Re: 2007 Solo Nationals

Having never been to nats, will they allow me to 'save' spaces?

I believe (unless they have changed the rules since moving to Heartland Puke) that you can get your space and one more.... so if you have 2 drivers, you can reserve 4 spaces. (one for each of the drivers and then one for each driver's friend).

So you're saying we need to bring lots of rope and cones?

Actually, if we plan it correctly it should be all good. Paul/Nick, when you get there just try and map out a location where we can all fit. Keep in mind that most of the people there will be leaving on Wednesday. Hopefully you can figure which classes are running early Tues/Weds and will be packing up early on Wednesday afternoon. Then like John said, mark off space enough space for at least two more. With Paul's truck/trailer, you can probably squeeze a bit more. When I get there on Wednesday morning early, I will fill up that space and again work on attaining two more spots close by. I think that should give us enough space to all park/pit together.

So who's bringing a bbq grill? If so, I can bring brats, burgers, steaks, etc.

I'll bring my big cooler. Of course I'll have Shiner. Any other brand people want? Which girly drinks do you want Fair?

Re: 2007 Solo Nationals

Hmmm...

What size space do you guys want? It would likely be easier for Nick and I to know that and 'stake our claim' than any other way.

Who all is coming? How big a footprint do you need?

Re: 2007 Solo Nationals

At roadraces, if you don't operate out of your trailer then you typically put your trailer in the 'trailer farm' which is farther away. Do they enforce that at nats or not?

They used to at Forbes... parked off to the side of the event site... mainly open trailers.

They only asked people to move the open trailors last year

Re: 2007 Solo Nationals

Hey Guys,

As it stands right now, Heartland Park WILL NOT be involved with allocating paddock slots, so hopefully there shouldn't be a repeat of the major cluster f**k we had last year. The paddock area has not changed, the majority of the space is still grass so plan accordingly.

Unfortunately, HPT is responsible for marking the spots. The last update I got was they've marked off spots that's 40x25. This may change, we're waiting on the national office to make the decision.

The current paddock plan is to follow the same system that we had at Forbes. Each driver is allowed to reserve one additional spot for a friend. If past years are any indication, finding enough contiguous spots later in the week is going to be tricky. The earlier you reserve a spot the better the chances of them being together.

Good info. Thanks Henry. BTW, we need to make sure we save a space for him as well.

Re: 2007 Solo Nationals

Good luck in Topeka everyone!

Still here in Moscow and not getting back to make it this year.
Hopefully the change in venue will break the curse, if there was one in the first place
