Just curious (as I'm going to try to make it down in September) - is there a typical hotel where everyone stays or ? Recommendations anyone? I'll be camping most of the way down but may spring for a room while in the area. It's coming up quickly!
thanks,
Frank
Many stay at the Pine Acres.

We stay at the Clinton Inn not bad for the money
Robbie
I booked the Clinton Inn today . :-D
We did too!! :cheers:
Robbie,
I may stay there too ?? I have not made reservations yet.... My crew chief seems to have another situation that may distract his upcoming Saturdays from his Crew Chief obligations (volunteer duties of course :-))
So until we figure out the travel schedule tomorrow, I am waiting to make reservations.

Is the Clinton Inn motorcycle friendly? i.e. safe to park outside?
thx
motorcycle / car friendly ... ask them for the rooms off the rear lot ... they only open it for the "Racers" and you can park your trailer easier there ... okay for the price ... safe and close to everything ... Joe
Thanks Joe. Assuming the weather holds up (fingers crossed here) I meant that I'm planning to ride down on my 'Busa (been years since I've been down the Blue Ridge Pkwy). Good to know they have a back lot though. No trailer!
The ladies at the Clinton (Lou and Addy) are the best and will go out of their way to help. I've been staying there for about 3 years now, but hadn't tried the restaurant until my wife got a late night salad during the June meet -- we'll be eating there this trip also. See y'all friday.
Well, I've had to change my plans and can't make it down anyway. Good luck everyone - be safe and go fast!
frank ... try for the October meet ... I always run best there ... cooler temps
See you all Friday afternoon....
Forecast "improving"

Thanks Joe. I'm going to try....
Sure hope your weather gets better, looks like a wet week in NC and for the drag races at Concord.
Glen, yes the rain has been bad here at my house (approx 135 miles from the track) Yard is so wet can't drive across to hook up my trailer. I did not make it to tech today. Not sure if I will attempt to go tomorrow.
(Last minute obstacles and the weather have teamed up to derail my race plans for this weekend)
I hope to track and the pits dry enough, so those who make it to Maxton can run safely.
Charles
My parts didn't arrive, and Greg Williams (with the ZX14) is staying home in fear of the weather. Good luck to all, sorry I won't make it.
Sorry to hear you're not going Dean. Obviously I am not racing but I was going to go to help out a few people and they all could not make it at the last minute, so I'm sitting home looking at my broken stuff :cry: and wishing I went to the Salt.
Bill
I am sitting at home looking at my broken stuff too. :cry:
Hope everyone has a safe and fast weekend.

Any results from this week end???
I haven't heard much, Ben Beckert went 228 on a turbo Busa, Don Haas went 225 on a turbo GSXR1000, Greg Neal went 174 on a NA ZX636. Hard not to be there, I should have gone just to post updates :)
Not one drop all weekend. Some headwind.
