not a bad idea. Though, I'm not even sure where I can get dry ice around here. Was looking for some a while back to make a volcano for my son's birthday party and I couldn't find any place locally.

We have some ice producers locally and they carry dry ice blocks... You can buy it by the pound, or they have 10 lb bricks of it...

When I go to Mopar Nationals, I get a brick of dry ice for each cooler and then wrap it in aluminum foil and put it in the bottom of the coolers with pop and regular ice... It refreezes the regular ice after it melts from top and works its way down... Then keep adding fresh ice from the ice machines at the hotel all weekend... It will keep your drinks cold all weekend from Thursday to Sunday... However the drinks at the bottom of the cooler will have ice frozen around them for the first day or two, but will be ready to drink by Sat and Sun...

There should be some ice manufacturers/distributors near Indy I would think...

Ill have to remember to do that. I won a real nice cooler at the company picnic and it kept ice and drinks cold for 3 days in the sun. Dry ice like that would last a week

We pulled the Roadrunner out so we could move things around...

Here's my son driving it out...

My dad wrote this on the back window when we took it to Talledega back in 1988 for a parade lap with the Winged Warrior club... His favorite dog was our half Dalmatian/half English Setter named Captain... Captain loved to ride in all of the cars, especially the Roadrunner, but was too old to make the trip then, so he wrote his name on the back window in his honor so he could be there in spirit...

Captain used to go to all of the car shows with us in the 80's and was well known by the regular patrons... He had a black patch around one eye like the little rascal's dog... He was so well behaved we didn't need to leash him as he would always come when we called him back if he got to far away from us... He was very friendly and liked to walk up and greet everybody and let them pet him... After he was too old to go and later passed away, people who recognized us at the shows would ask where he was...

And I love the story. So cool to read stories about families with the same passion for cars. I’m the odd ball in my family. They see 50year old scrap metal, which given the condition of both cars, they aren’t far from it. But I see something different. Something historic. You see to me, the old cars represent more than hunks of metal. They have a soul, bits of souls from people who built them, designed them and owned them. Unlike today’s cars that are mostly robotic built, back then, every car was hand assembled. The tolerances stack up because people aren’t perfect so why should the cars be any different. Today’s cookie cutter cars, even the performance ones are nice cars, but they just don’t have that same connection. It’s weird.

Should only be a few hours. Takes longer to get to the site than it takes the pilot to spray, besides it all comp time plus normal 8hrs holiday pay. I’ll most likely be home before wife is ready to do anything anyway. So no loss on my end.
