I've got my first Glen event coming up with the Schattenbaum region next week. I've got a couple of quick questions.
1) Can I buy fuel at the track
2) Do they have concession service or am I brown bagging it
3) Can you generally drop off trailers the night before? For this event it would be Sunday night
Thanks

There are a few gas stations within a 5 to 10 minute drive from the track that are more reasonably priced (Mobil and Sunoco). At most events at the glen the gas pumps will be open for a few hours each day.
They do have a concession service, but it is dependant upon the hosting club to have it opened. There are places by the gas stations where you can buy lunch
Trailer drop off depends on if the hosting club has asked for it. I don't think it is available for this Sunday.
See you on Monday

- yes, but it's expensive. I'd fill up before going to the track[/*]
- you'll probably have to bag it or drive to Mr. Chicken[/*]
- it varies by event. Check with Shattenbaum
if you're trailering, why not just buy a few 5 gallon fuel jugs (around $20 each). This way you can keep the car at the track and not overpay for track gas. I'm sure that you can get them at Dougherty's. If you're going to the 50th party, I can bring a few of mine for you to use.

but that's because you "killed" the turbo

Just heard, We got turbo ba ack, We got turbo ba ack, We got turbo ba ack! There was a broken bolt on the exhaust pipe on the turbo which must have been enough of a leak to prevent spool up. Dam that T-5 and T-6 at Summit. Bad news is I broke my ankle on Friday (my skate got locked in the ice and I twisted my ankle akwardly) and may be out for the Zone event.

Your wife should have made you retire from the ice like mine did. Maybe Sharon was right.

Was just a freak accident. As I fell back my blade got caught in the ice with my foot rotated externaly and inverted inward. The problem was the blade stuck in the ice and my foot ended up too close to my body putting excess strain on the lateral ankle. Hence R, distal angulated fibular fx. Good news it doesn't hurt with internal rotation and inversion (blip position)
Funny thing is I stood on it all day at work yesterday and didn't find out it was broken until 6:00 pm. I am planning on healing quickly.
