    Can't wait to get there! We'll be in late tues thru sat am.

    Considering the pain & suffering it took to get our rooms in January, I expect that virgin sacrifice may be the only way to book a room now.

  3. I'll be there late Sunday. Leaving central Illinois on Saturday morning so I'm sure I'll be a tired pup by the time I get there.

    a bunch of Road Devils will be at the bend Sunday afternoon until thursday or so. Just look for the circle of campers and tents with a huge party going on inside of it all.

    "...but I can't help thinking the SCTA has screwed with tradition,..."

    Depends on how you define tradition. The SCTA has been racing there for 60 years. How long have the non-racing, profilers been meeting at the Nugget?, maybe 5 years. I will usually spend 30 minutes at the profiler deal. Thats enough for me.

    The racing will continue no matter if you show up or not. That is the point of the whoile excerise. I sure won't miss you.

    I've been thinking about Bonneville a lot. I thought I would bring this back up for any newcomers

    We'll be there Sunday through Friday morning. The "extra" rooms that were supposed to be available didn't work out. I don't think anything changed for the better by moving the dates.
