Re: Caravan to Proving Grounds 1?
How close is the road race area to the drag strip entrance?
I'll only be doing the drag racing and kind of want to be closer to that but I don't want my shit to get messed with either.

The road racing entrance is the opposite end of the park from the drag racing area. So it is not close, but that is why we like it, not many flat brims to get in "yo face". |

We need a Silver Buick Century we can roll 4-deep in past the kiddies at a respectable time, and yell passive-aggressive remarks about how they are ruining this country.
Damn kids.

Re: Caravan to Proving Grounds 1?
I really want to camp on the drag racing side due to that's what I'll be doing more and want to be close to that as possible. Still want to try and cruise up there with you guys though if tomorrow doesn't suck at work and I get everything done and loaded up tonight.

Since I'm part of the old man crew I'll be joining the quiet area as well.

We sure can, probably closer to 3:45 by the time we reach DB. I've got one last shot this morning to unfuck my car or the only thing I'll be Proving at these Grounds is how much liquor I can hold.

Re: Caravan to Proving Grounds 1?
Sounds good and good luck!
I also remembered to throw those pants in the car for your buddy.
I also got my spare helmet back that I could bring with if anybody needs one. Aaron used it last year at Rock Falls and passed tech with it.
