    If you are dragging hard parts you are doing it wrong. :D
    When I was there a couple weeks ago, a groundhog ran across the track about 30 yards in front of me in between the "Ss" and going up to turn 5, got almost off the track and then stopped. i was slowing praying the little dummy did not run back across the track as I passed by. Fortunately he continued off the track as I went by. :eek:

    I will be there Saturday, intermediate group...I will be hitting up a coach or two for some help with body position. So whats the real deal with power? I know a few years back it was non-existent but hearing now there is a decent amount of 110? I will be rolling in late Friday with a cargo trailer and unfortunately my little 2000w gen won't power my ac but bringing it for my tire warmers.

    I would not call it abundant or decent. A couple outlets at each pole, but only a single row of poles.

    Wow... You Don't really realize how much space bikes, gear, generator, etc takes up until you try to load 3 bikes worth of stuff up. Pretty much loaded up and ready to hit the road tomorrow after lunch. Just got a few smalls thing left to load that i couldn't get to due to South Carolina's awesome summertime weather... Humid AF with instant thunder showers from no where.

    Looking forward to a great time chilling Friday, and riding Saturday.
    Thanks to everyone who has posted up and help answer questions.
    Be safe,
    Gene-o-vanelli
