The NASCAR FanView will work anywhere on the grounds and whatever is televised will be right in your hands.  You can easily rent the Fanview and a couple of headsets so that you can hear it no matter how close you sit to the track.

A scanner package can accomodate 1 or 2 people, possibly even a third (check with a Racing Electronics representative) so that you can listen to the broadcast in an otherwise noisy grandstand or from the infield.  Both of these packages will let you listen to TV coverage, radio coverage and even race team (driver/spotter/crew chief) communications so you can get down to the actual communications going on during the entire race.

You can save a few dollars if you rent in advance online.  Here is Racing Electronics website, specifically their rental section.  You’ll likely have the opportunity to chat live with a representative if you have any questions:  http://www.racingelectronics.net/index.php?event=store&action=products&item=rentals

The only areas for concern are low percentages for storms Saturday night through Sunday and here’s what the 7-Day Detailed Weatherbug.com Report for Long Pond, PA has to say about that:

Saturday Night:
Lo: 65 Degrees.  Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Lows in the lower 60s. Chance of rain 30 percent.

Sunday:
Hi: 81 degrees.  Mostly cloudy in the morning…then becoming partly sunny. A chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs around 80. Chance of rain 40 percent.
Lo: 64 degrees.  Partly cloudy with a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Lows in the mid 60s. Chance of rain 30 percent.

While nighttime temperatures are simply awesome for August, please remember that we are in the middle of a 2.5 mile racetrack, basically an open field.  With anything more than a light breeze it’s actually possible to be a bit chilled outdoors.   Please remember to bring a light windbreaker and at least one long sleeve shirt, just in case.

If by chance you forget to bring a long sleeve shirt or sweatshirt and need one, there are clothing vendors adjacent to our campsite.  You can find some great bargains over there ($5 sweatshirts etc..) if you don’t mind buying something related to a team combination that no longer exists (driver/sponsor/race team).

Should this forecast shift and temperatures drop, a sweatshirt may be required (and worn by many at night last year).

Today is packing day so don’t forget to bring your bikes and bring your games if you’ve got them!

Friday 8-10pm, Smoking Gunnz (Southern Rock and Roll) will be peforming at the Budweiser Block Party in the infield. (must be 21 to enter, outside beverages/coolers are not allowed).

Saturday 5-10:30pm, both Experience This (Jimi Hendrix Tribute Band)

and Kashmir (Led Zeppelin Tribute Band) will perform at the infield Budweiser Block Party!

…and that’s just what’s going on at the Budweiser Block Party!

Saturday Night 7:30pm to 9:30pm just about 100 yards from our wagon wheel is a FREE outdoor concert (bring your chairs, your coolers and your beverages!)  Country Singer Lauren Briant, best known for Butterfly Tattoo has recently signed with Average Joe’s Entertainment and will release a brand new album in 2011!

Saturday, 9:30pm Can you think of a better way to wrap up a FREE outdoor concert than a world class fireworks display?  At the concert’s conclusion our private camping area will have the closest infield views to a world class fireworks display.

This is not your Grand Daddy’s Airstream Owner’s rally!  Fun is +1!

Lastly, we’d like to thank Communispond for coming on board as a Corporate Sponsor for Dale’s AirPocono Adventure. In addition many AirPocono attendees have already pledged their financial support!  We haven’t reached our goal yet, so we’re hoping that you still might be considering supporting this special event!

There are plenty more posts in the works so stay tuned.  But in the meantime, start packing – the fun starts in just 5 DAYS!
