The Carolina Showdown 2012

[moparbarn]

red roof in greensboro, there are a few right at I-46 (?) by the airport. i'd have to look at a map to be sure, it's all by memory anymore. don't even turn on the gps to get to any of the race sites .

 

[Chilli]

I'll find it Robin. Thanks!!

 

[James E Beasley]

So what do the majority of folks do for accomodations? Greensboro, Winston Salem?

Some folks camp on site, primative style, but like robin said, the closest hotels are 30 minutes away down by the interstate. Red Roof Inn is always low cost, like $40 a night. Just a long drive twice a day!!

 

[Chilli]

How many people ususally camp out? I'd be afraid to be in the woods with you in the dark James.....you being a trained killer and all... :lol:

 

[moparbarn]

a few usually do, mike. ray hotchkin does, if he makes it down this year.

 

[Chilli]

I have a friend with a pop top but he's out of country. I'll just do the haul to hotel. Heck, Kent and I traveled 40 minutes last year just for a camping cabin at the Delmarva race.

 

[RonShaw]

So James and the Loeb gang, we gonna run kneelers? ? ?

I'll bring mine as well......

 

[Buddy Lowe]

hope it dont rain it will be fun getting in or out hope to be there xell or highwater.

 

[James E Beasley]

I'm sure if we show up with 3 or more Kneelers the PTPT Club will run the class.
