Their schedule has a points race for that night.
I am going to get with track and varify times so we can all make plans.
Usually they do not charge the Vw folks to come in and go park n in the field. _________________ Kathy Jacobs

We have talked to the track about their Saturday activities on May 20th.
They don't know when they will be done, but all VW folks will be let in at no charge to go to the backfield to camp. So if you are getting vendor spot, the later the better. You most likely will have to wait until the racers to leave before you can park. We will be there as well and will make sure that we get the swap meet parked in our new layout to get that started. So PLEASE don't come in and drop your trailer and leave. We want to get this new layout in place to make room for everyone and get the swap area to flow better.
If you have any questions, just let us know. _________________ Kathy Jacobs

do you have any kind of drawing/map of this "new layout"?
i know this is the reality of having an event at the same location the day before, but it really sukz to have to wait for the drag racers to leave to get set up, so knowing where to go beforehand would help in case by some miracle they are not in that area too late into the night. _________________ thebucket: I invested in hoodride, now DBD won't return my call?

Yes we do. I am in the process of getting it ready to post.
The track has events every Saturday night. So this is no different.
We are allowed to come on in, but if a spot is not open yet you will just have to wait. They shouldn't be running to late, so will not be too much of an issue. _________________ Kathy Jacobs

Layout for event this Sunday
We have mentioned earlier that we are making some changes to the way we park everyone at the event. These are just minor changes, but allows for better flow and more parking for both show and swap meet. Please be sure to share with your friends and if you have any questions, please ask.
Show cars - We have expanded the area to include all of the third grassy area. We are always running out of room, so the swap meet from that area will be moved further in the field. After you enter the gate, proceed to the left, there will be someone there to collect your $10 (show entry fee) and give you a registration form & dash plaque. All VWs are welcome to park in the show area, but if you wish not to pay the extra $10, you
can park in the spectator lot to the right as you come in or the next right and go out into the field just past the swap meet.
Please follow the direction of our staff in getting you parked. We don't want you guys to be tight, but need to make it a little more organized to make room for everyone. If you wish to park with your friends, you are more then welcome, just please arrive together. After you get parked, proceed up to the RV by the game room to register. If you have already pre-registered, just let us know at the table.
Swap meet - We will be extending the area out into the backfield, so we will have more room for swap meet. As you can see in the photo, we need the space from that last grassy area for show parking. But we have a large amount of field to use in the back for our vendors, so we are going to take advantage of that. Once you pay your fee at the gate, proceed to the left. You will then be directed down the vendor road to your right and will be parked as you come in. Please be patient and
allow us to get you parked. We will have pre-show setup after 6pm, or as soon as the tracks event is finished. You may camp in your vendor spot, or go up on the top of the hill and camp with the rest of the campers.
Pre-show setup on Saturday after 6pm is open to everyone. We will be getting you in the correct space and collecting for Sunday's event. If you have a large trailer with show cars or even swap meet, we do advise for you to come on Saturday or first thing Sunday morning. Sunday mid morning is quite busy and can get a little tricky to get big trailers in. If you have a show car in a trailer, we advise you to go down the first road to the right and find a spot to park truck and trailer, so you can unload car and bring back up to the show area. We don't have much room up in the show area to maneuver with people constantly arriving.
If you have any questions, please let us know. We are trying to make things go as smooth as possible to make it a great experience for everyone.
Remember your tickets you get at the gate, double as a door prize ticket. Just write your name on it and place it in the door prize bucket at the registration table.
Saturday setup at 6pm-11pm
Sunday
- Gates open at 7am for vendors 8am for spectators
- Registration opens at 8:30am
- Event shirt sales start at 8:30am
- Judging will begin at 11am starting at the first row closest to registration table.
- Registration ends at NOON
- Time runs for Racing begins at NOON
- Eliminations begin around 2:30
- Show Awards begin around 3:30

Just got word from local, that Farmington road exit off 1-40 is closed for remodeling. Along with single lanes around that exit with major delays. VW guys will need to avoid I-40 if all possible. They will need to use hwy 601 in Mocksville or hwy 801 Burmuda Run to get to the track.
Please pass along to your friends! _________________ Kathy Jacobs

despite the misty conditions and the couple very short times of light rain, the swap was pretty big, and there were a good number of show cars. lots of people, especially later in the day when it was overcast, but dry.
the different swap lay-out was ok, but there was a large area the wasn't filled, while the excess filled up the road (like it has in the past). seemed a bit challenging to get everyone parked in the new configuration, especially as the rows filled up.
had a good time, looking forward to the fall show! _________________ thebucket: I invested in hoodride, now DBD won't return my call?
