Hey everyone.
I ran with y'all at one of the AX events last year (Smokies) with my gray Cobra. Had a great time, and am looking to do much more this year with a different car.
Planning on trailering up to Bristol on 3/5 & 3/6, and was wondering about accomodations for the overnight. Do most folks stay at a certain hotel? What about security for the cars and trailers? Reload Saturday evening and drag em to the hotel with ya? I know there's a lot of camping around there, but I'm really not setup for that except just a tent and sleeping bag.
Any advise or suggestions on how folks manage the overnight would be appreciated.
See ya there.

Overnight at Bristol
Re: Overnight at Bristol
The lot gets locked at night, so you car/rig would be safe. I prefer to stay at the Econolodge on the VA side. It's not far from the site and we get an SCCA discount. It's usually $60-70 a night after tax. And i think they're dog friendly

Re: Overnight at Bristol
I will always be on site with my camper and will watch over everyone's stuff and yes the gate does get locked so no worries on anything being bothered.... JY

Re: Overnight at Bristol
Several of us camp there at night. There there is a little near the creek where you can camp with a tent. If rain is in the forecast, don't camp near the creek, or have anything you care about near the creek.

Re: Overnight at Bristol
Thanks guys. Feel much better about leaving my car and trailer there.
Might be a little early in the year for tent camping. Long as my stuff is secure, I'll head for the hotel.

Re: Overnight at Bristol
When folks tell you don't camp near the creek when it rains, we really mean it.
