We're going Ron, I've got 4 big races scheduled starting labor day weekend, first 3 are at Bristol. Mopar Thunder (3 days, 2 classes), DER Series bracket race (2 days, 2 classes), and Pinks All Out. Good thing I live close to Bristol, huh (1 1/2 hr drive)
Looking foreward to meeting some you there.

Hope the shirts bring good luck at all those races, you're gonna wear that new engine out

Labor day weekend. Hope that doesn't kill the crowd. 3-5th.
Ron, I've been the last 2 years, all on labor day weekend. My understanding is this is 11th year. Good crowds last 2 years.
One thing that might help is they race fri test and tune, all brands with anyone welcome. Then Mopar only sat and sun, giving those that travel mon to recover from racing before going back to work/school tues.
Looking foreward to meeting you.

Brian, sounds good. Right now I am planning on camping at the track, but have an uncle coming that probably won't want to do that because of some health issues. Any hotel recommendations? Look forward to meeting.

Always wanted to go to Bristol for this race, but we aren't going to make it. Too many other things going on right now.

Dang Russ, I thought it would BEE done by now. Anything I can do to help?  
Also, if you don't get it done this week, and you want to make some 1/4 mile laps before Pinks, Bristol is haveing bracket races 2 weeks after Mopar show (2 weeks before Pinks) and they have two 1/4 mile classes.

Ron, I'm going to go back and forth and sleep at home. I'm not aware of any motels near the track. You have to go back to the interstate, to Kingsport or Bristol, Va I think. I'll check and if I find something, I'll let you know.
