I really want to do DW at least once, after reading MoparBillys tales.
I ran the first Drag Weekend in Arizona, Oct. 2015, and had a blast, met some good people, some from this site, even Billy himself stopped by while we were at Phoenix to say hello.
Being out here in Cali, and most likely driving alone here to there, then DW itself and back alone would be kinda tough, so we'll see.
You could always tag along with someone once you get to DW. As Billy has mentioned, their family and many others have had empty Trunk Monkey seats. I don't think the Aussie Chevelle guys have ever had a hotel reservation booked before arriving, but somehow find a place to sleep.
