ROOM ALERT!
I have a reservation at the Hampton Inn, arriving on Thursday, leaving Monday (4 nights), for a single-bed room, but will be sharing a room at the Quality Inn instead.
So before I release the reservation, I am offering it here... total was $534.00 for 4 nights...

It sounds like there's a convoy headed down from Seattle, you might be able to hitch a ride with someone.

No track lap before the race this year.

[Duane Black]

No track laps, but watching a race from the garage sounds entertaining

[moparstuart]

Well looks like ill be headed home about 5 hours earlier   , then i thought

No track lap before the race this year.

Man, this really sucks!   Was really looking forward to this.   

[birdsandbees]

I figured they'd let us track lap and then park us in the garage area, I guess not. Long haul for a car show.. but I get to meet you guys!  Any news when we're going to find out if we need our hotel reservations? I see the update is asking for "entry applications" again, I suspect we don't have to do this again.. 

[BS27ROB]

That's really disappointing, almost makes me rethink whether it's worth the trip.

[Aero426]

If you have NOT ever done the lap at Talladega previously, you might feel disappointed after reading the news.     However, compared to riding around on the Talladega track apron,  the deal at Atlanta on Thursday blew the Sunday pre-race lap away the last time around.    I think anyone that did Atlanta the last time will agree.   So, I see it as really a minimal loss.    

[Aero426]

The infield parking deal is at the truck series garage, which is the original 1969 garage area.    It is adjacent to the new fan zone.   With the cars piled in there, the atmosphere should be electric with some good foot traffic to see the cars.   When we were at Indy in 2011 parked inside,  we saw all kinds of interesting team and NASCAR people coming over.  

The covered pavilion in the fan zone is 35,000 sq feet and has a 40 foot big screen.    There are concessions and a bar.    The common area has access near victory lane as well.   For $30 a head to get into a Cup race, it's a good deal.

Thanks for your perspective, I've not been to a Reunion before and from pictures I've seen it seemed to be a highlight.

We're not interested in sticking around for the race, so is there any reason to go to the track, or can we even get in without a ticket?  In years past we leave when the race starts.

Just trying to figure out how to plan and what to buy when the acceptance comes in...

Dave, you are going to need a ticket to get in the track.     So if you are not interested in watching the start or early laps,  I think there is your answer.
