Highway 5 to 92 is a real nice and easy drive. Word of advice with any big event that pulls in extra people all the small town police and county police step up enforcement along that highway pretty good at night after the races. If your traveling to Osky I'd take highway 163 it's alittle better, but fair traffic leaving Des Moines could be alittle heavier but not too bad.

Hello Racer 84,
We are the Hunnicutt's and will be staying at the same Value Place that was brought to our attention by a fellow "Hoser".After 35 years of attending the Nationals we,too,have become familiar with the area and look forward to renewing old friendships.We kind of lost touch with Des Moines after staying in Knoxville for about 25 years so we will be exploring some new eating places I imagine.
We will be traveling in my black 2008 Chevy HHR which is distinctive by a red stripe and a CARB decal on the back window.Look for us and say Hello.I think we will be hanging around the NSCHoF a great deal.Bud is always smiling (and talking).

If you can get hooked up with those two you'll have a great time!!! I wouldn't be surprised if they can even hook you up with another Aussie or 2 during the Ntls!!!!
