This rockford i am thinking about camping my brother has a pop up camper think that would be way cool to gather some vintage guys for camping at the track weekend? I know the hotel and everything is cool to but i kinda wanna camp at the track for a night. Any input

Yep! Camping is good, but do a tent! Waking up Sunday morning at 7:00AM after being up until 3:00 to the sound of the starting gate slamming down and the announcer calling the race between Darryl Young and Eric Rupe was a real dreamlike moment. I was up and pumped for the rest of the day. (Eric won).

The tent scene is way too cool.

thats what i am talking about

I have a feeling I'll be sleeping in the dirt...

You can camp far away from the track so you can have a nice and somewhat quite time too.

Hey J why dont you let some of the boys set up camp in your yard?

Is this a trick question?

no seriously I even have a seperate bed for my bikes since the popup has that option LOL. I would want to be a little distance away but not to far maybe past the port-a-potties about 100 yards near the tree line near the road.

Ya lets see how many campers can fit in my 30x30 back yard. And they can all get non stop barking from a the dog next door. Anyone in . I am glad to lend a hand with anything though.

i am still planning on camping

I prefer to sleep in the captain's chair of a motor home stuck in the mud in the middle of the museum.

sounds like the start to a great rockford first order of buisness is to get steven to guide you through the mudd

Brett if im not mistaken this is how i met you some years ago ....

Kevin (raddadoldschooler) and I have been camping in the same spot for years . Theres a secrete to getting the good spot, I wont tell it because i like my spot... lol...

But James if you think you can hang I will get ya in to give camping a whirl....

Super pink - That thing isnt camping its a house on wheels, my at home bed isnt that comfy !

or a closet? was that you?

WEENIE ROAST!!!

Not to mention, you can walk around nekked and no one should see you.

oh great now all the bear hunters will here looking for nick

BFRO

ED asking if i can hang? I am a avid tent camper the only thing i am not good at is starting a fire with no lighter or matches. I think Ashley is going to lay the kabosh on this idea for me she is a comfy bed person who enjoys her complimentary breakfast

Can we still grill out, or will that make the food vendors upset? LOL

I'll probably be there on my own again this year I'll camp out

Do ya know how to squeel Boy? Uhhmmmm Huh?

I'll be camping just like last year!! Lots of fun.

I better not forget my cast iron undies then

One thing I mentioned in another thread, but wanted to mention here as well:

The space you have reserved for your bikes is ONLY for displaying your bikes. It does not convey any rights or dibs on parking or camping on the outskirts of the Vintage Area. That space is, and always has been/will be, under the control of Rockford BMX and the Track Operators, Jake & Candy Karau. If you happen to get there in time to get a parking spot that backs up to your display space, well done...but just because you have the display space does not give rights to the adjacent parking ringing the Vintage area.

It is, by and large, assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, but they have requested that, if you are bringing a motorhome, coach or camper this year, that you check in with Jake when you arrive at the track, BEFORE setting down stakes.

We are extremely grateful to Jake & Candy for their hospitality, and I want to be sure that we do not do anything to make their already-busy National week more hectic than it already is. Please be courteous and deferential to them, and all track workers/volunteers while you're there...and remember that we are guests in this place they call home.

Best,

M

Can I set up my small tent in my display area and sleep there the night before?

Brett if you need a place to crash, hit me up bro, you got the number.
