Do they still have those showers in the parking lot outside of turn 4 ? Do they bring portable shower units in for the February races there? Going down for a couple days with some friends. My buddy planned on bringing his camper but it needs work so we're looking at our options. Hotel or tent. Thanks in advance. |

I was thinking the same thing John - That Kevin Mc.... he's hard core all the way! If it was me, I'd be roughing it at a Hampton or Fairfield Inn somewhere and still probably complaining that the water wasn't hot enough or the croissant's weren't fresh! |

The plan was for 3 of us to hustle down from his place in SC with his new travel trailer. But his truck needs upgrades ($$) to haul it 6 hours to Volusia. We're discussing getting a hotel but I told him theres nothing nearby and one of us would have to not drink to drive us back civilization. I mentioned camping and it got traction once I mentioned they probably have showers. Its two nights. We'll survive. 😁 |

This how we annually do Pennsylvania Sprint Speedweek! Not for the faint of heart, since it's usually in the nineties. |

Ya bring better stories home if you stay in a tent. 😁 I'm good either way but I'm not opposed to roughing it for 2 nights. I tented it down there 2 or 3 times 10-12 years back. It's a simple pleasure to go to sleep to the sound of race cars finishing off the show and to cooking breakfast at a race track. He does have a nice camper. Brand new. He discovered his truck is not up the the task after a short getaway with the family. If he gets truck upgrades he cant afford to go. |

Get your homies to chip in and do the upgrades, then you have a place to stay for free! I went to Volusia 1 year with Chesson, every night but the last one I was in a t-shirt. Another time when I was working for Mr Gasket I did the trade show during Speedweeks and I remember leaving the show and freezing my arse off, lol. Have a good time either way Kev! |

I'll share a couple of things about Daytona with ya. Ya can't beat the Crazyhorse campground (Google it)25 minutes from Volusia, 15 minutes from New Symerna, clean, safe, inexpensive, and in case of foul weather at the track you can walk 5 minutes to the Farmers Flea Market where you can get next years Christmas shopping done. Or you can fish in the 3 acre pond stocked with big Bass. Or 15 minute walk from the Speedway. AND HOME BASE FOR THE RU21. |

Gene is right, Crazy Horder is very convenient. Stayed there 10 years ago. It's very big and spaciou, no one on top of you and it's pretty calm in there. The flea market kind of reminds me of Larry the Cable guy humor, varieties of interesting people there! |

Okay, just one more Daytona vignette.
For a great spaghetti & meatball dinner which includes a really good tossed salad, ya gotta find Louie's Pizza on Beville Rd. I found it because of a local gal, she knew of it and I'm glad she took me there. I'd gladly take her back for a 2nd date,,,, but I can't recall which escort service she worked for....... |

By a vote of 3-0 we are going the tent route. Follow up when we get back of course. We may have a lifetime of great stories or we may never speak to each other again. 😆 Anyone else try to think of a joke to add when Gene mentioned having a great tossed salad while dining with an escort? I ain't doing it. Nope. 😉 |
