As of right now I'm planning on being at da grove. What time do they open?
I might call off Tuesday and head out to LORP.
Uber. Mega. SWEETNESS!!!
Go get 'em!!!!
If anyone is planning to spectate get to the tracks early so you can see all the quick class cars run (they typically let them run first before us slow cars) and come hang out. To be completely honest since there is a 200-300 mile drive each day if we make one clean pass, we probably wont wait to make another one so it may be "one and done" strategy so if you come late, you may miss it!
As Pat said, we're all at the last minute crunch, but should be ready to go!

I would recommend it. I think gates open around 8am. If it is the same as '13, spectator parking is a bit of a walk from the pits.
Also, HotRod posts the directions online. So it is possible to get to one of the check points and watch the cars come through. Especially if you are lucky enough to live not far from the route. Seriously, people come out on the route and spectate as the cars drive by. So if you live somewhere between the tracks, keep an eye out (day/night before and day of), the route is usually not direct...
I am going to SERIOUSLY miss running DW ( I plan on driving to LORP in my Shadow.)
See you guys Tuesday.
I have to be at work at 6:30am, not sure if I can duck out after my meeting. Probably need to work and make the money
If you guys need assistance on the way to LORP let me know.
Didn't realize it was drag week now. Pic from hot rod. Good luck to all. http://image.hotrod.com/f/143860754+...inspection.jpg

You can see the guys run at around the 5:04:00 mark. James ran 10.89 @ 130 mph - JT ran 11.0 @ 138 mph - Pat broke but come back later and ran a 11.99 @ 115 mph. Very cool! Not sure if they ran more, that's all I seen.
