Battle Creek Speed Fest racing 1/2 Mile at the airport... fastest MPH wins. racing my son Ryan in his 2013  Laguna  and the old man in  5S399  FAMILY TIME

Sxty8kr Having missed very few conventions... I can say what works for me. we pull in with truck and trailer to the track first, register and find a place to park.  we then make that our home for the next few days.  we unload the car or cars and drive to the host hotel. Security was never a problem at the hotels for us, and you will be parking with many others.  We have gotten to the point of friendships...saying that you will need to be at the track early for drivers meeting if you are going on track. My wife likes to sleep in and considers the conventions  a vacation. she will sleep in a bit... and head to the lobby and hitch a ride with other wife's or someone heading to the event....  I found it better to leave, trailer and truck in the paddock  and have everything at the track. food water and shelter from the heat.

If you are using a pick up with the enclosed  trailer, before we went big with the semi and stacker trailers we would use the trailer as the garage every nite and drive back and forth with the pickup.... The advantage  was security from the weather if things turn bad.... (tornado Like winds and everyone huddled down in the tunnel) as it did at Road America a bunch of year back...... Ken Costella
