Topic: Noob question... Parking lot camping at The Ridge Motorsports Park?

First time going to a Lemons event and I'm going to next weekend's race in WA as a spectator to take photos and goof off. I live about 90 minutes from Shelton so I thought about just sleeping in my Jeep each night. Does anyone familiar with the park know if camping out in a doorless Jeep is a bad idea there (or even allowed)? I'm not familiar with the parking situation, don't want to get kidnapped by junkies in the middle of the night and have my organs harvested.

Registered teams pay $50 to camp on site at the tracks we race. Better email Lemons HQ and ask.

You're more likely to be kidnapped by racers and have your Jeep parts harvested.....

Actually, most likely to get sticker bombed.

Camping out at any Lemons event is pretty kosher...adopt a team and if anyone asks say you are with them (no one will ask).

Lol waking up with everything covered in stickers would be hilarious. Waking up without a water pump slightly less so... I emailed the track and didn't hear back but didn't even think about emailing Lemons HQ.

Hey Pasta,
It's pretty rural out there, nobody will mess with your stuff. Silversleeves "Racing" will be out there with a full compliment of Class C Bristish crap, stop by and say hi!

Yesss, I love the vintage British crap, I'll definitely look for you.

Nick from HQ emailed me back and said I could totally pull off camping with the cool kids as long as I stayed out of the way, but I decided I didn't want to deal with a bunch of crap (that and my only tent is an 8 person 2 bedroom behemoth that screams "not staying out of the way"). I think I'm back to just taking a nap in the passenger seat lol. I was originally going to come in Friday afternoon but I think one night in the Jeep will be bad enough so now I'm shooting for Saturday morning.

If you plan to build a team, you need to be there before 5 PM Friday even if it means missing Sunday.
