Subject:Re: BTW whose westy was on tv at 24 hrs Daytona?

I was there but not in my Westy or on the Infield. In my opinion Infield
camping is pricey and the view is terrible. I did that once. I now camp at
the "Speed weeks" campground on a side road about 2.5 miles away. The cost
was $120 for the weekend ad shuttles are available if you don't want to
walk. They have limited rest room and shower facilities. It is a converted
cow field used as a campground for speed weeks and in the summer for the
July race events.  The Browns are great hosts and there are some activities
including a bon fire and lots of partying on the Friday and Saturday nights.
The bring in some food vendors (carnival food trailers). They do prefer
self-contained units but they have some trailers, tents, and van folks
there. I have camped there in the Westy. I am a regular at the Daytona 500
and Ford 400 at Homestead in November. I am thinking for next year to get
one of the track outer sites for the week. The campground fun is almost as
good as the races. It is a great time.

I don't know, but we may well be at the 2016 race ourselves!
