    Gates Open AT 10am...I'm thinking about heading up earlier than the caravan and picking out a prime location....more than likely the same spot we had 2 years ago...

    I'm down, put me down for some beer and munchies.

    Matt Think before you post Staff Member Supporting Member

    I was going to try to get there right at 10am if possible...if not at 10, then before the caravan gets there. :p

    It would be awesome if we had a couple people come up before hand to 'reserve'. Especially after the crap we've gone through the past 2 years.

    I would be down for getting there earlier as well. I don't think we had any problems setting up in the area we set up last year. I think they were trying to not people into that section when we got there, but when we told them that that is where we set up every year, they were cool with it and let us in.

    How about we move everything forward 30 minutes? That way we leave the Bass Pro Shop at 9:30, getting to Road Atlanta, right around 10, when the gates open.

    typically on the outside of 10 in the concrete stands. I'm pretty sure we'll have a flag/banner or something.

    so i want to go to this but i have to get my ticket. do you think they sell them there? or should i try and get it before hand?
     
  45. Matt

    Matt Think before you post Staff Member Supporting Member

    they will be selling them there, but if you order online, you can get it at a discount. ($5)

    They won't mail you the ticket, you just go and pick it up.

    Use code PRPASS and go to http://postrelease.com/ServePRCLick.aspx?id=183675 for the discount
