The (non) official LOG Live Update Thread

Maybe some of us who get updates on LT will have more info this way. ??

EVERYONE'S wondering how the parking is being handled... some of us got tickets, someone said we just have to get them punched every time we go in / out of the deck.....another said they just pulled in....someone else just got it added to the room..... anyone know ?

Where is the show on Saturday morning ? concourse ........

By the way....don't try & use the computers in the business center....they should've been thrown out about 7 years ago they are 150 % useless.....use your own laptop ( if you managed to fit it in your car ).

Anyone have anything to add ?? ...... OH... La Peeps is GREAT for breakfast.... out of the front of the hotel....turn left 2 blocks....on the opposite side of the street.

Ok kestrel i talked to chrisN.

He said everyone should either Valet or park in the parking garage around the side of the building.

He said its like $18 a night to park in the garage. So however the hotel handles that is however they handle it.

Hey,

I haven't had any probs with the parking. (Well maybe, reaching the ticket button on the way in...but that's typical in the Lotus)

Boy its HUMID here!

I rode to Walker Racing in the Lotus Omega with Ron...great car. Lotsa grunt. Neither of us could figure out the car's Lucas trip computer though...

When we arrived in the Omega at Walker, the helpful employee said "park that rental car behind there" NOT!

Arnie Johnson, Dave Simpkin, all our old acquaintances... Just a great time so far! Clive Chapman came in last night too... and was quickly coerced into walking off with the display chassis from the lobby by Richard Parramint! (Yes they put it back before the Barber Motorsports guys raised an alarm)

Haven't seen any LT screen names on badges.


Oh well, today's the Concours at the Speedway....time to get some o'that buffet breakfast.

What a great day !!! The gathering this morning was amazing..... The city of Indianapolis was very cooperative in shutting down the circle around the monument..... and the drive to IMS was cool too ( going through all the red lights )..... motorcycle cops had every intersection closed down so the Lotus procession could stay together. Some more pics:
