The closest place for camping is half a block away from the track which is the Wee Links Campground. 780-538-4501
We do not have a host hotel but there are several all over Grande Prairie. If I remember correctly even Kevin T got his house in at the Wee Links last year.

Same thing with every other race, sign up on rcsignup, and if you are unable to make it, please make sure you remove your entry to make room for others

Calibers and city blocks are the favorites, compounds dependant on tempurature. We havent been able to do a lot of testing of tires but small pins are good. Holeshots when it starts to groove up.

The closest hotel I can think of is the Sandman but you will have to phone around. All the hotels/motels are all within a 15 minute driving time from the track other than the ones at the very north that may be between 17-23 minutes depending on how many of the red lights you hit, but they may be some of the cheapest in town such as the Western Budget, Motel 6. There is once again quite a bit going on in town including Drag Wars So if you are going to be hotelling it you may want to get those calls in.

No there has been some changes made for this year so the track has a few more bends, a new rythym section, a different whoops section.
