I've heard from spectators from Washington, Michigan, Connecticut, Virginia, West Virginia, and South Dakota that are making the trip, just off the top of my head. I heard that some area tourism meeting the other week had mentioned that they had a baseball tournament of some kind coming into the area that weekend, and they were finding that many hotels were already booked. "What could be going on that's taking up so many rooms...?"
If you're coming into the area to speckletate, there are a number of locations where you can pick up $5-off coupons. Check the Auto Meter Northern Class Nationals page on
www.looserocker.com for listings.
Don't forget, if for some reason you can't possibly "BE THERE!", there will be a LIVE broadcast on
