| There are hotels close to the event, I believe one is actually across the street from what someone told me.
We will let you know more for sure soon! |

- Lame question here, how far are hotels from the fair grounds. I'm guessing we are going to leave our vehicles there so I won't have any other mode of transportation.. I'm hoping they are within walking distance, if anyone knows what hotels that are close, real close that would help me out.. Thanks
see if this link works. i just looked it up on google. http://realtravel.com/a-202959-dallas_attraction-texas_state_fair That was great ty. The linked worked too. |

| I gotta say I'm not excited about the last minute change...but from what I hear it couldn't be avoided. I totally understand why some people may not be able to make the longer trip but Jimbo has a point, finals has been "up north" for quite a while we'll just need to adapt to it. If your serious about competing you'll find a way to make it or you just don't want it bad enough I guess. Phinney and I will be there in 0-600 pro in the "bumble bee" (formerly known as the booger 2) Besides...It'll be a good excuse to go see Rob and Jimbo on there home turf again anyway. | |

| anyone that needs info on hotels just pm me and i will try to get you in the right direction. as for the hotels across from the fair grounds i don't recommend them at all. i would try the first three on the link below http://realtravel.com/dh-1425-dallas_hotelsif you don't mind driving about 10 miles i would look at these hotels in the links below. these are just a little bit nicer hotels little cleaner. myself i will drive up saturday morning and sunday morning since i am only 100 miles http://realtravel.com/dh-5232-mesquite_hotelsor http://realtravel.com/dh-2328-irving_hotelsnow for the security issue dallas police patrol around the park all night you will see anywhere from 2 to 5 cop cars at anytime so i wouldn't worry about parking inside the fair grounds. | |

October 15th has always been the cut off for points, but it doesn't much matter. I won't have the time to get the last points I need. Might do an open class though. Like super port wars. | |

| usually at finals the cars have to be out of the venue saturday after closeing ceremony. so you would have to find some place to put it after that. but i could be wrong, this is how it has been for the last 5 years ? | |

| That area isn't the best place in Dallas. I would look at hotels in Mesquite or Garland off I30. That is about 10 to 15 minutes away from the state fair grounds. | |

| in the past, vehicles are parked in the venue Friday. You have most of Friday to set-up camp inside the building - so you'll have time to clean and prep then.
Most of the time, you can't remove your vehicle until the event is completely over.
Your best bet is to find a group and get either a rental or taxi together.
This is what we've had to do at every other finals....Omaha and KC both. | |

This is what we've had to do at every other finals....Omaha and KC both. Well this year, my wife and I are coming out. So we can split taxi fare with you and Mon...wait, you guys are local, I can see Monte driving the beast out there, and leaving your car. Then you two head home each night. Sheesh. Or are you guys going to be staying in town near the show? | |

| yeah, we're staying at the house. it's only like 30 - 45 min away. we don't know enough yet to know who is going to be where. i know we're going to have a few ppl staying with us. because of that, we're most likely going to be renting a van to shuttle back and forth. once we have a more solid plan, i'll let ppl know. don't exactly want to post it up on the interwebz though....heheh
we are talking about having a few tuning sessions at the house early in the week though. | |
