FYI... Paiges/Homestay price is 40.00 for ALL SDCFANS... Give her a call!

I called Angel Inn, Amazinn Both gave me a price of 49.99 per nite WITH SDC pass discount.. not much of a deal..!!

Well you are close. Angel is $41.99 a night. For 2 nights (including tax) it is a grand total of $93.72 (That is for a "VALUE" room) at Angel Inn with the Season Pass discount. Without SDC pass at Angel it is $120.XX (with tax) for 2 nights. A value room is either 2 queens or 1 king upstairs where there is no elevator. I just called them today. My old Fav Gretna Inn just raised prices from $37.99 to $46.99 (not including tax) - per website/no call made.
---I ran out of time to call Paige today. I will likely call her tomorrow.

SWOOSH-------Please tell me more about the ACE (american coaster enthusiasts). How can I get involved? Is that going on May 5 (Thats what I understood by your post). Call me stupid here but what is the "ERT on OUTLAW RUN"? As you mentioned.

I can usually ride coasters till chickens grow lips, but I dont like making my sweet wife just sit there and wait forever either. That is why I have missed out on so many rides, because LONG WAIT TIMES. (I assume the ACE folks will get privy line advantages though).

ERT = Exclusive Ride Time (as in the ride is only open to ACE and not the General Public)

Sorry folks, cant make it. Didnt buy passes this year, plus, got a big dirt track race that weekend in Wheatland Mo.

cheesehead57 · April 16, 2013, 11:45:18 AM

Sanddune.....we will be goimg to BakersCreek for the spring festival on Sunday and maybe Monday too.

Gilligan · April 16, 2013, 06:04:03 PM

We're still shooting for that weekend, but I'm not sure which day we'll be at park.

qwed94 · April 17, 2013, 12:06:15 PM

still planning on may 4 & 5. Only staying Sat. night. Even though I am off Monday night. We have to be home Sunday night. We plan on being in Branson for Randys show at 2 on Saturday. Probably see Presleys later.
Sunday we will probably hit SDC. See Mean Murphy. Eat -- go home.

DianaGail · April 18, 2013, 11:25:24 AM

We'll be at the city for the 1st time this year on May 4th. Bringing tons of people with us this time. Not sure it's a great idea. lol! I hate taking large groups to SDC. Someone always gets their feelings hurt because they are left out and kids fight. That's ok. It will be a good day if for no other reason than it is a city day!

Well How-Do. I wish you the best of luck at Lucas Oil Speedway that weekend. And lots of prayers for your safety (and your crew). Heck all the attendance for that matter.
What do you drive? Sprint or Midget. I never had the jack to make it that for. I had a street stock for a while. My cousin drove much better than me. He is driving Late Models now. Mostly at Montgomery County.

Dont feel bad about missing SDC. It looks like I wont be at SDC either that weekend. Keep us informed with your race schedule. Even though I sorta broke away from racing, and big into camping. I still absolutely enjoy a night at the dirt tracks. Maybe we can meet at the track somewhere.

How-doFolks · April 19, 2013, 05:50:12 AM

qwed94 -- i dont race, but my father & i do alot of video work for the KC area & post them on certain websites. we go in the pits & do driver interviews & put 2-3 GoPro cameras on cars. very exciting. we do have a youtube channel if ya ever wanna check it out.

i dont mind missing SDC, but i will miss having a chance to meet up with ya all. my last 2-3 trips to The City havent been good, but my brother does have the BAF tickets, we will get there sometime this year i hope.

Gilligan · April 19, 2013, 11:22:10 AM

We still plan to be there; that is, unless it snows - which it's doing in Illinois at this moment!!

cheesehead57 · April 19, 2013, 02:58:48 PM

How Do....my husband used to race Street Stocks, Super Stocks and IMCA/Wissota Modifieds here in Northern WI. This season the start will be late....we still have 1 foot of snow on the ground and been having a blizzard on and off since yesterday. We deon't go to the races much anymore only invitationals as hubs can't sit in the bleachers anymore due to severe back and hip pain. Working too many years on concrete and rolling over Stock cars do a body bad. Miss watching dirt racing a lot.

qwed94 · April 19, 2013, 08:28:38 PM

Thank You HOW-DO. And CHEESE--yes dirt racin is almost an addiction. I miss them too.
As far as May4/5 at SDC is concerned. I just dont know. Things are going from bad to worse here. First we ended up with a surprise family matter on the 5th. Still planned on Branson for the 4th. Now a check engine light came on in the Jeep. Inspection time is May. It is a TPS code and 3 vacuum leaks. (EVAP is not generally a problem a reset and drive is usually a good inspection). The TPS can be costly. I will keep you all posted as whether or not we will even be in Branson. Maybe if Randy has room we can go.
