Jim, Does this mean a name change to 2018?

Glen,

I am going to incorporate some wood panels that are stored in my barn from the old house to the new one, so that I can still keep the 1795 vintage in my new home. It is amazing the size of some of the pine boards that I have on my walls. There are some that are 2' wide and 16' long. I have a few in the 16" wide range that will be getting transferred over to the new home.

Jim, if you're using timber 16 feet long and two feet wide, it shouldn't take you long to build the house then....

How do you manage building a house while racing a needy car like an FIA replica? I'm in awe

Cheers,
Glen

Looks to be a group from NH coming out with trailers.
Anyone know the camping situation at the track?
I am told there are new facilities including showers.
If so there will be festivities in the evening in our area.

Jeff,

I just looked all over the Pitt Race site and could find no mention of camping areas. They do have some parking spots on the edge of the North Paddock that have electric hookups and a quiet hours rule from 8pm-8am. My guess is that those sites are for racers who use a motorhome/camper to tow their race vehicle so that they can stay at the track.

I would suggest calling the track and asking about overnight camping there. It might be possible that towing in a vehicle for SAAC you might be allowed, not sure though. Worth a phone call.
