I am guessign that you will not be the only Saturday only attendee. I just want to see the Daytona Prototype cars this year.

ANd for those looking, I don't know how many more rooms are available, but I was able to secure a room at the Hampton Inn in Oxford. So if you are still looking, check into it.

I'm banking on the #70 GT running on Sunday and I don't want to miss that. May be a no show but I'll take the chance.

Okay, stupid question, but are the museum and track at the same location? When I do a search by distance for the museum I can find things within a couple of miles, but from the track, the closest is 10 miles.

Yes, they are the same location.

MrsLabop, I have a room with L8APEX. You can take me off the list.

Thanks SilverEIGHT, I have taken both of you guys off the list. It looks like everyone else is organizing it themselves, so I am just going to post the hotels I find with availability, the cost per night and how close it is to the track.

I am going to set aside some time this trip to go to that museum. I have heard that it is pretty cool, and I did not get a chance to stop by there last year.

For those of you who may be interested in camping at BARBER:

"Yes, there is camping at the track for the Grand Am event. For camping pricing and info go to https://www.southtix.com/grandam-tickets.html
or call 1.800.240.2300.

Heather"

Keep in mind that you should NOT purchase tickets yet as the pricing structure has not been set up for our club yet. Hold out for the discounts.

They are going to have to give us a BIG space in the corral this year. With the banner and the easy up, we will definately look official. Now the wait until July will probably come close to killing me. I need to find a bettter camera for this year.

I get more and more excited about this every day. I hope we have the biggest crew out there. I wonder if we could convince Speedsource in setting up one of the prepped cars they won't be racing at the corral with us. It would make for a hell of a show! The BMW group had a race car there last year.

Charlie,

Think you can ask them about the car? Or is that asking too much? I don't want to distract them from the race or anything. I just thought it would be cool.

Labop, is your friend with the Viper coming? I'll put him on the list if he is.

You have yet to ride with me although with my shitometer out of calibration, you may be right. Pam and Robert can probably vouch for me though after TGPR.

No official word on whether the GT car will run Barber yet. I spoke w/David last week and it really depends on whether Mazda puts up the $$$. I will speak to them as the date gets closer about having us visit like last year.
