At the monthly EXEC meeting earlier today, we discussed the possibility of camping at the track during our RTR DEs.

Some tracks offer this option, some don't but it is pretty popular amongst club racers and it is another option that we may be able to offer our members if there is sufficient interest. The track would charge us for the privilege and we would pass this cost onto drivers via a nightly fee, probably using motorsportreg.com. However before going ahead, we need to gauge how much interest there would be to ensure we wouldn't lose money. Nightly fees are yet to be determined but I imagine it would be in the $35 -$50 range per night.

All thoughts / comments/ input welcome including how much other clubs charge to camp. This may work, or there may be no interest at all - we won't know until we hear from our members. However, your Executive committee is doing their best to maximize your fun, enjoyment and value for money while at the track so all ideas are welcome

Why would I pay $35 to $50 to sleep out if it costs me $65 at a cozy motel? Don't get me wrong, I love to camp and have a good time with a bunch of driving friends. Darren is right! The tracks are trying to pull something over us. The track and the padock is rented for the weekend, period....... so, I'd like to see someone kick me out of my little PUP TENT (that is all I can fit into my 911 besides my emergency tools and a folding chair) during the middle of the night. I protect my home from unwelcomed visitors.

Hope that you guys don't plan camping on a day like today! hock:
