More Daytona questions

[GSXR RACER MIKE]

I've got the daily practice schedule too If you'd like that.

OK!

Where's the hidden agenda?

Why the hell are you being helpful all of the sudden?

Just for that I'm going to applaud you, how you like that?!

OK, forgive me!  It was a momentary lapse into my alter ego - a human being.

Whoa!  I'm back.   Didn't think I'd make it back here for a second or two.

Anybody want the winning lottery numbers??

Some questions:

Can we stay the night at the track?
From what Eric said in an earlier post, the answer is yes and the fee is included in our gate passes.

Here's the next question: Can we come and go as we please?  We want to be able to get out and enjoy bike week festivities, etc., but don't want to get left out in the cold when we come in at 2AM ! :)

You have access to your camping at any time.  They have security that guards the access overnight, but you can get there as long as you have the proper credentials.  You can not, however, get in to the paddock.  They lock that 1 hour after the end of racing every day, so if you need to work on your bike then you have to take it out of the paddock to wherever you're camping.

They have so many different types of camping down there it's hard to tell what is included and what isn't.  The prices range greatly depending on where you're camping, and if you have a camper of if you're just sleeping in a tent.  I think we all need to get some clarification as to what is included and what will be extra $$.

I'm going to make this a little more clear for those that have never been to Daytona before. The infield (inside the Tri-oval racetrack) at Daytona has various different situations available for camping, the paddock area is also in the infield, but it has tall security fences around it and they kick you out of that area 1 hour after the completion of the last race that day. They don't mess around with this either, they will have security guards coming around telling you to get the heck out of the paddock ASAP, once everyone is out they lock it up and have guards in that area during the night. Don't even think your going to get to work on your bike or whatever at night, if that's needed you better take the bike and everything you need to work on it out of the paddock for the night and work on it somewhere else like rogers1323 said.
