I have never been to this event but, my schedule looks like it might of cleared up last minute ..

Since its my first time , is there a thread posted with the basic info ?

I see where there is no camping at the track .

What years of vehicles is it limited to, (I assume 64 ?)

Do you have to be pre-registered to attend ?

When / where does most people gather pre-post event ?

I have a fairly large enclosed trailer, is parking in the area limited so I would not be able to find a place to park ?

Any help / advice would be much appreciated ..

Thanks

the hotel lot is party central!

the track's getting more and more crowded, so the smart money is on getting big trailers there early...

My trailer has my sleeping arangements built in ..

So, I was wondering if in the area of the motel , there is parking area there (I'm sure its going to be over run but, thought I'd ask .

Even if within walking distance ..1/4 mile or so ?

depending on how big your talking i may have room at my house.im half way between the hotel and the strip. sams club is right across the street from the hotel, or you could head up 44 1 more exit and go to the pilot truck stop.

The hotel parking lot is huge, someone posted pictures of it a few months ago on a thread. The convention center has its own lot. I know our rig is about 80 feet long.

Just because it hasn't been brought up but there is a KOA not that far away from the host hotel. We stayed there for the first few years in the motorcoach. Worked out really well.
