What time we heading to the Track on Sunday?

I know some folks may be close enough to just drive up, instead of camping/hotel....
So my question is what time should we show up for the caravan out to the track on Sunday?

I had planned early in the morning when they first open up, but I'mnot sure if they have events in the mornings now, and open later on. I'll have to check into it.

I'm not so sure the caravan will happen, at least by police escort, no reason why we still couldn't meet somewhere like the campgrounds and head over.

Track opens at 10am. Jr Dragsters run from 10-12, time trials start at 12pm.

We could go either 10 or 11am?

What do others think?

caravan

We need at least one good caravan! The camping people need to meet up with us hotel/motel staying folks and caravan to the track. We don't need to worry about a police escort. If it's a problem, we'll let Mark drive like a maniac, when the police begin chasing him, we'll all just follow them!!!:sillylol:

I second that! We should all meet at the main camp site or some specific location and all caravan from there on over.


Do we have any bracket racing set up or anything with the track set? Do they know we are coming?

Eliminations start at 3. They know we're coming, and said we should have our own lane maybe 2.

I'm not sure what time they actually start racing. But, one plan is that if we shoot for when the gates open (10am) and then IF racing doesn't start until 12 noon ... we could always sit around and bull5hit for awhile. Bring some chairs, etc. But, then again, you guys might need all the rest you can get from staying up late the night before Hahahaha - that shouldn't be a problem though. At Indianapolis during the National F-Body event we were up till the early morning hours and still go up at 6am the next morning to hit the motorplex I guess when racing is concerned - no hangover can stand in the way!
