Group of 8 leaving from PA on the 4th, picking 2 up in OH along the way.  Heading to the I-55 weekend in Peveley, then heading to the North Campground in Knoxville on Sunday for the rest of the week.  It will be my 3rd Nationals, 2nd trip like this, and taking my 8 year old son for his first "racecation."  Praying for good weather and no doubt will be a great 9 days.

North Campground Well kept, Shower house very handy, Not as wild as it was 20 years ago but there is still plenty of fun to be had.

County campground out by the High School I'm not sure. Have heard it is a little more quiet. We have stayed here a ew times during the weekly shows and it is nice and quiet and a playground or the kids to go and play.

22nd consecutive for me. Stay at a homea block from the track. Flyin in on the 9th

I will start the weekend off at Pevely for the Iron Man then to Knoxville for the Cappy Classic, then all 4 nights of the Nationals. Best week of the year!

This will be my 36th consecutive.  (have been lucky enough to attend every year since I was 6).

I know there are many in attendance that have made 40+ in my section alone.   Luckily, have gotten to sleep in my own bed everynight the last 21 years.

I'll be coming in late on the 5th. Staying at Vondonslers. It'll be me, my girlfriend, my son and my uncle. Made all 10 days last year but will miss the first two nights of the 360's.

15th in a row for me!  Can't wait.  Wish I could go for more than 2 days!!!

Have to agree with your assumption - I, after many years, only attend qualifying nights now - if results after qualifying would peak my interest, I could opt for internet feed in the comfort of my living room.

Hey Johnny Utah

You wouldnt happen to have room for another was planning the same thing but my traveling partner has become ill and cant go this year ,I stii want to go just hate to drive all that way by myself would love to hook up with someone can help with all expences.

Anyone else from Pa.  I  am very easy to get along with AND CAN GO WHENEVER YOUR LEAVING. 

Attended My first Nationals in 1978, have not missed one since, so this year will be 38 years straight. Leaving North Central South Dakota Sunday for the Cappy, Front Row, and all of the Nationals. Have seen a few changes through the years, Can't wait to get there! Wish the USAC boys were still running on Tuesday!

I'm Heading up from DFW Friday August 5th, hope to Catch final night of the 360 Nats and then Heading home After the races the 14th.  How many from DFW or OKC area heading up.  It's a long tiring drive.  Anyone up for Carpool?

This will be 17 in a row and 21 of last 22. Been staying in DSM/Altoona every year.  Love every trip. Even if Schatz plans to win every race until the end of time. 

Is this heaven?  
No, it's Iowa....Knoxville, Iowa.

48th consecutive for me and 18th consecutive for my son. Not going to be able to make it until Friday, though, unless we get rained out at work, and then I'll try to make at least one of the qualifying nights. If we don't work Saturday of the 360 Nationals, I'm going to try and make that, too. 

First one in 1983.  Have only missed once since.  Hoping to make the Saturday night finale of the 360 Nats and everything after that.  Since MSPN isn't coming I guess I'll be the only one rooting for the posse!  jk

Will be coming over from New Zealand for my first Knoxville Nationals.

Also doing I-55 and Oskaloosa before heading over to PA post Nationals for the USAC Midget Swing and the All-Star show at Grandview.

Can't wait to come over.

Wish I could make it, taking care of 93 yr. Mom. Last year took care of 92 yr. old Mom. Last 4 years before that, went & had a great time!

Anybody but Schatz! (Gravel? Hodnett?)

No serious injuries!!!!!!!!!!!!

Y'all have fun, I'll be watching on the ole Interweb.....

I'll be at the Pa. midget shows too... Path Valley is my fave, drive around the back roads if you get a chance, beautiful countryside. I always go swimming at Cowens Gap Lake before the races, about 20 minutes away.....

First one for me. Bringing my dad. Living out a dream for both of us. Can't wait to experience this spectacle. Should be there in time for the final night of the 360 Nats and then all the way thru the 410 Nats.

From Seattle. We have both always wanted to do this. Dad raced back in the 50's. I have been racing 360's since '84 and just stepped out of the seat this year, so it gives me the opportunity to go to the Nats. My son is now the guy in our car. Told my dad at Christmas that I was taking him to the Nats and he just about fell over.

It seems like the last time the Saturday night race sold out was around the time that Cappy retired. Not sure if that's a coincidence or not. It will be interesting to see if this year's attendance is up with Kendra there for the first time and lower gas prices.

This will be my 32nd in a row. I've been going for all 10 days since they moved the 360 Nationals to the week before. The best recent changes have been the addition of the Capitani race - the best race of the year anywhere for the ticket price - and the reformatting of the Friday night program.

I stayed in a tent during my early years before staying in homes I found through the Chamber of Commerce and on this message board. I highly recommend this type of lodging to anyone considering it.
