Rob... I think you should do up some BBQ ribs!!!!!

[Noidly1]

I'm all signed up n ready to go. Can't wait...

I have a couple of Q's;

1- how long does it take to get there from StL, (driving the speed limit)?

2- What is the track like?
ie. How long is it?, Any elevation changes?, Is it flowing or point n shoot? ect...

3- Is there a town near by to get supplies?

Any thing else I need to know?

Thanks.

Oh, and one last thing;
Will there be a "certain somebody" there that might want to throw me a BS meatball flag???

How's the camping/shower situation?

[Sobottka]

brand new bathrooms with free showers sponsored by kohler (i think). nice!
camping available pretty much anywhere, its feels very much like a state park with trees everywhere.

[Burt Munro]

Noid, I have a conflict on Saturday that will tie me up till about 8pm Saturday.

I wasn't planning on going for Sunday, but now that I know you're going to be there I might just drive all night to harass you!

Looked around for a recent video, and this was all I could find. Hopefully it helps somebody.

If you've only ever been to HPT and Road America, BHF is a bit more "rustic". I do have to say the showers are better than HPT though... at least on the lady's side. Great track for spectators as most of the track is easily accessible. Garage space is limited/non-existant. If you camp, it can get pretty cold at the end of September. Fire wood can be found in the woods, or at some of the gas stations in town.

And bring bug spray.

Soo.....I should bring bug spray?

Ron that's all I keep hearing from these guys is bring bug spray and beer....

BHF is surrounded by wetlands, and is wooded. The mosquitoes are usually pretty bad early morning/dusk/evening. Then during the day there are biting midges (no-see-ums). If it's cold, you'll be fine but if it's still warm out, it can be misery.

HPT has thunderstorms and tornadoes, we have itchy insects.
