Anyone going to DHRA in Indy this month?

Just wondering if any of you guys would be going to the DHRA event in Indy. I am going to be heading over there to check it out. Never been to one of these events.

Me and a buddy of mine are going down to Indy for nationals. This will be my second event, but my first time at nationals. I've been to scheids in terre haute.

I'll be there. I'm in Dayton now for business, it's too close not to go. This will me my first nationals event as well. I bought a copy of the 2005 event off eBay and it looks pretty cool. The ol' lady wants me to fly her out for it, so i'm a little excited...

I'm headin out there with a few guys n 2 pullin trucks. We're stayin at the Ramada Inn west which is about 3mi from IRP so hopefully thatll be good. For those of you who havent been its a great time, always something fun goin on there between the pulling and drag racing. The only thing that sucked was it was so hot last year and the whole event is on blacktop.

I'll be going out on Thursday. Last year was my first one and it was a blast. After the events are over during the day the party continues at night (at the hotels) lots of burnout etc.
