Anyone heading to the Jamboree in Indy Sept. 20 weekend? Should have a couple trucks up there.

Where's the best(cleanest and safest ) place to stay?

We might be going there as well. This will be our first time. Any suggestions?

davis38 · 08-22-2013, 08:28 AM

You won't find any hotels near the fairgrounds, not that I would recommend staying there even if you did. Probably your best bet if you want to be on the Northside of town would be the hotels at the 86th St/Castleton exit off of I-69. There are quite a few and its a nice area with a lot of restaurants near by.
Then all you have to do is head south on I-69 which turns into Binford Blvd which then becomes Fall Creek Road. Fall Creek will take you straight to the fair grounds at 38th St.
Depending on where you're coming from, this might take you a little out of your way to get to the hotels, but its the easiest way to get from the hotel to the fairgrounds. Hope this helps and hope you enjoy yourselves. I enjoy going every year.

I have wanted to go to one of these my entire life, maybe next year I will make a plan.

86454k30 · 09-16-2013, 07:04 PM

Any pic's from the event?

andrewmp6 · 09-17-2013, 02:36 AM

Its this weekend i would love to go but money and time is tight for me.

6600DURAMAX · 09-18-2013, 12:04 PM

Sorry for the late reply, cant seem to get enough time to even log on anymore. We are heading down there on Friday morning, hoping to get a decent parking spot. I will have the Duramax and the 71 plus a couple buddies from St. Louis bringing up a couple trucks.

Should be a good time.

We are staying on the north side as suggested, we used to stay southwest of town, PRETTY ROUGH down there

I will try to get some pics with my phone, camera is toasted.

Swing by and say hi if you see the trucks

My Favorite!! Wife wanted to trade both my trucks for this one!

86454k30 · 09-24-2013, 10:22 AM

Awesome! Thanks for the pics. Is the attendance lower than it use to be? If it wasn't so damn far I'd be there!

6600DURAMAX · 09-24-2013, 10:29 AM

Not sure what the official truck count was, it did seem a little lower but there were still a probably a couple thousand trucks or so?

Looks like fun....I've always wanted to go to that...bucket list item.

simpson1972 · 09-24-2013, 09:16 PM

My wife loves your truck and the teal and white one that there is a pic of I think it was parked close to where you were. the first couple are of my truck I took down. I reg. sat morning about 9:30ish and I got sticker#3573

simpson1972 · 09-24-2013, 09:25 PM

and here is a pic of the one I left at home because it is not done yet. hopefully it will be painted and make it to lima and indy jamboree's next year.

6600DURAMAX · 09-24-2013, 11:15 PM

I love the color, what is it? How did you do on the Dyno?

How is Lima compared to Indy?

The color is BMW Montego blue. It made 371 hp 665 trq. We usually only go to Lima for one day it is a rowdier crowd it is more of a big party. You see a lot of dumber **** done at Lima . We spend the weekend at Indy we like it a lot better it is more laid back.

Duramax, What tires are you running on the blue '71?

I've got a '67 long bed, 468 BB and 1-tons (a little lighter blue) and love the look/stance you achieved!

Nice!

6600DURAMAX · 10-07-2013, 07:13 AM

truckman1 - the Wheels are Ion Terminators (I beleive) and they are 17x12 with 35'' Pitbull Rockers, the trucks has 7'' of lift on it.

trukman1 · 10-07-2013, 11:10 AM

Duramax, I just realized your truck is the desktop image on my computer!!!

I've had it for quite awhile as the truck I use to inspire me to make my truck better!

Unbelievable!
