Can you camp over in tents? I was there last year but can't remember if there was any tent camping.

Yep, plenty of tent campers at big races. Hopefully your team pits where there is grass though, otherwise it will be tough to anchor down your tent not to mention sleeping on stones could be a little rough.

Yea not sure were we will be pitted this year. We're from Thompson, last year was our first year there, and we were way down in the grass on the right side. Who knows were we'll be this year...they go by your team placing from the previous year right? We'll bring an air mattress I guess.

Is this going to be a 1/4 mile or 1/8 mile event? And what about shower facilities? Do they have them or some place near by?

1/4 mile this year 1/8th next year and then 1/4 the following 2 years.

No showers, not really anywhere near by either, there is a campground close by though?

Parking is based on previous years placing, what place did Thompson get last year?

Mark is right on with a zero.

You can look up Keystone State Park. It's just a few miles from the track. You may be able to shower there, if the facilities are still open. I can't remember if they close after Labor Day.

not worthy Keith Bowman not worthy

Did IHRA send out maps to all the tracks without QCR's pits marked? I didn't get my packet yet from PRP. I'm looking forward to seeing Team QCR back. Good people, good racers there.

If you haven't been to PRP since last year, the entrances off of 22 are different. PRP's gates are the same, but coming from the west, the first entrance to Stone Jug Road is a little further east than it was, and it's kind of hidden by the bank of earth Penndot cut into. If you miss that one, there is a light now at the other end of Stone Jug, and you can turn there. Leaving the track, you want to go right out of the gates, up to that light. You can turn west or east at the light onto 22.
