Yes, I'm already signed up for the open practice day Thursday. Electric-only will be fine (especially if 50A); that way we don't have to run the generator. Non-grass is best, We've been around the block a few times, so we know that every place is different; we can deal.

How good are you at backing up in the dark? There’s no hookups aside from electric btw, and I don’t believe there’s a dump station on-site
EDIT: I misread your post - if you're showing up Wednesday, you'll be fine. Those arriving late Thursday typically have a tougher time

50A in the paved paddock is very limited. Looking at the paddock map posted above, there is 1 50 amp box at each of the power box rows adjacent to areas F through M (no 50A at N). The one unfortunate thing about the power at SP main is that while there are 5 or 6 power hookups at those locations they are all in the same spot. And, several of them are out of reach of a standard length RV power cord unless you unhook the trailer and park facing with the passenger side away from the action (i.e., with the passenger side along the tree line). With my 43' RV with 35' power cable, I can't reach the 50 amp box in J, K, L, or M and stay within the paddock spots. I recently bought a 30' 50 amp extension cord solely because of how much time I spend in the SP paddock and I got tired of being relegated to I or H when me and my buddies all prefer to hang out in L and M.

We are pretty experienced racetrack RVers. It would be unprepared to not carry both 50A and 30A extension cords and an assortment of plug adaptors. The set-up sounds quite good overall. Some of the best-known tracks in North America have no hookups of any kind, or have just one central power source.

Will spectators be allowed, or is it going to be like HPDE where only drivers and “crew” are allowed?

When the cars aren't running it sometimes sounds like there is a peaceful protest going on next door.

So what you're saying is, deers are not the only thing i need to worry about coming at me on track? I gotta worry about bullets too?!?!?

Make sure to stay in West Virginia as Virginia is a Covid-19 no no state which means you have to quarantine (or should) when you get home.

Is the deer and other critter fencing up all around the main track now? Have there been sightings of any trapped inside? Just curious because SP Main is one of my favourite tracks!
