...For those of us displaying in the FUN FIELD is there a time a place you want to meet so we can go in and park together?
Say maybe 6:45 or 7AM or 7:15AM at the PETRO Station?  I don't know how early this group like to get up.

-Steve

How about at the Nellis Suites Hotel? http://www.nellissuites.com/ Steve and I will be staying there, and it is close by the track (5 to 6 miles). I'm good for a 7:00 am departure. And I'm sure we will all talk more between now and Friday morning. 

Dan

Dan, is it still all good for me and my stepmom to meet you at the hotel and ride to the show with you?

if you don't like the contenental breakfast there is a mcy d's, jack in the box, burger king right down the street on craig roadtowards I-15, there are 3 diferent ways you can get to the track from nellis suites, there's also a sonic across from the cannery hotel (host hotel) and they serve breakfast also.  if you want real food there is a petro truck stop on I-15 at the speedway exit also

Anything going on Friday night (like...later Friday night). I'm leaving L.A. hopefully at 4-5pm...so with any luck I hope to be there by 9-10. I know it's past Cody's bedtime so he's out, but if the rest of you are up to something, I may come out. Otherwise, I'll see you characters on Saturday.

I doubt I will get much sleep tonight.

I guess I'm rolling down to Barstow by myself unless there is anyone from Sacramento to Bay Area that wants to roll with me.

Leave my house at 5:00AM 1 hour 15 minutes to my brother in laws house @ 6:15AM

Leave brother in laws house @ 6:30AM to PETRO Station at 16202 San Luis Dr, Gustine, CA  152 & 33
1 hour 15 mins  Arive @ PETRO around 7:45AM

15 Min for GAS

Leave PETRO for Barstow @ 8AM - Arive before 3PM
1.5 hours extra for gas stops and lunch, 5 hours 22 mins travel time

Leave Barstow with "MoPower Cruise to the Strip" group for Vegas @ 3:45PM - Arive around 6:30PM
2 hours 30 min travel time

Since I'm pulling a trailer I'm not going to be doing 80 down the freeway so it should be a nice leasurely drive.

GOD I LOVE A GOOD ROAD TRIP !!!
