Fall Fun in Winchester
What a great rally. Frank and Jackie Anderson planned a rally that entertained all who attended. They
organized a variety of activities and tours. Thursday, the coaches arrived at the Randolph County Fairgrounds and set up camp on the level campsites. Although it began to sprinkle, the weather didn't dampen the campers spirits during "happy hour".
That evening many of the members gathered at the Chicken Shack for dinner. The buffet included the restaurant's famous fried chicken which was delicious.
On Friday, attendees traveled to Ghyslain Chocolatier where artisians create one-of-a-kind hand painted masterpieces. Ghyslain has s
erved as a pastry and executive chef in first class 
restaurants. Many of the members came back to camp with a variety of chocolates and pastries.
Hoosier Cruisers also had a chance to tour the Workhorse factory. This factory has made chassis for many of the motorhomes that are owned by members. It was amazing to see all the components that are necessary for a motorhome. At one point the guide showed where the partially assembled framed was flipped over for completion. The two tour leaders patiently answered all the questions that were asked.
Jackie and Frank had arranged a dinner at the Randolph Grille. The menu included a choice of steak, tilapia, salad, vegetable, and dessert. The service was excellent and all enjoyed their meals.
The next d
ay Hoosier Cruisers traveled to the Cardinal Ethanol Plant which converts corn into ethanol and other products. Wearing hard hats and safety glasses the tour began. Jim Seifert explained the complex process and summarized some of the facts about the plant. The Cardinal Ethanol began production at its ethanol plant in East Central Indiana, near Union City on November 1, 2008. The plant is expected to use 36 million bushels of corn and produce 100 million gallons of ethanol, along with 320,000 tons of dried distillers grains. That's a lot of ethanol from corn.
The Winchester Speedway was highlight of the rally. This weekend was Old Timers Weekend at Winchester Speedway which featured six different divisions racing on Saturday and Sunday. Hank Lower became one of the oldest people to ever win a race at Winchester when the 72 year old won a heat race for the HOSS Winged Sprints, and the Vore’s Welding and Steel New Stars 20 was won by a person, Steve Vore that had never won a race in any type o
f car before.
The weekend also featured many vintage racecars that were displayed and most driven on the track to show them off to the fans. The cars featured many different types of cars including sprint cars, midgets and old stock cars. As you can see the Hoosier Cruisers had some die hard fans and braved the cold.
This was the last rally for the 2009 season, but rally masters are already working on next years rallies. Watch for your newsletter the beginning of May or follow the blog for the schedule of dates and places for next years rallies.
