A Plan Comes Together

The 2005 Doughty 500 will be based out of Siren and will take place from July 18th through July 22nd. Siren was also the host city for the 1998 Doughty 500 and I'm told that the local bar owners are really looking forward to the economic boost that the 500 provides. The local constabulary has also been advised to be on the lookout for miscreants making "gas runs" with T's at three in the morning, so consider yourself warned.

Guests will be staying at the fabulous Best Western Northwoods Lodge in Siren. Dan advises that you can get a room for seventy-two bones as long as you mention that you're part of the tour. Make your reservations by June 18th by calling 1-877-349-7800 or you might be sleeping under the stars.

Sean was concerned about the whether there was a pool at the hotel and so he called to confirm. His conversation with the manager went something like this:

Sean: "You got a pool over there?"

Manager: "We have a pond in the back. We have a pool and a pond. The pond would be good for you."

If you have questions, you can drop Dan an e-mail at: dandy@cvol.net or call him at 715-835-0685.
