    Last of East Bay...

    Who will be making their first trip to EB for the Winter Nationals?
    For me it will be my 25th in a row, most trips camping.

    Got my tickets this week...

      I've got at least 25 under my belt, can't imagine how Lucas plans to fill this void.

        That is truly impressive. I had a streak of 8 in a row from 2000-2007 as well as a half dozen Winter Nationals shows from 1992-99 but that pales in comparison to your streak. In 51 years of attending races, still the latest night I ever spent at a race was at East Bay in the early 2000s when the show ran until 2:40 AM (no rain delay). I think they were still HAT shows back then. So much fun and great memories we had in February by the bay.

              Considering it. Weather permitting. I'm not driving the motorhome from Missouri to East Bay if there is snow predicted along the route.

                Hoping to get there this being the last hurrah for the place. Haven't been there since the 80's. We lose another one, but it will never be forgotten.

                    I'd almost say a person was not really a TRUE dirt race fan if they haven't done that a few times. Hone for breakfast . . . those were the days!

                      EastBay will not be the final 4 race. It will be the last race before the finals (DTWC will again be the finals)

                          I have been retired 24 of the 25 years, that helps.

                            I've got 13 years retired; it does help as I worked rotating swing shift. Vowed I'd go every year when I had the chance. Looks like that will come true.

                              I’ll be there. Maybe about my 15th one. I’m lucky to live only an hour away. I’m going tomorrow night……..for the second to last weekly show there. Starting next summer it will be a heck of a drive if I want to see any dirt track racing.
