I've been in Charleston, WV many times and am always amazed at how pretty all the girls are. Up in the "hollers" its a little different story, but in Charleston they have a disproportionate amount of pretty girls! FACT! How deep it goes is beyond my simple mind.

Well whoever does the calling see if you can get the camping near the cabins! Ive got a double cabin under Alex Witte...
IDK what the layout of that place is. Ive been to other camprounds with little cabins and stuff like this, but i am imagining this to be rather large due to the size of the event and the 'drag' strip nearby.

Hopefully im nearby where people can just pop a tent and not all the power/water camper hookups. lol.
Worse case scenario ill just move the truck next to yall and sleep in my cabin.
I dont plan on being in there at any time but for sleep..

You go down in the hollar, and up in the saddle.

Get it right.

It's about a 10 min drive to the drag strip.

The cabins are strung around the property.
2 are by the tent sights.
3 are by the pavilion and 2 or 3 are around the back of the RV area.

The RV area is usually full and usually only 2 or 3 people are in the tent area.

We do the dyno drag in the tent area as well.
Tree gets smoked every year.
It's loving that growth chemicals called CO2, it changes that into oxygen while growing.

is this a good explanation for ya'll?

The best cabins to have are the ones in the back of the RV or the tent area cabins.

The ones by the pavilion can be a bit loud depending on whats going on if people decide to stay up.

Nobody is doing any wrenching anymore though, so its not as big of a deal. We kept it more fun last year and less wrenching.
I think Ziggy got a little pissed he was working on everyone's truck.

Nice! Yeah I was curious how many people actually did wrenching on their trucks over the weekend... It looked like one year they did an entire engine removal.. (not sure what was done while it was out) but i was shocked. Being so far from home I would be hesistant to want to rip my ride home apart that much.

But sounds good. I have no idea what cabin i got. Im pretty heavy sleeper so i wouldnt be bothered wherever i end up

They did an oil pan on platinum pete's truck.

No wrenching that I know of last year.

Was a bit more refreshing.

My guess was either Oil Pan or some crazy turbo/up pipes setup? I couldnt think of any other reason you NEED to remove the engine.

And why refreshing? Not a fan of some wrenching n shootin the bull?
or was everyone all aggravated over the wrenching?

Statements like this make you a target for practical jokes! Watching some of the posters on this forum I might be a little concerned for you. Hate to see you wake up with your truck inside your cabin!

You guys are making me jealous I'm on this coast. Maybe I'll make the drive up to Clays and tour the riffraff factory personally to make myself feel better...
