Registration now Open, teams will fill quickly!!!
I cannot win, in my efforts to give the information as soon as possible, I some times hit roadblocks I could not foresee. I'm sitting on information for 2 months from now on!
Now the fairgrounds has told me the double booked the 27/28 for a rodeo. SE will now be the 13/14th. I will not switch again so if it's not these dates it will be cancelled, I give up. Hate looking like a fool, sorry DI fans and drivers.
They have assured me they will turn the water on for the event, showers, campers, track etc...

Now the big question? Why not Georgetown?
They refused to rent the grounds in April due the past weather at this show, can't blame them a lot of damages has resulted from past rains. No hard feelings with them or the Youth Group just resulted in a short move down the road, the Georgetown Youth Group will still be a part of the show.
This is a great facility with larger covered stands, camping, flat level pits, alcohol sales, hospital one block away that we hopefully won't need this year!
Camping is with hookups 50 or so spots right next to the track, $20 per night, large tent camping area in a beautiful woods like setting. Restrooms with showers too! [/b]
