Greg, you need to call the track to arrange camping. The way I understood it, it was only available over the phone ahead of time. (No paying cash that night) Let us know what you find out- I camp at 90% of my shows, but this being a first time and the lack of info turned me off....

Called the number listed, first person I talked to wasn't even aware of the VW event, $35 for full hook up, $25 for primitive camping, no reservations needed to camp, you pay that night, entry ticket would be extra


not sure if I like having to pay to camp then pay to get into the show as well. I'm still going to go but I'm longing for a simplier time Smile Maybe they will get the bugs (ha! I crack me up) worked out for next year.

I agree, Greg. I think it's complicated due to the fact Friday isn't really a VW event. It's a V8 drag night attracting about 10,000 people, and VWs are the spotlighted group this Friday. Sat. is all VW. They're giving the organizers a chance to prove they can have a successful show on their property. Hopefully we will, and maybe next year they'll rent the camping area to the organizers for a lump sum, and let them collect $ from us to pay for it all.

I am not running the show this year but from what I have taken in the "bugs" you speak of are the cost to get the show at AMS.

The show organizers have no control over camping or anything Friday night. The Friday night event was just an opportunity to add another activity to the weekend anyway.

I wish they would just rent out the portion of the field for Friday night and Saturday so the organizers could control the camping, but what are you going to do..... and who knows what will happen next year with them losing the spring race.....

Sorry about all the fees but most if not all are AMS..... Rolling Eyes

Clyde and anyone else who wants to go with us, lets meet at AJ's on 78 at 3:45. Steve is driving his 63 and will meet us there too. We'll be going 78 to 138 and GPS and Steve's directions will take over from there.

We'll go to our hotel first, then to the track.
