Has anyone camped at Gingerman. The hotel prices are getting pretty high.

Does anyone know if there is a fee for camping, how much room is available and if there are showers etc. I might just have to live in my car. :bash:

[93svtcobra]

The fee last year for camping was $5 either per night or for the weekend. Showers are on site and are clean and hot.

There are quite a few people staying at the track so you'll be in good company!!

[Snoopy]

Great Fun today!

Seemed like everybody was switching brake pads today

[stang99svt]

Yes I didn't have time to get my wilwood brakes up front on and I really regretted picking some sleep over finding another stainless steal line that I broke.

I did 2 track 20 minutes stints and while the pirelli's were holding up well the brake pads just disinitgrated. I left by 3 on saturday just because I wanted to get back and get some new pads on because their was just nothing left with the stock brake setup. Backs were looking ok.
Second time out I forgot to change my shoes from my race shoes to the sandles as I was wearing and ended up ticking off one of the racers behind me because the brake light was on all the time.

Got some good testing with the new R2K skin I brought over. It wasn't the 3 layer unit I was trying to get done in time but this one was 2 layers and holding up very well.

Many of us 03 cobra owners were ripping through the track and of course HP wasn't our main issues as compaired to say breaking.

In my first track run in the "Blue" group I used up half a tank of gas in no time flat. Refilled at 3.00 a gallon.. 41.00 for 93

Lunch was real great as well and a good oppertunity to speak with many people. Food was great but the cookies sucked and I'm a real cookie person so I was relativity distraught.

[SVT_KY]

I'm with you on the cookie crisis !!! But the Chocolate
Ice Cream was awesome !!!
