Will there be a ride-along program?

Which track configuration will we be using? There is an excellent track layout on the club website, and I assume we are using the full "outside" circuit, but wanted to verify. Thanks.

Not my call, but hopefully Will and/or John can answer that.

Watch the videos.A mental map is a very good start to learning a new track. Not like the real thing..but at least you won't get lost...

Something I should have done at Watkins Glen before my first time there. I'll never forget that moment....leading the first pack of the day out..pouring rain....around the carousel...and right ..down the Nascar straight...Hey..where did everyone go?

Who says you can't get lost on a racetrack..hehehe...:lol: :lol: :lol:

Can you camp on the premises?
Do they have shower facilities, etc.

Before you slander me, I DID read the other post.... :roll: :|
Clarification: Some of us drive big SUV's and in some tracks we actually set up sleeping arrangement INSIDE the car. Can we do this? I suppose not ... but worth asking. :idea:

No camping,no showers,no garages. Tents,Rv's whatever.the track said NO. . Dan and I will be setting up camp at Wal-Mart,about 10 minutes from the track.They allow overnight camping in their lot. We have generators/showers so no biggie.
It would be MUCH nicer to stay at the track,but rules are rules... :oops:

Brian Stonkus had made us an offer to remove any waste fluids (NO antifreeze). Here is his offer:

Sam - We burn waste oil at my shop for heat (brake fluid, trans.
fluid, turkey frying oil, etc.) but no anti-freeze. If appropriate
I'm happy to bring a 35 or 55 gallon drum and leave it in my trailer
for disposal use. We're equipped with absorbent pads, socks, speedy
dry, etc. Just thought I'd throw it out there.

Thanks, Brian
