I plan on leaving Fri Feb 1 and coming home the next Sunday. We'll be pre-running Sat and Sun, maybe some on Mon. I have my fingers crossed that the car will be ready and need minimum wrenching out there, if we don't mess something up pre-running. Our garage location is 217 Rugged Rd, and that's where we'll be camping for the week. I reserved a tent this year, and we'll have a heater in it.
There will be a large camp of Bakersfield people to the left of Boone Rd immediately after crossing the bridge. They're getting out there the Wed before and so will have a prime spot and be easy to find. They plan on doing a lot of wheeling. I plan on wheeling Sat after the race, and maybe on Sun based on what others do.
Hammertown and the pit area will be totally fenced off this year, and you'll need a $20 wristband to get in. Small price to pay for what is offered for a week.
