The first few days in the week aren't very spectator orientated it sounds like (Wil, correct me if I'm wrong)
I'm thinking most of us would arrive thurs night, June 23rd (i'm coming in on wed to see family the day before)
Friday June 24th. Hang out for lunch, Attend the Fan Fest block party in Colorado springs 5-11pm for the event.
Saturday day - Wil is preppin', we are off exploring. Sat night, group hangout grillin and such?
Sunday 3am, hill opens if you want to go up. Once you're up your stuck there forever. haha public driving up closes at like 7am. Then it's the race day!
fly out monday afternoon? denver airport is about 1.5 hours north
tuesday is probably a cheaper flight due to the traffic. I may just stay an extra day and hang out and explore some of CO on Monday.
Official hotel http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Re...ls_Motel-Cascade_El_Paso_County_Colorado.html They are old school and don't have a web site. ((719) 433-3914) but you are free to stay where ever you want. There is no discount/etc due to the event weekend. Suggest you book asap due to many places probably filling up already.
edit: Awaiting confirmation from Wil that this is the correct place and has vacancy
The Cast:
@civicious is racing the IDB/HondaSwap CRX up the climb! https://hondaswap.com/threads/finally-back-in-the-garage-part-deux.527866/
@Briansol I'm in, will be visiting family the day before.
@Matts96HB is interested.
@get_nick is 70% in
who else?
Bring warm clothes/ hoodies/hats/gloves.etc. The top of the mtn will likely be freezing, even in summer if you plan to go up. If you've never been at high altitude, be aware that if you are not in decent shape, walking may make you pass out. Hit the gym fatty.
If you plan to drive the road, make sure your car has good brakes!
oh, and I call shotgun in the GTR if Matt drives out
