Shade and seating at the Track

[jmarsey]

For those of us bringing EZ-UPs to the track, we need to make sure we can really secure them to the ground as it is very "Wizard of Oz" like, in the afternoon. Many ez-ups have been launched & lost there due to the afternoon wind. So let's bring plenty of tie-down rope, weights, and whatever else we can think of so this does not turn into an EZ-Up up up and awaaaay event. If it gets too windy we can just take them down.

Talk soon, John

John/All,
EZ-up makes 0ptional sand bags with pins; I have them but they are kind of a pain. One other thought is to see if Jeremy/ET have large 5gal paint buckets that we can fill with water and use to hold down the tents. We can bring some zip ties and tie the four corners of each tent together so they are all interconnected side by side by side like a daisy chain.

EZUP TENT<>TENT<>TENT<>TENT<>TENT = lots of shade, yayyyyyyyyyy!

Duane,

We may need to be thinking beyond the basic tie down approach. If it gets too windy it is better to simply take them down and not be pre-occupied with the dumb things. They are hard to avoid when they land on the straight at 130mph.

When I was at Knott's the JBL boys used my 10' x 15' and we spent half the time holding on to the stupid thing and worrying about it. It was held down pretty good too. We saw one lift off and land on a car. I'm willing to give it a go but just a thought.
