Yea. Got the car in and now I am going after a motor wednesday. I am thinking about getting a 3.8 out of an early '90s T-bird SC.

So far it is a go for Fallon. Still waiting for Vacation approval though.

Right on - Still don't know what Gail and I will be doing for accommodations. We were going to rent a trailer from Sierra RV over in Reno but they aren't open for returns on Sundays, so it's probably going to be Motel time.

No, I haven't. Guess I should get on it. It's gonna be a shot in the dark though, unless I can get a recommendation from someone I trust.

What type of hotel are you looking for? The Holiday Inn Express is the nicest one in town. If you want an authentic old west experience, the Overland is the place. I would stay away from any of the other locally owned outfits, but there's also many chains that are, well, average I guess, Motel 6, Super 8, Comfort Inn, Best Western, etc. If you've stayed in one before they're pretty consistent with what you'd expect anywhere. Motel 6 is technically closest to the track, being on the south end of town, but it's still 12 miles out.

You can camp in the pits at Top Gun, I'm just not sure if they open it up Friday night or Saturday morning. If you're looking to stay in an RV park I would recommend the Fallon RV park over the other one.
