Bummed to see Grattan WERA is the same weekend as Autobhan CCS I wish I could be in two places at once. I am eager to show you WERA boyz and girls how to brake.
It still amazes me the Grattan Bar is being used as a reason to go there, used to be the other way around
The place is hole, but after a long day at the track that strawberry shortcake puts me in my happy place.
It was more of a hole when I first started going up there. Now it's actually got friendly people and good food. I like it.
To me it's the tradition more than anything, and the short ride back to the track when you leave late at night...
Don't forget about the Olive Burger at the Grattan Bar. Rocked my foundation a little. Kinda like the first time I ate a gooberburger in Sedalia, MO.
That's it right there. Kind of like Outback near Jennings, I'm not an Outback fan but you just have to go.
Worst part, that's probably true but they are some damn nice people. We only had one incident there with a very drunk guy who's mom just died or some shit like that. I diffused the incident and brought him to the bar to buy him a shot and a beer. He bent down to grab his lighter with a pistol on his side. That could have gotten ugly. $10 well spent.
I used to go in the bad old days too, never had an issue but it was a LOT more country local bar than the bar/restaurant it is now. Grand Rapids has expanded out too far
