[Lmackattack]

Who is all going....is this an event where people bring down their trucks to run or is it just a trade show?

[pigeonfarmboy]

If you have equipment or trucks, you won't want to miss it. Bring your toys and come play!

All days are the best days! From the time Travis gets there till we tear down there is prob something going on 24 hours a day, truck jumps, truck pulls, etc... I agree with others. you might wanna plan for at least 2 days maybe 3 ;) its fun and once you get talking to people you wont want to leave. Great people, trucks, and a great time!:bounce:

[JoseFL10-4]

Hey guys how about a bobtail circuit race in the parking lot, stock motor

[ihbuilder]

I'm gona have to bring the mack just for the truck pull :D oh that is after I get rid of that stupid emax setup and put some real gears in er :rolleyes:

[Supermario]

I have a weeks holidays booked for it. Gonna be there early and leave late for sure this year. After the show we have plans to tour the brickyard and Lucas stadium on Monday. :cool::) My step daughter has tickets to a preseason colts game on Saturday night but as much as I love NFL, you won't get me to leave the hotel for sure ! :D

Looking forward to seeing you guys again and meeting a lot more of ya!

Mario

[Lmackattack]

Where do most of you guys stay at...host hotel or somewhere nearby?

[woodhog]

I booked at the La Quinta which is rite beside the Marriot, but it looks like they only had 5 rooms left for that weekend. Book as soon as possible wherever you stay,I made that mistake last year and had to stay in a dive because the state fair and motorcycle races at the Indy speedway plus our show so motels were slim:mad: the marriot is anice place to stayfor sure be sure to mention the toy truck and construction show to get better rate.

[Smiley]

I got a room at the Marriot . I booked my room in February/march to make sure I got a room :D. I'm gona try and bring cookies and brownies again this year :D

[Mama Sue]

I will be atending this year

[JoseFL10-4]

[CustomRCmodels]

yeah , Indy 2013 is definitely on my to do list !
Last year I stayed at the Candlewood Suites , Indianapolis East ,
( in which I will stay again this year ) . For these hobby-weekends I always use my accumulated travel-points , don't have enough left for the Marriot but for the Holiday Inn chain to which the Candlewood Suites belongs . But I am not saving anything compared to others , since I always accumulate big bar and restaurant bills during such events ,lol.
It is on the same side of the road as the Marriot . Just look on google maps , look for the Marriot Indianapolis East and you will see all the other surrounding hotels .
That Candlewood is nice , since these are suite type rooms with full kitchen and such and even not that expensive , starts at $80,- ( at the moment ) . I am not such a fan of the monster-hotels , not because of the price , since most of the time its not that expensive , but you have to walk for miles in these places and for everything you have to ask extra , refrigerator , microwave etc . The bars and restaurants are nice in the Marriot .
Not the same atmosphere we used to have in the old place , but ok .
The Adams Mark was great ,
you showed up there only once a year and every waitress and bar-keeper remembered you , ( at least the hard-core party-animals , Lol )

[JoseFL10-4]

2 month, time to book flight and rent car.

[dmess62]

Just booked my room. Will be getting there late Thursday evening if I need to help with setting up or anything

[rccrazy523]

would be cool if you could bring them again

[FabOne]

Hey Guys (and Gals)-

Diesel Kid (Alex) and I will be arriving sometime Friday morning. Can't say yet if it'll be early or late morning.

I been checking in now and then, but I've had a rough go of it since the beginning of the year. I was let go of my Design Engineer position in early January, due to the economy, and haven't even found a job in production. After 30 years plus in engineering and now doing nothing, I feel worthless.

Well, I'm keeping my chin up (with the help of Alex and the wife), and hoping to get back on my feet here soon.

I may be unloading a RC truck and a couple of trailers at Indy to stay on my feet, but I'll be into this hobby for the long haul.

Look'in forward to seeing everyone at Indy!!

Terry

[pigeonfarmboy]

Sorry to hear that Terry. I'll have a buddy with me that's just getting started and may be looking for a new truck to buy. I know he's commented on your red hauler before so maybe we can help you out.

[ryman]

I went over to PMD today and helped Ric pack for the show.
He bringing some trailers that he is no longer going produce with close out prices.
