According to the email instructors can run in A, B, or C groups. As long as we don't "spook" other drivers. lol.

Do people hang out Sunday night, too? Or does everyone bail.

We'll be there Sunday night.

Hopefully we can get into the paddock at zero-dark-thirty to hook up the trailer... I'd like to get an early start Monday. We have a long pull for one day, but it's silly to break it into two. Just a bit further than turbofan's.

Might want to load the trailer up and keep it at the campsite. No idea how early you can get in the gates.

Sold my B spot. Am instructing Saturday and Sunday morning.

Local people usually go home on Sunday, people with a long drive are more likely to stay Sunday night and go home on Monday.

Hours are limited for paddock access. Now that I think about it, there's a fairly good chance I will not be there in time to drop the trailer on Thursday. Does anyone know how late we can drop?

So clue me on these 130+ number campsites we're in. Are they big enough for the tow vehicle and trailer? Or does the trailer need to go to a trailer lot somewhere. I was planning on keeping it in the campsite.

Not comfortably. Trailer goes in the paddock. And miata or tow vehicle comes to camp.

Richard, you can most likely get away with it Thurs night but after that you'll want to leave it in the paddock.

Dang. Lol. Put me down for a +1.

Also, I got some menu snaps but failed at framing, so most of the prices got cut off on the right side but I feel it gets the point across.















Unless there are complaints, I'll call on I dunno, Thursday and ask about the heated patio. Just so we are clear, this is Saturday night, October 7th, call it 7PM? I figure its only fair to give them some warning, and give "you people" a chance to bathe.

Another point about parking. Last year we had multiple non miatas in the parking area between the tape. And it got really crowded. If you have friends/family coming please ask them to park on another row or something so we don't get jammed together.

We're out for the MT dinner... signed up for the FM dinner/party on Saturday.

As far as paddock access Thursday night, I called and talked to one of the MRLS admin/track rental folks about a month ago, and they said we should have paddock access Thursday night to drop trailers. I didn't specifically ask about times. He said if all else fails, trailers could be left in the "lake bed" overnight. I'm not sure where exactly that is...
