Welcome and I would love to see pictures of the car you are talking about.
Rooms at this point for Fri. & Sat. are going to be very hard to get, but it always seems some guys cancel at the last minute and list rooms. There is always a tent, which a lot of us have used the first time. About 1/2 mile north of the interstate on the way out to the salt is the "bend in the road" where hundreds will be camping, most in motor homes, but a lot of tents and I'm always there in my teardrop. There are showers at the truck stop by the interstate or in town, but usually you can find someone that will let you use theirs at their motel room.
Sunday night on you can find a room and maybe Friday and Sat. at one of the casinos if you just show up. Don't wear a "car" shirt if you do this. You want to look like someone who is about ready to loose a couple thousand at one of their tables
. They probably get tired of the car guys that just drop salt on their carpets, so don't say you are there for the racing.
Racing starts at noon on Sat. if Glen got up early enough that day
(don't send us to the back of the line for that Glen). But you will probably find yourself in the pits more looking at 400+ race cars/bikes.
Sat. night is the fireworks and burning VW blocks at the bend in the road, so it is nice to be there the first days of the meet especially if it would rain (I didn't say it) out later in the week. And then a lot of us break and go home early
.
Next best thing to do is try and get a room in Wells, NV now (60 miles west) and cancel if you can find something in Wendover, but I would only get a room over there for Fri./Sat.
c ya there,
Sum
