I would love to go, but this close to Indy! No way..
Nick, I am here at BIR now, and I didn't see any Dot on the way here.

That's also my issue Joe. I would love to go to Brainerd ... but just too close to Indy.

I don't know if Indy - or any track - has (or had) something similar to what BIR has in the zoo... an on-site campground full of fans, racers, live music, and everyone (well, 98% of them) are out to have a blast all weekend long. I've been to a ton of races, and racing is racing... but the zoo adds so much to the weekend. I highly recommend it!
I figured when it was found that the bikes were from Sturgis that DOT wasn't the problem.
Hope you and the gang have the best of luck this weekend. You are definitely a fan favorite up here.
Does the Bode gang make rounds in the zoo over the weekend?

I am somehow managing to do both.
actually mark the race i would prefer over both is the cordova world series.
BIR is too close & convenient.

indy campground is a blast / BIR is a blast x2
been to both - prefer BIR.
same cars, just a few more and a little more variety @ indy.
same campers, just a few more and a little more variety @ BIR.
If your trying to compare the Car counts at Brainerd to Indy don't even go there! They added Both TF/FC shoots this year, not to mention both Sportsman shootouts! If it wasn't for The Zoo, I doubt Brainerd would even be on the Schedule, even though 80% of the Zoo Zealots don't even watch the Drags!

After 20 plus years of BIR, I gave up on going there. Luckily I found the world series in cordova as a replacement. Try it sometime, it's a blast. Great bang for your buck.

I was trying to convince the wife about what a great idea it would be for us to go visit her cousin who lives in Davenport, IA on Aug 24 & 25, which is about a 30 minute drive from Cordova. I didn't fool her. She knew I was trying for the Trifecta.
Thank's for the support. We are excited to see how our new combo will work on a cool track. The whole team trys to get some time to go to the zoo at least one time during the weekend. I usually arrive a couple of days before the rest of the team, and I stay a day or two after they leave, so I spend a little more time in there then they do. Actually I just got back from the zoo.
Sure, it's not Indy, Gainsville or Pomona, but I wouldn't go that far....
That's not true either. Everyone in the zoo has a race ticket. (unless they jumped over the fence) BIR does not sell a "camping only" ticket.
I've received 2 text messages from the Jag bar tonight. Sounds like they're off to a good start. lol

Mark, I told you that the dude that got struck by lightning at BIR on Wednesday had died... I heard that on the radio coming in - I was mis-informed as he is still alive at the hospital. There's hope he will make a full recovery.
