Big5er Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 I was thinking about going to Strataca again since I am told they have opened up a new attraction (Salt Safari). I was wondering if any other other pre-rally attendees were interested. I was considering going Wednesday the 4th? Anyone?? I have a friend that meeting me for a day or two that wants to see the Cosmosphere so I was also thinking of going there on Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'mdonewiththis forum Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 That sounds like fun! I wanted to do some of that last year, but didn't get the opportunity. Count me in. I will probably be there Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big5er Posted September 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 It's hard to find the time to site see during the rally with so much going on there. It almost has to be done before or after. I should be there by Sunday, maybe even Saturday depending on when I actually leave the dealership on the way up.

a_elkins Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 We want to tour the mines, and are planning at this point to be at Hutch on 10/1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big5er Posted September 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Looking forward to meeting y'all and the tour of Strataca. It's been several years since I went. I managed to gather up 10 or 12 that year. We'll do it againa and make a party of it. See you in a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLghtning Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 I'll see how my work schedule looks for that day, but I think my wife and I might be up for this also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark and Dale Bruss Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Strataca, wow, it used to be just the Kansas Salt Mines. With the new shuttle, we may return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lappir Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Not sure yet of my arrival, maybe closer to Friday or Saturday. I know the weekends would be more busy, but I have wanted to go some day. Anyone want to plan on a Saturday trip? Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuke-E Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 I'm shooting to be there Tuesday. The mine has been on my to-do list every year--maybe it's finally time to get it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah--looked like a blast, but they went while I was giving a seminar last year. Just look out for Roger--pretty sure he has more seat time at the place than a million-mile over-the-road trucker would on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will schedule a trip around the track for us, It looks like my work schedule keeps me from the pre-party but could set something up for Sunday or a day during the rally, just let me know and about how many would like to attend, and I'll get er done as they say.

Jack Mayer Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 I would love to do the go-cart thing...but alas, the rally work keeps me pretty occupied. If it is pre-rally I might be able to swing it....even on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lappir Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Where is the go cart track? A group of motorcycle riders got a little crazy with some near the Sprint Car track in Knoxville, Iowa last year. Retired two carts., but that was after they put the talcum powder on the track.

Rod It's in Wichita, about an hour drive from the fair grounds. It's on the southeast corner of Woodlawn and 21st street north. http://www.xtremewichita.com/ I need a count and if Sunday the 8th would work I will make arrangements for us to run together. We can do a grand prix that is 3 races or for just a few dollars more we could do the super grand prix that is 4 races, I like no more that 8 in a race but if we have more we could do 2 sets, then the fastest of each set would be in the first final, and the rest in the second final. How does that sound to all, and Phil I guess I have hijacked your thread. Roger Edited September 27, 2017 by Hewhoknowslittle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dollytrolley Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Oh ya sure Phil's in.......think about it folks.....your leading the race and all of a sudden the yellow flag is out and a cart with red and blue lights up along side and now you have ticket and the "fine" is a bunch of Cold Dr. Pepper.... Now that I've blown the "plan" wide open Perhaps I can "retire" into the "HDT-Protection-Program or.......maybe Phil might "retire" me like Barry Seal....... Sounds like a hoot....wish I could attend and show folks how to hold down last place in ever race..... Speaking of fast-times.......we took Dolly-the-paint-horse to the horse dentist-vet at Bend-Equine to have her yearly teeth-floating and we were early so Dolly had to stand out by her trailer for about 30 minutes not tied but with her lead rope laying on the ground. I told Dollymomma that she should tie Dolly to the trailer but she ignored me........all of a sudden Dolly took a few steps and with each step she doubled her speed and of course by the time the fat-$table-boy got off the fender Dolly was clocking about 30mph easy and was jumping way up and kick-bucking all away around the 80 acre field and double-bucking on 1/2 mile fence line next to the highway as cars honked to cheer her on......a few miles of fast laps and the vets clapped and declaired her a very fine lady indeed.....of course I got in trouble for the whole event by Dollymomma.....of course any time Dolly misbehaves it is allways the stable-boys fault.... Hijack over now back to the thread..... Drive on........(how slow can the Dolly-Kart go....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HERO Maker Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Well, I tried to do it last year, but had to leave early. Are we talking about the Sunday of the first day (check in day) of the Rally, or the Sunday following the Rally. If it's the 1st day, I probably have a little conflict with my role at the Rally.
