When I reserved my spot in Chaparral, they allowed me to pick a specific spot, and my receipt shows the number. Chaparral is RV sites, so it may be different... IDK?

You probably don't have to make a reservation. If there is room you can find somewhere to stay. If there isn't room you can just grab a spot day of.

Thats where we will also be.

139XL is the site I've had the past few years, and hoping for that site again. We can then just fill in down that road. You are welcome to pick a spot in that area if you want to party with the cool kids

We'll probably aim to get there earlyish in the day friday to try to get set up. So I guess we'll just figure it out then, so much **** to get ready for the drive down. I think I may order some solid motor mounts as well. Just in case I toast mine, ******* v8s.

I was thinking of driving down Saturday morning but maybe I should bring a sleeping bag and pad and just crash on someone's camp site Friday night. Decisions.
Hey Nigel, can I get a discount on a room. Just kidding

I might have to drive down in racecar trim because my trailer guy isn't getting back to me. No biggie though.

I am in that area as well. Honda Odyssey VTAK POWER! I will win the weekend because of it.

Question: how much food is available? IE, how much do I need to pack in my cooler. If there's breakfast/lunch/dinner available all weekend, then sweet. I'll pack a cooler regardless. But if I have to plan for a couple meals a day, that's different.

There is a cafe open ($$$$$) for lunch, and maybe breakfast. For dinner Friday is bbq, Saturday is mt.net dinner (or m.net party). Lunch is up to you. Last year we did in n out on Sunday on my way out of town which was cool. But not planned.

I will be packing my own breakfast and lunch, but not dinner.

There's also food available at the concession area at the track. Not great food, but it's edible and not horribly overpriced.

Monterey is close by and can be reached during lunch on a hot lap day, but you don't get much of a break that way.

Saturday morning i'll prob send my brother or dad into town to hit mcd's or something for bfast.

When you guys figure out where you're going to be touching tips on Saturday night, let me know.

Thats up to Gordon.

So it looks like I made the list as a driving instructor. And if I read the email correctly then I need to sell my B spot on Saturday.

So if anyone is looking, I may be tentatively selling.

Plz share.
