Okay it's 10 days before the start of Iowa Speed Week 2016. How many Hosers are going this year? I will heading out as early as I can on Thursday the 4th. Can not wait. Christmas in August.
Any other Hosers staying at North Campgrounds? I don't get around to as many walk abouts as I use to but we still try to venture out and do a little visiting once in a while.
Gotta try to catch the infamous BHG when they are in full swing, missed them the last year or two. Just have to remeber to keep telling myself, "Stay away from the Lemonade"! That stuff is Evil! Lmao

Always eagerly anticipate the annual Knoxville Nationals and this will be my 34th in a row. The racing is just a plus but the real attraction to this event is the people you meet to make new friends and getting together with old friends. This year will probably be no exception to the final on Saturday night which, after the qualification nights, is rather a ho hum race with probably Donny Schatz winning. It might just be me but I am thinking the whole Knoxville National thing has kind of been in a slump or at least sliding downhill since Ralph Capitani retired. Is it just me or do others sense this? Everybody have a good time and obey the police and drive carefully coming to and going back home from the Knoxville Nationals.

Camping at Red Rock and this will be 34th in a row. I have missed some qualifying nights in the past due to work but have never missed a Saturday.
Who has the longest Nationals attendance streak going?

I'll be going again this year as I have less than an hour drive to Knoxville.
My streak of consecutive years is around 25, probably closer to 30 as I've been going since about 3 years old. Also been to every front row challenge and wish I could say 10 races in 10 days, as the USAC race on Tuesday was great!
Keep It Real

Probably going down on the 5th to catch two nights of 360 Nationals. Staying with family north of the Lake. I think I'm at about 26 consecutive years this time around plus a few of the very early ones thru 1969.

YungWun24 - For your Tuesday night fix, try English Creek Speedway for the final night of the Outlaw Carts. The open class features awesome racing, and the lower divisions provide excellent entertainment. Went there last year for my first time and had a blast. There were a few of the California drivers who participated in the Nationals who piloted the open class carts...put on a great show!

How are the campgrounds? Been going for about 10 years and never been in the knoxville campgrounds. Pretty well kept? Low key or party central?
