The HOF or bust!

Post by HoosierDeereMan »

I'm tired of wrenching, tired of cleaning, tired of worring about the weather, and tired of the wife poking her head in the garage asking if I'm spending all night out here?

The herd is as ready as it's gonna get. The 340/S and 78 340 liquifire are sitting under cover in the garage waiting to be loaded in the trailer. The 76 400 beater while not the best looking machine is making the trip as a back up and may get the nod depending on snow conditions.

Looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones. I can't wait!

Hey Guys,

I have been burning the mid-night oil too, got the I-500 sled up and running Sunday, been thrashing on the 84 Liquifire since. Found a few issued that needed major attention. I am trying to not to spend the entire weekend in the garage at the Whitetail...

...but Cari and I are leaving NY tonight!

Just passed through Madison, WI. T-roy is a couple hours ahead, Joe R should be in Indiana by now. We'll be there about 3:30 local. Sad news, Sean could not make the trip because of work. We'll miss him and most likely drink one for him :(

Going to leave tomorrow morning early ..should be in St Germain by noon.

Looking forward to meeting some of you.

Just talked with a little bird that told me Keith Warning won’t be able to make the vintage ride but will make the dinner………..a famous drag racer for skidoo will lead the vintage ride in his place.
