well as most of you know NASA is having their first Nationals event the week of Sept 11-17. at this time, i'm planning to make this event. the drive is 1150 miles for me. my plan is to leave a few days early to ensure i'll have plenty of time to get there just in case i have a mechanical issue w/ the trailer or truck.
would any of you guys be willing to allow me to park my rig and offer a place to crash @ your place for my trip up and possibly a place to look over the car the couple days prior to getting into the track (if i have a couple days to kill!)?
how many of you guys are planning to attend? @ this time, i have 4 crew slots and none are spoken for. i'm sure we could get a few of you guys in on those slots.

a quick look @ the route has me taking I-30 from Dallas TX to I-40 in Little Rock to I-65 in Nashville to I-71 in Louisville w/ I-71 taking me thru Cincinatti and Columbus to Lexington.
if you know of a better route, i'm open to it, and i'll venture a short distance from the route to crash.

thoughts, feedback???

Glenn,

I'm about 70 miles south of the track (in Columbus and right off of the beltway). I have a reasonably well stocked garage (4 floor jacks, electric impact, torque wrenches and a fair amount of tools....we can get most things done). There is a new queen sized pull out couch in the spare room (air mattress/mattress hybrid so that big guys don't feel the bars in your back) and we can usually park a trailer out front. I'm sure you'd be welcome to drop in and check over the car and get some rest if needed. Just let me know the dates that you'll need lodging and I'll see what I can do (I'm out of vacation time, or nearly so, but I can probably come up and crew, depending on when the race is).

You'll be joining a long list of frrax'ers who have stayed here (I hate to say "crashed") already.

Let me know if I can help. And, are you bringing Mitch along? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/drink.gif)
