Should be quite fun. State fairs and the like aren't usually my thing, but the IA State Fair is an exception. It really is quite something. And for someone like me, who has been known to enjoy the consumption of foodstuffs, it is heaven. It also means a mini-roadtrip, which I like. However, it is I-80 across Iowa, and we all know what that means:

Our plan was to round out our thoroughly 'Murican weekend with a trip to a dirt oval out in the country for some good, old fashioned sprint car/stock car/crapcan racing, but some friends invited us to a luau instead, so now the dirt track racing will be in 2 weeks. I should point out that when I was informed that many of the drivers in the compact class (Dodge Neons & Chevy Cavaliers) were local high schoolers, my first reaction was, "Well, I'll get myself a tidy MkII Golf and go down there and show those country folk that we city slickers know how to drive, too", but my parents said no. So I'll just have to watch and hope that, like last year, someone has the balls to enter a Golf/Rabbit.

You are going to the wrong "fair"! You should be heading to Knoxville, IA for the sprint car nationals. Over 100 410 sprints vying for victory at the biggest spring car race of the year.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > sm70- why not Duesenberg? 08/08/2014 at 00:10

Jeep, as a prototype. It's completely modern underneath, and it's called the J-12, if you wish to do more research.

Thank you for using the word foodstuffs. One of my favorites.

I was actually really hoping someone would notice.

Still not as good as its bigger brother to the north that happens at the end of August!

The great Minnesota Get Together (state fair). Unfortunately they haven't raced at it since the early nineties I believe.
