I confirmed it with my dad, we are staying in the motorhome at the track. If anyone else isn't bringing a car and wants to stay at the track, let me know. We have one bed open yet. It should be ~$100 for gas AND the room.

If I do end up going, would you/your dad be willing to allow me to tent it up next to you guys and use your shower for a little fee?

I believe you use the public showers they have at the track when you camp out there......

Is it ok for newbs to come. I mean ill be around here for quite a while before the shootout it sounds like alot of fun. Iam only 16 if thats a problem and i would most likely bring two guys with that are 19-20 yrs old with a Celica and a Probe. I probally woldnt race though due to my car being stock. Ill ahve it though just incase theres some other stock cars around or jsut some civics haha

[Goat Blower]

Sure, everybody's welcome. There's not really any Civics around though, just a lot of fast DSM's. There will probably be a few caravans going from Minneapolis, so you'll have some company.

Alright Thanks, When the time comes closer I may have to talk to someone about local hotels so I dont get stuck 10 miles away from everyone

You dont want to wait, trust me.

yea, alot of them are already booked but usually last minute people find some rooms cause there's cancellations.

What nights are you guys staying? I reserved a room at the Best Western for fri and sat. Maybe I should get sunday as well. What do you guys think...... or is there a convoy planned yet??

We always leave Thursday morning and return Monday morning, so we are there 4 nights. At least that's what has gone on the last 2 years.

Oh, and jpape, you definately don't want to wait because those hotels book up fast. As soon as the dates are released they get booked.

I'd love to go but it all depends on where I'm working this summer... what are the options for hotels / surrounding areas if you book late :-(?

Not much. There are hotels in surrounding towns I believe. I would look into your options now. Heck, you could even make reservations and then if you can't make it just remember to cancel. You can cancel up to 24 hours prior to your reservation and not be charged I believe. But I'm sure you'll know before then.

So I get the feeling BW is the place to be?

Most of us will be there. And if the scene at the hotels are better they are within walking distance. Some people are crashing at the track as well.

Anyone have a hotel room thats empy and wanna get rid of??? :cheers:

[AJ]

the Links dont work for me, but tyhe hotel is in Norwalk.

Yeah I can't wait to RV it, I have heard that it gets pretty crazy at night around there. And plus for the race days you can watch when you want and then go and chill in your camper whenever you feel like it. The hotel was cool last year but the cops were too paranoid about everything and made it so you had to sneak around to drink and shit. But not everybody was there to party......

CRAIG :jammin:

How far is the drive for you guys that live by the cities to Norwalk its like 380 for me from Ivanhoe

[TheBlizzard]

Ha ha ha....I wish. I can't remember totally but I know it was like 12 hours to get there from the Champs in Woodbury wasn't it? That was not straight driving, but pretty close we didn't stop to many times.
