How bad is daytona????

[matt71915]

Ahhhhh.... Daytona.... *Sniff* If I start driving now I might be able to make it this year.... Opps, forgot to grab a extra snake bag, oh now its to late to leave.... Ya, I think its like a 28ish hour drive from me... still tempted to hop in the car and leave.

really? im is SE WI and it took me 18 hours to get to Gainesville...

I wish i could go to Daytona though

from what i understand, the rooms are all booked up. its not a bad drive but if you are a serious looker, it will take you more than a day. maybe someone will let you crash on their hotel couch!

its worth going even for the day!!

I know people who went at the last minute last year and got a room. It was about 10 miles from the show but when you've driven 8 Hours, what's another 20 minutes?

I went last year, and maybe it was because of the weather, but I thought it sucked, and was very disappointed that I even went. Tinley NARBC blows Daytona away, from what I saw last year. Both the show and the party. I wouldn't drive for 14 hours to go back.

Do you know if they'll allow 3 dogs? I am trying to decided whether to leave them with the dog walker or take them with me.

not 100% sure, but i've always taken 2, and ones almost 100lbs and the other is going on 140, on her way to atleast 180. Ive never had a problem there at all.

We just check in, then go to the room - they don't do room checks or head counts. And we just put up a do not disturb sign the entire time we're there. Every other day they hang a bag on the door with new towels and soap, etc. (The past years I've stayed Wed night through Monday).

Sadly - I'm not going to Daytona this year - but I'll be at Tinley - at the LaQuinta!
