Do not despair.

There will be dirt.


Only because we aren't driving 200+ miles just to get "there", it won't be as much dirt as you might have had say last year, although last year was only a little -so this still might match last year... it won't be as much as some previous years, that's all.

I think it needs to be Sept 27,28.

Other option might be Oct 11,12, but the weather is usually a little better for camping in September.

Ah.. I'll just be coming back from the honeymoon toward the second half of September. Hopefully I won't be too swamped with work to make it.

Almost every year we have a conflict with a rally cross, although anyone wanting to do both should be able to this year- just skip the campout and run back to Antioch Saturday night, we'll only be about 2.5 hours away.

But like every year, I come back to which would you prefer, paying a bunch of money to sit around and wait your turn for 2-4 minutes of seat time?

Or spend a whole day exploring fun roads and trying to stay "on time".

For me there is no thinking about it, more seat time is better.

Any plans for a checkout run, Pete? Roo and I might be interested.

I just can't do the camping thing... I have a bad back and hips, and sleeping on the ground makes it worse.

This will be a tough one this year as I've got a chance in the FRX series I actually want to do both, including the campout.

Well- depending on how early in the AM you want to beat it out of there, and how late they'll let you show up at Antioch, who am I to say you can't?
