Back in the 80's, and early 90's, I use to book holidays around both Michigan races each year. I always made sure to take the following week off, after race day, in case it rained, and got postponed to the Monday. Stayed at an expensive hotel in East Lansing, and got up really early to head to the track in Brooklyn. Love the Irish Hills of Michigan. I use to book another 2 weeks off work, and went to the Daytona 500 several times. Oh to be single again, and not have all the financial obligations now upon us. Had a great run before I got married, so no complaints here.
