Just wanted to know were everyone is coming from to watch the Nationals, are you driving or flying, how many days and were are you watching from?

State: Iowa

City: Des Moines

Ticket section/Pit/Sweet: 2nd floor of the Hof&M

Fly or drive: Drive the 45 min down the 69, 5 & 92.

Days in Knoxville: I go to every Knoxville race

Driving from Dallas, TX and hope to arrive there on Thursday afternoon.   Don't have tickets yet and one of the guys in my party doesn't know if he can go yet, so we're hoping to buy tickets at the track.   I'm sure that'll put is down low on the back straight.  Looks to me like there aren't any bad seats in the place, although someone may tell me different.   I'll be very excited just to be there.

Na, you'll be fine. We always buy ours on the way into the track after hot laps/TT and end up with decent seats. Might wanna get Saturday's early though if you're picky.

it all depends on how my daughter's mother is feeling about having the 15 month old all to herself for the first time. at the very least I hope to be able to drive out friday morning from Milwaukee. I will probably just buy a ticket there. thinking about sitting on the backstretch this year. Sitting at the HOF doesn't sound too bad though!

Fly out of Detroit with Tommy Bahama on Sunday morning. Stay in West Des Moines. Can't wait!

Flying out of Dulles Wednesday, but I'm a Posse boy  

My 8th consective Nationals which isn't bad considering I'm 19. Never done all week, did Osky once and it wasn't my cup of tea. 

York, Pa

Leaving Saturday Catching Cappy Classic, Oksy, Osky, Knoxville  and some Iowas State fair in between races!  Yearly trip, Love Knoxville!

Leaving Sioux Falls, SD the morning of August 1st for all 10 days. This time of year I get like a kid headed to Disney Land!

Flying out of Connecticut Aug 5. Going to Oskaloosa for the first time. Bring on the BBQ

I1ll leave wednesday morning from cincinnati ohio. I cant decide if Im riding my bike or driving my truck and hauling my hot rod, either way I`ll leave early friday morn and head to the salt flats.

Ive been to knoxville every year since 87 and Ive only stayed for saturday nite once.  But i did ride my bike out a couple of weeks ago for the twin features.

Originally from Sioux Falls, made that trip for many years. Now at the age of 29, will make my second trip since moving to Boise, Idaho a couple years ago. We always camp at the north campground. Good times await...

From outside Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Driving 1125 miles in two days leaving home early 7/31 (have to stop in Indy for a few hours for work related issue).

All 10 days!  Long drive to not take in every race every night and spend the days riding the Harley.

Will be our 11th straight year and spend it camping in Knoxville.

Dirt's for racin' asphalt for gettin' there

Driving from Great Falls Montana a with a 5th wheel camp trailer. Camping at the campground 2 blocks north of the track. I was there once before in 1991 but we stayed in newton then. I am looking forward to spending the whole time in knoxville. My seats are up high under the suites on the frontstretch. Hoping for some shade There. We haven't decided whether to do the Oskoloosa races yet. We are coming right through Sturgis on the way and it is rally week there, so we may get hung up there a day or 2. Lol

Headed down from Sioux Falls SD on Friday the 2nd to get in 9 of the 10. I have done about every combination possible, all 10 days, down for 360's back to work, back down for 410's. Or Sat through Sat. Or down to for 360's, back home to work on car and Jackson and Husets and back down.

This will be the 16th trip for my Dad and I. Have camped in Knoxville our entire time. Still haven't had AC in our camper yet!

Can't wait to reunite with the Section L crew, the Dingus crew and the Turn 3 crew.

Hope everyone has a safe trip out and enjoy the best week of the year!

Flying in from Seattle Washington on the red eye 7/31-8/1. There for 360 nationals final night, Cappy classic, osky both nights and the nationals.  Staying in Pella.

Driving from northern Missouri. 

Will be attending the USA Nationals @ Cedar Lake the weekend of the 360 Nationals, then hitting Capatani Classic on the way home.

On Monday, will be going to the WoO Late Model event at Independence, IA.  Then will head to Osky and Knoxville for the rest of the week.

Wouldn't miss the Osky experience ever again. To witness the wingless cars in the corners is unbelievable. Take a cam corder and rewatch it in the boring winter months. Amazing watching those guys work the wheel. 

Leaving Fremont OH right after the races Saturday night.  Driving 9 hours to Knoxville to catch the Capitani Classic and the races the rest of the week.  Sit on the backstretch where all the fun stuff happens.  This is my 11th Straight year and my dads 38th straight year.  I wont miss this week the rest of my life.  This is the best week of the year just a  head of OH Sprint Speedweek and Christmas.  I can taste the porkloins now!

I like dirt in my nachos and in my beverage
