It's 10 min. from Putnam, north of Cloverdale on 231. The Walden is nice but pricey; there are a couple of good B&Bs (Valentine house, and one on the square, forget the name). Also a couple of seedy motels at the Dollar Inn level (Putnam Inn, College Inn). If you're in Greencastle, go to Marvin's on College St. north of campus and get a garlic cheeseburger and cheese fries. So it's 10 days off your life, so what? It's worth it. tammer - --- ben keyes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Michael Turgeon wrote: > > > The Holiday Inn is full.

For Jack's first ever club race (Putnam 2001) I flew from Seattle to Detroit (5 hrs) then a friend picked me up and we drove to IN another 6 hrs to make it there by 6am on Sunday. I wanted to wake up/refresh (no cologne jokes Ben) so a quick shower would help but the Dollar Inn would not let me have a towel unless I returned a wet/used one first. Sheesh. Yeah you won't see the abundance of towels like most hotels, probably two and so thin from the many washes (at least I hope they wash them) they're probably just thrown into the drier and you get them back!

I'm just curious if this is pervasive or > I just happen to live in liabilitylawland. BMW CCA National regs require convertibles to have an SCCA compliant rollbar, and, I think, arm restraints. Many individual Chapters are more restrictive. Ours, Hoosier, does not allow open cars period. Partly this is because we aren't qualified and don't want to get into the business of trying to determine whether a rollbar meets those rules or not.

Everything since 1974 for the US market has a roof crush strength requirement, but not all cars are created equal. Certainly a full race type cage is better than not, and I didn't mean to claim that no cage is necessary in a tin top car. I would consider an E36 to be "newer". The degree of roof strength goes along with the degree of restraint inside. The stronger the roof, the firmer the belts you can use. Its all a matter of degree. Gary Derian > Define "newer".
