We're taking our trailer and staying in the rv park at fairplex.... taking the little ones 80's too..... that way no walking involved. Arrive early Friday morning and will leave sometime Monday for a long 12 hour drive home. But plan to party hard while we're there..... If your going to stay in RV park, hope there's a space available.... When we made our reservations a few months back, there were only 3 left.

Are you staying across the street at the park or in the fair grounds? The fair grounds is a great place to stay since right there at the end of the parking lot.

They said it was inside...... Have never actually stayed there b-4. Have always been put up in Hotels and drove in. So this will be a new experience.... Brut team suggested that we stay there..... they say its where a lot of the teams stay is in that rv park. Thought it would be fun to hang out with them on their off time (if any).

[Wally_Gator]

Looking to go Friday and Sat or Sun, not sure.

[racecar.hotshoe]

Monday for a long 12 hour drive home.
Where in the heck do you live?

[SHOCKENYALL]

Where in the heck do you live?
If I told ya, I would have to kill ya....
J/K..... Southern Oregon! We're crazy NHRA fanatics :220v: That and when Capps was with The Snake I worked for him... so it has always been great being on the "inside".

If you made reservations my guess is your across the street from the track. Should be fun either way. We normaly camp in the fair grounds for the ease of going to your trailer through out the day. The only problem is the fair grounds is first come first serve.

[SHOCKENYALL]

The only problem is the fair grounds is first come first serve.
Whoops..... uhhhh... Now ya got me wondering... calling right now. :rolleyes: Need to be sure we're at the right place. I guess your right though... either way will be fun... Plenty of our "Lollipop Punch", and plenty of beer for the guys... we will all be "happy" :rollside:
