I think you guys parked next to us a couple of years ago. They're really bad about holding the sportsman racers they have stacked outside, and letting the pro motor homes in, during sportsman qualifying. I've seen people miss at least a round of sportsman qualifying by not being parked Thursday night. It almost happened to us a couple of years ago. I'm sure it'll be even worse if they run class.

yea i remember your car. dad and I were trying to decide on thurs or fri, but knowing our luck we will get in late and be rushed to make a round of qualifying Fri morning. I assume they will start qualifying about 10, and if you get in the gates by 8, unloading, tech, and etc etc, it will be hard to get all that done.

I'm pretty sure they started qualifying at 9 that year, we brought a friend and his Super Street car, he did not make 1st round qualifying, and we barely did. Also, look closely at the weather, the worse it looks, the earlier they'll start, especially with them running class.
