I talked to a local today and asked what the weather would be that weekend. He said that he is pretty sure that it won't snow and the temperature would be between 50 and 90 degrees, depending on whether it is cold or hot. Ahup!

Great news !! Just got back from Florida after visiting the mother in law and it was warmer in Caribou than Daytona. It will be a lot warmer in July!

Remind me to tell you the Honda joke, Bob. I'm eating my lunch now - and it's not Friday, anyway.

Absinthe.....?

See you all there. I sure hope the lobster feast is back on Monday and that I can reserve a bunk there Sunday night, assuming Brenda is willing to share again!

I just booked a room with 2 queen beds for fri and sat night at the Hampton Inn. I will post closer to the event if the 2nd bed is available to cut costs. By the way, I had much better success with room availability and rates on the Hampton Inn site versus what I saw on Expedia.

Hello Milton,
We're working on putting our tow together for Loring. We need 2 rooms for Friday and Saturday...
Where is the Hampton? Close to the base?
Thanks.

Presque Isle is a few miles south of Caribou which is the closest town to the base. I stayed at the Caribou Inn the first year and it was ok though the big atrium pool area smelled too strong of chlorine to hang out there. It does have a restaraunt and bar onsite which was ok but nothing to write home about.

The Hampton Inn in Presque Isle was just being finished the 1st year so I stayed there last year. It cost more but it is new and comfy and the management tried hard to make our stay enjoyable. A few employees checked out our event and had fun there. The Hampton Inn did have one group of racers book 6 rooms and not show up or cancel and the Inn lost some money due to turning people away so they may not do a special deal for us this year. No bar but they sold beer for consumption in the lobby area only and there is a nice pub right down the hill. There is also a subway, coffee joint and Walmart across the road to cover other needs and a few nice restaraunts in town if you want to binge. I didn't last year in anticipation of the lobster feast Monday in Popham Beach!

I ended up booking at the Caribou - they had a "racer" cost that was about 1/2 the regular rate at the Hampton. See you in July.

Just a news flash for everyone. We started a project in late the fall to improve the track. It has been very successful and I am happy to announce that we are expecting a 24" shipment of fresh whitetop today.

And all we get is rain, rain and more rain!
