I book in advance, but I need the peace of mind. Even so, last year the Nashville area hotels bumped me once, I fixed that, then on the day of arrival they tried again. I gave them a piece of my mind, as I was already limping on a stuck wheel cylinder and ticked off, enough f bombs and magically my room was mine again.
Is anyone from Upstate New York going?
I went in 09 and 10.
I see now that they even charge passengers in your car now as "spectators". They never used to. Charge for EVERYTHING now seperate....
This whole thing isn't far from home Monroe and Norwalk are the farthest, I camp the same weekend in August every year about 15 miles west of there, Joliet speedway is about 35 miles away from me.

I did 2023 and 2024 in my Duster. Here are my tips....
Book hotels "in between locations" but close to each days start. They are cheaper and a few guys usually do the same.
Leave when you want each day (early), drive some of the route if you can, but beware if it gets backed up (2023 was really bad between ATL and Colo)
Pre-locate the ethanol-free fuel stops. (optional, but I found it helpful)
Don't cheat and take the interstate unless you are way late.
Here are some pics... 2024 parked on turn one of the Nashville motor speedway...
2023 parked after Day 1 outside ATL motor speedway (note same car before I painted it)
Didn't do the whole tour either year but it was fun to see all the ex-motortrend people (Shag, Derek Bieri, Lucky, Newbern, Cotton, some others but never Finnegan, Freiberger, or Dulcich anymore)

Or driving through NY, or leaving from a location on the way from NY, or going at all?
