Way to go neighbor! I would say "grip it and rip it" ! Stop in and make some laps over here if you want and I will buy you some gas for the trip. Sandusky26 just gave me a bunch of free Zook parts, so I want to pay it forward.

And if anyone has a 20 plus Rmz, the tuner Sandusky sent me won't work on an 18.

Racing or just going? Either is awesome, but changes advice.

Damn, is there not a plug above the valve cover on the right hand side? it looks similar to the plug for the fuel tank.

I will have another look, but I couldn't find one to plug into and from a quick search it sounds like they changed the wiring harness in 2020.

Flo has a referral program, sign up 100 people and you get it for free. So, DC is good.

My Loretta advice, hats and umbrellas can be your best friend. If watching on the finish line side or down in the middle not allot of tree's and it will be hot. Plus, the umbrellas come in handy when the rain arrives, and it will.

If possible, camp in an RV with a generator and air conditioning. It will be hot and having an escape of some sort is well worth it if you can arrange. There is nothing on the property with public access to AC.

Make the trip "up the hill" to the little ice cream place in the evening. Tradition and good stuff!

Swimming in the creek is a great way to cool off

Lot's of sunscreen.

If you want to eat remotely healthy or have access to good food, bring your own. Buy a big cooler and stock up on bottled water etc so you aren't buying at the track.

It won't be cheap, but should be a great time especially with this crop of amateurs. With that said, it will be a fraction of what Disney or something like that would cost.

If you need gear/helmets/tires etc, this could be a good time to buy some depending what vendors show up.

Have fun!

Correct...Monday is practice day. You can bet that the first gate will drop promptly at 0730 Tuesday morning. They don't deviate from that schedule, the motos run like clockwork.

Probably another Covid casualty.

Waverly had a terrible flood last year that destroyed a lot of the businesses in town. I'm guessing they are still trying to rebuild.

I am not sure a golf cart is valuable for a spectator......unless you have a pit area/RV you can hang out at. In that case, 100%.

If you aren't camping and are considered a "day tripper" you can't get a pit vehicle pass.

If you arent racing, you just pay someone you know that is racing, for an extra vehicle pass and golf cart sticker. Did this for several years.

If the vehicle is not pulling in at the same time as the RV you can not get a pass. They started doing that a couple years ago.

Report from the track, Sunday July 31. Track is primo. Chance of rain today, but so far so good. Most has missed the track. The rest of the week forecast looks really good. Very low chance of rain Tuesday through Saturday with low accumulation if it does rain. They will be watering the track for sure.
