With the mailing of the next magazine to the artist (Finally) I am happy to announce that the information and registration form along with hotel information is now posted on the SHOclub.com web site for:
SHO Convention #14, July 18-21, 2005 - Indianapolis Indiana.
Information is right near the top of the page.
NOTE: Hotel rooms are available but not blocked. If the hotels sell out for some other event, we won't have rooms. This was due to the contract required for this quality of hotel.
SO GET YOUR HOTEL ROOMS NOW! We got a great rate for a superb hotel with world class food.
I also negotiated a rate with a budget hotel owned by the same people on the same property sharing the parking lot. You can have your choice of Marriott or LaQuinta, and use the facilities of the Marriott wherever you stay.
so get your room reservations NOW, even if there is only a slight chance you will go.
We are racing at Indianapolis Raceway Park, and having a track lapping day at Putnam Park road course. These are two famous and fun tracks.
And Indy is a GREAT city to be in, with lots of racing history and plenty of fun things for everyone including spouses and kids.
So get your hotel rooms and send in your event registrations.
See you all in Indianapolis July 18-21, 2005

EVENTS PLANNED:Sunday Evening: Pre-Convention dinner with the Mallinsons.
We have picked out a fun place that is an easy drive from the hotel.
Then print out and read/keep the track information and rules along with the tech forms for you to fill out before coming to the convention. Bring these forms WITH YOU to the convention. Thursday:
Friday: This has not been an official convention day in the
past, if we don't do the rally tour on Tuesday, we would like to reprise the
great rally route that we took during the 2000 convention. All attendees
will get the rally route book and we will go out as a group for those that
stay around for a great drive through some of the most beautiful and fun
roads you will ever see. This was the 1999 BMW national convention rally,
and you won't believe what is around each corner. Lunch at beautiful
Nashville IN, a fun tourist town with lots of shopping followed by the rest
of the rally route. |
Other Things To Do:Indianapolis is a modern cosmopolitan city with professional sports teams, several museums and tourist attractions, wineries, and of course shops for most of the famous race teams in the country. I hear there are a number of great micro-breweries and of course, there are many pubs/restaurants that are favorites of famous race drivers and teams. We have made arrangements for people to get dyno sessions at the world famous Kenny Brown facility during the week. You can call and make an appointment Monday through Friday to see how bad your ride really is! Rockville Indiana is just about an hour away with more covered bridges than any other area in the country, maybe the world. We did a tour of one of the bridge routes (four are available) and we recommend you take the time to do this oh-so-American and Mid-West activity.

Miscellaneous:Like Die-Cast models? One of the best selections anywhere is in a shop we will guide you to in Indy. The surrounding area has many wonderful state parks, and there are some very good wineries also.
