I am not into the sport like I use to be. Seems like after Earnhardt died, and all the drivers I grew up with started to retire, and the birth of the multicar teams, I lost interest. Every once in a while, I will catch a race. Just doesn't seem the same.

Wish i was but will have to settle for watching it on TV. Going to New hampshire in July on the bike with a buddy to see both races. Can't wait for that. Would like to take the trailer down there but unfortunately have not hit the lottery to buy a bigger truck yet.

Already hit Bristol and Richmond this year. Headed to Dover on Wednesday and have plans for New Hampshire.
Looking forward to it!

This might be a good place to ask. Anybody know of a track where you can:
- Camp with a view of the track
- Get at least a 30 amp hookup
- Not totally break the bank
We are in Cincinnati so would like to be within a days drive of that (Kentucky, Indianapolis, Michigan, maybe Chicago)
Would have my family (wife and kids) so not a guys weekend.
Thanks!

DH wishes we were there but instead we washed the TT this weekend.
paulmlac- I believe Charlotte has hook ups in the infield but it is far from cheap to camp there. When i chevked out Bristol online, it appeared to be a choice of no hook ups nearby, super expensive hook ups nearby or a little distance to some still expensive (but comparitively cheap) sites w/ hook ups.

We're near Michigan International Speeday (MIS). I hear it's one of the nicest in the country and plenty of camping. I've only been to this track, so I can't compare. Here's a link:

I was at Darlington a few weeks back (PIC"S IN Album) It was the first trip with the new PU. This was the 19th year in a row with good freinds.
