Another Thunder Shootout post Anybody interested in splitting a hotel room (please no offers to sleep in the same bed with any of you guys <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> )? I'm trying to save a few bucks.
I'm not sure if I'll just stay Friday night, or Friday and Saturday.

Re: Another Thunder Shootout post George, Just a heads up that when we stopped by the hotel nearest the track last week, they were already 90% booked for Nov 1 and Nov 2. They only have 60 rooms at that one, but there are other hotels about 20-30 mins away.

Re: Another Thunder Shootout post George,
We called the hotel Friday and got a room for Friday and Saturday. Sorry, I am also sharing a room. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
You have to come to the Shootout and you have to stay Saturday night. There will be one hell of a party Staurday night after the racing. <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />
Iam sure we can find someone to share a room with ya. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Re: Another Thunder Shootout post Anybody have a room already and need a roomate? I don't want to sleep in my truck! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Re: Another Thunder Shootout post George,
If you can't find anywhere to stay, you can stay with Tracy and me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
No need to sleep in your truck. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Another Thunder Shootout post George....if you pay for the room, I'll share it with you <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Wish I could go man. Just too darn far IMO. How much will 1/2 room be?
16-hour drive from Dayton, OH. If I could rent a 2-car trailer and an RV, I could come down with a friend and split the driving. I can prolly borrow a trailer, but driving that far by myself would be a PITA!

Re: Another Thunder Shootout post Well, right now it looks like my next door neighbor is going to go with me and go 50/50 on the room. Too bad I don't have a two car trailer so we could bring his car for the bracket race <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Another Thunder Shootout post George iv looked at some hotels about 30min from the track and its looking like 65.00 a night in donaldsonville La. <img border="0" alt="[boring]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_zzz.gif" />
Re: Another Thunder Shootout post I would call the hotel chains' reservation line directly. Many times, the online room brokers will be sold out, but that is because hotel brokers buy up the rooms in blocks, and don't have access to all the rooms.

Re: Another Thunder Shootout post Ok, I know this is a little off topic but does anyone know if you can run in the Bracket class AS WELL AS in one of the other classes? Or do we have to pick one or the other?
Thanks!
Priscilla
Thanks!

Re: Another Thunder Shootout post Yes, you can run in both. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Another Thunder Shootout post I'll probably be running the bracket race and Pro Stock myself...
The rules for the bracket race are sort of fuzzy... Are electronics allowed?

I will have to have my delay box in the car for the heads-up class I'll be running (P/S), since it controls my transbrake.
Will I be able to get by in the bracket race if I'm not using the box/brake? It will be impossible for me to remove/reinstall everything between rounds of two different classes. I could disconnect the transbrake solenoid, which would render all of the electronics useless, but that would still be a PITA to get underneath the car to connect/disconnect the solenoid.
I could leave the box powered off for the bracket race, and have an official at the starting line verify it, or have someone watch to make sure I leave with both hands on the steering wheel.
If it's going to be too much trouble, I'll just not run the bracket event. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
