Good fortune has smiled on me once again this year. Apologies for the lack of pictures from last year. DAMN it was cold. I have endured sleeping on the ground next to a fire, sleeping in a car, a tent, the bed of a pick-up, a Westfalia, hotels, and now a Newell Motor coach. The Motor Coach is the "cat's ass". We'll be at the exit of turn 5. I will try to remember the camera on my walkabouts. Who's going?

I've got a full January so unfortunately I won't be able to make it this year. :frown:

Please do take photos as I'll watch on TV but those candid shots are great!

One of the most fun car things I've done. I gotta get back there.

I'll be building a small city in the orange campground starting Thursday morning. We have nightly movies, all racing related, starting just after sunset. I'll post my spots once set-up. Join us for a movie or double header. We may have a few adult drinks available as well.

Sorry I couldn't offer you a queen sized bed, but we did have a failure during camp setup.

Hope you had fun and you made it home in good shape.

No need to apologize, thank you so much for welcoming me to your cool setup! Trust me I slept better on that chair than I would have in the stands or my car.

Last night though I did have dreams of hearing engines at full throttle while in my own bed.

Hope you guys made it home at a decent time!
