Anyone got details on UROC Alabama? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

SlamChops · 05-05-2004, 08:33 PM

Ok, so I know it's happening, but does anyone have any details on LOCAL camping (like on premises), price, etc, etc. ? Our club went up last year to watch and I'm trying to get it all set up for this year as well.

yeah i've seen that, dont give much info. i was just tryin to see if anyone else had some info on it...

Sloppy · 05-08-2004, 02:12 PM

The land owner is only allowing compitors to camp at the site. They list two camping areas on their web site. Do need more info on those?

SlamChops · 05-08-2004, 02:19 PM

I reckon, are the camping locations relatively close or is it like last year where you gotta bust ass and drive a ways to get from anywhere?

bad80cj-7 · 05-09-2004, 10:03 AM

you can camp at the location.

SlamChops · 05-09-2004, 10:31 AM

So you can camp at the location this year? That's exactly what I was wanting to hear. Do you know how much it will $$ to camp there?

bad80cj-7 · 05-09-2004, 04:47 PM

I have camped there both times now. If I remember correctly it is $10.00-15.00 per night. You getting an early start on this bad boy this year?

fawk yeah... last year we tried to throw it together at the last minute and had to stay like hour down the road at a hotel. so they do allow camping on site? damn they told us last year that we couldnt.

did you have to reserve it or just show up?

bad80cj-7 · 05-10-2004, 08:21 AM

I have always just showed up and threw out the tent. Maybe they were messing with ya? I have nop clue. Someone from Rocket City will chime in sooner or later. Actualy I will go to there forum and ask up.

SlamChops · 05-10-2004, 07:22 PM

i guess i could run over there and start askin up too...

Doc Savage · 05-13-2004, 11:37 AM

Honestly that's an issue that is up to Danny the land owner. We as a club haven't brought it up. Competitors have been welcome in the past and probably again. I'll be there in the motorhome to get an early start for the judging. I'll make it a point to bring this up at our next meeting and discuss it.

Good to hear! Please let us know what the decision is.

Steve

Sloppy · 05-13-2004, 06:43 PM

Ok, here's the deal. The land used for parking/camping is also used to grow hay for the live stock. Last year there were some dougnuts and such. The land owner (my friend and spotter) is concerned about it getting torn up. This is why he has asked that only compitors camp. My advice is to: be on your best behavior and not draw attention to yourself. No campfires and no automoblie "horse play" in the feild. Follow these guild lines and no one will mess with you.
We want you to come and enjoy yourself, but also don't want to ruin our relationship with the land owner.

I hate to hear something like that happened.

Our club had a blast last year (we were the hecklers on the course where Shupee crushed his oil pan). Nothing but respect from here.
