NICE...Is this the first time camping for you? -
Re: 4 nites at the races
Scepter, yes, I have always wanted to make a couple days and I worked it so that I can see the whole event, pit passes and all. I may only be feeding my family top ramen for the next few weeks, but hey at least they get to eat

Re: 4 nites at the races
You'll love it.The first time I stayed on site we arrived late fri night.Then early sat morning Dago and Skip were up over the field at about 2500agl.It sounded real cool because there was an overcast and that merlin was winding out pretty good.Comment

Re: 4 nites at the races
every year that I have gone I have gotten there by 530am and seen the same, there is always someone who makes a test run. Love it and I think it makes your coffee taste better to plus it helps the wait till the gates open.

Re: 4 nites at the races
I always thought the best part of camping on-site was the evening flying.
Have fun!Comment

Re: 4 nites at the races
A great place to be if the wind is not blowing. No pa system. No skip & flips. Just old airplanes, old friends at the greatest show on earth. Stop by Leo and have a beer with us. ssComment

Re: 4 nites at the races

Re: 4 nites at the races
Bob, you gotta be there for Monday and Tuesday!!!! They are the most exciting days! Bring a scanner and a stopwatch. And remember that all payments to the Catholic Church are considered donations and are tax deductible...I will be there the first Saturday on the red Motorcycle in the big dirt lot next to the Church for nine nights. (the church sells great showers, thankfully)Comment

Re: 4 nites at the races
Is Father O'Malley the Priest with the lawyers' degree and CPA who the Church brings in to monitor the fund raising? He is quite a charactor...
I often see him near the church entrance in the dark at 6am when I go in for breakfast and he always kids me that I am "late".Comment

Re: 4 nites at the races
Actually, I forget the priest's real name but I think we're talking about the same man. Very nice person......BComment

Re: 4 nites at the races
Yea, he really is a good guy...didnt know who he was and I kidded him back in a fun way every day and am really glad I didnt give him too much grief as one day he walks in during breakfast and folks called him "father" and I almost fell out of my chair!Comment
