    I am doing it all

    Sprinkle a little on pit lane, some on Georgetown the night before the race, a pinch accidently dropped in the cockpit of someones car as they are grided.
    A flake or two on the bricks.


    What ever is left take me to any old dirt track on the night of a midget and sprint car double header and let me fly.

    My plan is simple... ya crawl along Dry Run Creek's bed under the Georgetown Road bridge, under the beginnings of the first turn then they are to find a grassy spot between the fence and the pit strip and then dump the contents of my urn into a shallow hole carefully placing the turf back in place when they are done.

    See I've evolved... originally my plan was to pour the contents of my urn into a can of paint and then have them use me as spackle to paint the ceiling of Britany Spears' shower.

    I've always told my kids to take my ashes to Grandstand G and let 'em fly!

    If they can't get that done, they can always take them to the Terre Haute Action Track and I will perpetually be there in time for hot laps...

    I want one third to be sprinkled at IMS in a secret location, one third in a container on the bar on top of the grandstand at Eldora (Please, Tony???) and the rest sprinkled off the back of my sister's boat at Blind Pass, Florida near Sanibel and Captiva Islands while Jimmy Buffet sings "It's Been a Lovely Cruise" on the stereo (Pioneer, of course).

    Although the cemetary above Turn 1 at Putnamville is a close second choice.

    It really IS all good!

    Ah yes... "It's Been A Lovely Cruise" that's a good one but my sister says (since I'm the one who wandered and am always calling home) that at my wake they would play Jimmy's "If The Phone Doesn't Ring... You'll Know That It's Me"

    But who are we kidding by 2020 we will be so sick at hearing "Stairway To Heaven" at so many babyboomer funnerals that anything different will be a welcomed change.

    I have told my loved ones I want to be cremated and have my ashes dumped in the Sandia Mtns outside of Albuquerque.

    Also there is to be no funeral or viewing. A morbid and obsolete ritual IMHO.

    Instead just tell all friends and family that Im gone and to meet
    at the VFW that weekend for a heck of a party.

    (Hawaiian shirts to be worn as requested by the dearly departed)

    I have no doubt where I will be by then so it really should be a good time for a party

    Place 1/3 of my ashes near the first turn at Lawrenceburg Speedway, the site of my very first race.

    1/3 goes to IMS. I've walked all over the speedway at one time so I would just say in the short chute between turns one and two, where I saw my first Indy Car at speed.

    The last third goes to Winchester Speedway probably coming off turn four. I have to have a presence at the high banks.

    That way I have a dirt track, a paved short track and a big speedway. As a native Buckeye I managed to end up in three tracks in Hoosierland. Can't get much better than that.

    Good spot but for a different reason... saw my first nakeed boob... a female boob that is.

    I would also lke a handful of my ashes to be scattered among my family, at the most peaceful place I have ever been to in my life. Bruce Lake cemetery, Bruce Lake IN.

    With my luck, I will have paid $200 for great G seats and end up with you in my eyes.

    Well, at least G stand is a bargain - you won't have to pay $200! $70 is tops for one of the oldest seats at IMS.

    Screw ashes....I just want to be chopped up into little bitty pieces, placed in a paper bag, and lit on fire in front of someone's front door.
    Gotta go out with a bang!
    Livin' the good life as poorly as possible.
