Ok, there are some options for lodging. Unfortunately, the campground near the Hard Rock Casino is a NO-GO. They do not allow any toy haulers, or trailered vehicles. I just came from talking with their management and was shut down hard on the idea.

Camping at the track is ok. There are no "real" restrooms, only porta-johns. There is a t-n-t on friday night and our event doesn't start until until Saturday afternoon.

There is also the host hotel, The Clarion Hotel. There is ample parking and is right on I-25. Standard Rooms are $65 and suites are $75 per night. You must reserve your room and mention "The High Desert VW Rumble" by May 24th to receive the discounted rate. You can reach the Clarion at 505-823-1300 to reserve your room.

Sorry that the campground didn't pan out. I'm glad that I found out their rules before everyone got here.

The gates open Friday at 6 pm. It's $15 for drivers and $10 for spectators. Kids 10 and under are free. Go through tech and make as many passes as you want.

Remember too that one of our sponsors, The Dyno Edge, is offering dyno pulls on Friday Evening and Saturday morning. Call Chris @ 505-299-3313 to make an appointment.

we will be rolling in on friday afternoon, camping at the track fri and saturday nights. don't know if i want to push my luck
on a tnt fri, but i guess that will be a game time decision. bringing two quick cars this time, my brother can't get time off
of work, or there would have been three

I just received word that my turbo should be finished and on it's way back to me tomorrow. :snoopy: So it looks like my car will be at the race.
I plan on heading down sometime Thursday afternoon. If all goes well I will do the dyno on Friday sometime and maybe a run or two on Friday night. I will be staying at the track Friday and Saturday nights.

Ernie is talking about a dyno pull also on Friday. Who else is thinking about a dyno pull on Friday?

I should have my stuff back and be calling him on Monday. I plan on being in town Friday morning so setting up a time shouldn't be a problem. I won't be trying for any big HP numbers. I haven't had my car on a dyno in 4 years and I just want to check the Air/fuel ratio and make sure things are working as they should. As for the rest of Friday I'll just wait and see what's going on.

its all that weight hanging over them all the time, just pounds them out.
that's why i go slowww over train tracks, that bouncing up and down just
adds to stressing them. I did mine two years ago and man, what a pain!

i guess it doesn't help either that i've got 35's on it. but hey, at just over
100k miles on stock ball joints isn't bad at all!!
