the dyno gets a lot of attention. there were like 300 cars there last year i think. expecting just as many if not more this year. i'm not sure if i'll have my bike or my VW. but my jeep doesn't even roll right now, so it won't be that haha

edit: travis, i bet you could win the RTI ramp. (unless bill shows up)

parking is very relaxed. if you enter as a group you'll get parked as a group. if we can get a rough estimate for how many rigs there will be i can let the guy in charge of parking know.

What are the options for trailer parking? whenever ive visited friends at umass, ive always just parked in this parking lot. since the show is in that one, should i just park over in the lots across from fearing st?

asp
April 14th, 2010, 05:32
would you trailer the nova out? parking at umass on the weekends is a free for all. you can pretty much park in any spot except spaces marked "residence life" or something like that. they have a red sign. you could park in any one of the adjacent lots, i suppose. the lot just south of the one the show is in would work, i would expect. or the one just west
