Is there a favorite place that most people stay at when You're at Bristol? I've never been there. I'm hoping to have the Duster there. Hopefully a couple of the kids can come along, but it might be a little too far and long for them. I will be there regardless of whether or not I've got a slant 6 car ready or anyone with me. I'm planning on leaving Atlanta early Friday morning. Anyone interested in conoying up? Who all is planning on going? See Y'all there. Rob |

Rob, Here is a list of hotels. Personally I would stay in Bristol...shorter drive but Johnson City is not that far away. We will be up Thursday night so look for the Slant 6 pits when you get there Friday. BMS has promised me they will reserve us some parking close to the starting line. If it is like last year the /6 pits were not to far from the 60' clocks....if I remember correctly. Anyone who does not receive the SSRN newsletter and would like to receive a flyer for the Bristol meet please send me an email with your address and I will get one to you when I mail them out.

Does anyone have any recommendations on a good campground in Bristol? I have the list printed out to start calling, but if anyone has any recommendations I'd appreciate it. What do most people do? I would even sleep in the truck there at the track if I could. It doesn't look like any of the youth group will be able to come, so I'd rather just rough it and save some money. Thanks, Rob |

At one time the speedway had an area you could camp out in. This was before the re-modeling took place, not real sure if it is still there. I am sure no-one would say anything to you if you slept in your vehicle and Bristol has showers in their bathrooms. Tom |

Thanks Tom, I'll contact the track to see what's available. I'm not sure the Duster will make it at this point, but I will be there one way or the other. Rob |

Rob, The last two years my wife and I have stayed, at the track, in the pits, with an RV. If you don't mind the couch, and can do without smoking, your welcome to sleep in the RV. |

Thanks Charrlie, I didn't know if you could stay overnight in the pits. I appreciate the offer of the couch. I'm comfortable in the back of the truck. I've got an old futon mattress and a sleeping bag. That's heaven compared to some of the places the Army has had me sleep over the years. I sure am looking forward to meeting all of the people on this list. A great bunch of folks! I'll see you at Bristol. Rob |

Rob staying at the Bristol track is not bad, first class showeres in the pits, been there and done that. This is the best place as for as facitilies go. I am leaving Resaca about 11:30 friday morning so if it fits your time line maybe we can pull up together. ps i pull fast, about 75 mph with the car on the trailer. Hope to be there about 4:30 because that is a good time to get there. Thanks Ron Parker.  gone bagel bagging back faster than his corn pong car |

Hey Ron, I'm not sure my old GMC can keep the pace with your Mopar, but I'll try. Since I'll have better tires and a good rear end on the Duster by then I will hopefully be able to go over 50 mph without fishtailing all over the place. I just have a dolly. I stayed in the vehicle at Reynold's and it was fine. Bristol will be even better since it has showers. I'll give you a call later this week and we can set up to meet. Rob |
