49'er Drive In theatre in Valpo ,IN

An honest to gosh real life drive in theatre... I know some of you have never even been to one :-( Its a shame if u havent.

Anyone into having a thirdgen, sat nite at the drive in?

A row of bords and cam would look pretty funny let alone rolling in at once :-) Not too hard to find at all and accesible from the major highways in the area ...

Think shows start at roughly sundown(duh) lol and the second movie would be somehwere around 11ish.

If folks are interested I will try and set up a date where hopefully it doesnt rain(wishful thinking) lol


later

Lets do it, there is also one right up here by me, depending on where the majority of people are coming from, it may be another option.

This saturday is bad for me, i am going to iowa for the midwest meet.

Not happening soon, unless people speak up and want to do it.

Most likely happen at least a mth from now depending on interest.

Either way I will end up heading out there myself sooner or later

Yer showing your age now, LOL.

What's really sad, is when you drive by were old US-30 drag strip was. That's depressing.

Yet I am determined to drive down the lanes one of these days despite the overgrown weeds

Its still a go, but between prior obligations and stuff im working on(like the track day) I'm kinda at a standstill for extra time..

I work 40 hrs a week and spens another 10-12 in friggin traffic like today grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

If someone else wants to take the reigns, feel free, but also look at the stickies above and figure out when the best dates are
