I was thinking a show up Tuesday and leave Thursday for a one-day Wednesday meet was a bit too short. Had booked Thursday night just in case.

Member Contributer 007 Posted December 12, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted December 12, 2017 Booked for the trailer I do not yet own. I'll probably add a day on the end but have not yet decided. The trailer I plan to own will also be a track day trailer with some sleeping accommodations so I can just sleep the last night in the trailer. It shall be grand!

Warm to warmer. Last year, we had a little rain (on the way there and 1 stormy night) but very comfortable. (F) 80° - 90° during the day: Shorts & T shirts 50° - 57° during the evening: perhaps jeans & a light jacket/ long sleeve If it's sunny - wear sun screen, hat & shades If it rains - wear a jacket & shades If it's cool - wear jeans, a jacket & shades If it's hot - strip down to shorts & your shades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
