Todd, I think everyone just kinda said enough! 5-6 years ago we could get as many as 20+ at some races, but last couple of years' outside of Gainesville they might get 3-4 anymore. Not worth it.
Who's going to Bristol?

I will be there Sunday and will be easy to spot. After the first nitro car whacks the throttle just look for a guy standing with a woman with wet pants. My wife is a nitro virgin. She ask me yesterday if I thought she would need ear plugs then wondered why I was smiling.

Yeah probably. There is free parking over there if its open (White Top Rd-right hand side of 394). but not sure what vehichle passes can get in that gate. If your coming from JC and stay on 11E you will get to the track entrance right when the 2 lanes start. (think its the south gate to speedway). YES there is a bridge out right in front of the speedways main entrance. NO I personaly dont think it will be a problem. I drive through this everyday, and they will have a lot of it cleaned up by thursday.

Hey Joe,
You won't regret attending this event someday. The weather was ALWAYS bad in late April when they used to hold this race, but now that it has been moved up (actually moved forward?) 3 weeks into the latter half of May, the weather should be much better...although rain is always possible anywhere and anytime in the East. It's not like the Southwest where you get 7-10" of rain for an entire year. Our friends in the North Carolina mountains which are only 50 miles from Bristol have always told us that April was a bad month to visit the area as the weather can still be freezing or at least quite cold and possibly rainy....and they WERE right! My vacation to the North Carolina mountains and the Bristol race were washed out in 2005 due to rain on Friday and Saturday and we had to leave for home on Sunday or I could have stayed and watched what turned out to be a pretty good race. Hope this years race is stellar. The weather in Charlotte this past weekend was great most of the weekend although it was rainy on Sunday morning. Temps were cool and a nice reprieve from the heat of Florida.
