> With all the plans going forward for the West Baden contest, I thought those of you who’ve never seen the grand interior in person might get psyched a bit more when you see the attached photo, made during a contest. I took it back in 1983, the last year that the annual “Indoor Week” was held there.

Thanks for the look back Bob. I flew in there last time, but will not be attending this time unfortunately. I recall looking at the pictures of this place in the magazines when I was starting indoor, and just being fascinated by the whole idea of staying in the building. I never heard the story about Doc's minibar, how cool.

What was the actual format of the 24 hour peanut gran prix?

I do wonder, since the hotel is open this time (last time it was not a functioning hotel yet) will the guests that stay in the hotel be able to continue to fly after hours?
