Used to tent camp when I was motor cycle racing. Good old days of a two stroke as an alarm clock! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Good job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Very cool. I remember race event trailer camping, mostly in Alaska (a very different and happy kind of club racing). And also race event cheap motels, usually with a bunch of friends in the same motel. Both were fun.

This was my track "camping" setup for several years when I vintage raced a Formula Vee. I miss this rig! The Motorhome, BMW and FV are all sold.

Wish I had some pix from when my dad and I would take either his 914 or mine when we went to Road America back in the '70's and would camp near the track. We took all our sleeping bags, tent, cooler etc and packed everything in the two trunks with no real issues. My dad was a master at packing.

People at the camp site would ask where our trailer was...

so didn't get as many pictures as I had wanted.
they said 90 cars registered.

it was hot...
like over 100 degree's hot.
attrition was significant.

I'm guessing by the end of sunday there were 30-40 cars still running.

we had a great time.
car ran hot.
but still had a fun time

motor is getting a bit tired...
but still ran solid.

I remember Hallet,OK

Multiple years of $49 dollar a night / cheap hotels full of racers. It got kinda rowdy. But fun spirited

I thought all FV racers towed (and camped) in old school buses. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
