Camping... That's when you go to the hotel and the wifi doesn't work very well, right?

Any idea if they're assigning paddock space this year like they did last year?

Last year we all met up for breakfast on Friday but we were all in the area for the car show picture thing on the hill. Saturday probably won't work this year seeing as we all need to be in a drivers meeting in the AM.

What's the consensus? Keep it here? Take it to Facebook?

I hope not, but then I have no idea. Who do we know that is organizing the event? Is Keith still involved?

Yes, Keith is still majorly involved and I'm pretty sure Rick is still the big cheese. AFAIK, the track day is still being run by Doug @ TrackMasters (they've done all of the previous ones). I'll ping Keith and ask him.

I'm still wondering if the range will be open on Fri/Sat/Sun that weekend.

What exactly is "doing Monterey stuff" ?

Keith says the assigned paddock parking was a one-off thing for last year because of the size of the event, and this year it's back to first-come-first-serve.

I plan to get there Friday afternoon to drop off my trailer & Miata. Staying at the hotel Fri/Sat nights.

<p>Did he say when it will open? We should see how many spots they will let us block off with cones/tools/chairs.</p>
