SCTigerCock 171 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Can someone PLEASE explain to me:Hhow the same dog that insists on laying beside you on the floor when watching TV curls up in a nice tight ball YET when you let her sleep with you, takes up half of a king size bed? The middle half at that too!So much for being nice before sending her to jail.Well Savannah is eating, and I finalizing some packing. Then off to drop her off, a few last items we need then we are off!!!Hoping to be on the road by 1100 at the latest! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SCTigerCock 171 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 About Tickets:You can get tickets from most tracks directly. That is our how we got ours the first year back in 06. After you purchase the first year, you have renewal rights for the following year for those seats/locations. Once you renew, you can also upgrade if you desire to another location if it is available. Most tracks have a renewal period, upgrade period, then all leftover tickets go on sale to the general public. So realistically, someone returning has an advantage over renewals. Now with that said, it dosen't hurt to call the track's ticket office to see if anything is available already. I've known of tickets being available before annoiunced to the general public.Camping:You have on track and off track. A good rule of thumb is on track is more epensive, and more regimented. Not always true, just a rule of thumb. I found a good source of information is LaidBack Racing dot com. I'm sure there are other sources for offsite camping as well.We have always stayed off site, but seeing some of Pixi's posts that might change.If you want any info on Daytona, Darlington or Charlotte I might be able to help.

We always stay off-site. Race day becomes VERY long and tiring (especially for the July race in Daytona, when it's 110 degrees on track) so for us, it's nice to know we can go a couple miles down the road and get a little peace and quiet to unwind. Usually cheaper rates, with all the ammenities of a campground, and much more diverse, less expensive, food and beer choices along the way.Genia, get your ass in gear and get on the road!! :shortbus: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
