While it might be fun to go to Gimli or Gateway, the reality is there are four ChumpCar races within reasonable towing distance. Gimli is about 400 miles away, roughly the same distance as from Duluth to Road America or Iowa Speedway, but there are more 2-lane roads and it's only four weeks before the BIR race.
Here's another event for you Fart-hinder fans. Tim plans on being there.
Minnesota ChumpCar Happy Hour
When: Saturday, November 19th
Location: Poor Richards Commonhouse (Hwys 494 & 100), Bloomington, MN.
Time: 6PM to Whenever (We have our own room with three TVs so bring some videos to share). Look for the Chumpcar sign/banners.
By the way, I spoke with Herm Johnson a couple of weeks ago. He is home in Eau Claire, recovering from his injuries. Sounds like he is doing well.
