Now that most of us know if we are going or not... Where is everyone staying?

Wherever you can! I booked before registration opened and it was tough finding spots.

well..we are going to attempt to camp at the tracks??? i'm sure this is a really bad idea, but its all i got at this moment!..lol

Paul did that in his 55 Nomad....it worked ok for him. Some years the tracks have better facilities (showers, etc) than others!

Same here. Think I did it in January and closest hotels filled up already.

i'm hoping for showers lol!!...our 55 is a 2dr sedan with fiberglass buckets..not much for sleeping..lol i hope our little tent is waterproof and we never need to find out !!

I'm not sure you will want to camp any where close to the track in St.Louis. Not the nicest area around it. I doubt most tracks will let you in until the morning of the event.

That's good point about St Louis - I took look on google maps ..lol. And I bet you are right - rest of tracks probably closed overnight... if there's physical space on entrance roads with tree line you might find some camping "spots" ... if they and local cops cool with it.

yea, i was hoping we could get into the track in st louis..to avoid the surrounding ereas? idk you bring up an interesting point about tracks being open to let you in?..i might need to call them ? yea most of my worry travelling is st louis erea lol...so on a long drive like to st louis and back how much does the route run you around? or are the pretty straight forward on the routes? thanks

I'll post up when I can consolidate my schedule. Woof! Paying for one night at a time makes it a bit expensive. I did book several casino hotels in hopes of recouping some of my expenditures. ;)

They keep you off the interstates for most part. Local roads and state highways. 2/4 lane'rs. You get written directions - go 12.1 miles on Rt 34 and take left onto Longview Road .... that kind of thing. It brings you to the check points. Looks like they try to get the entire circuit to be 1000 miles. Some legs longer than other of course because of track locations.

I'd definitely call the tracks. I bet they might have some ideas for ya !

lol ...we have been on a few power tours so i kinda figured the directions would be like you say Duece..thanks for the tip..it helps settle the mind...Quick i would like to not be one of those campers hanging in the lobby!..byron and gld those are no problem at all to camp even if you cant get in to the track..the others i havent been to so i cant say...calling the tracks will be a must!..thanks for the comments and ideas!!
