boonman Posted September 10, 2004 Report Posted September 10, 2004 Val-Du doesn't mind a little noise. Nor fires. It can be a little raddy, but I have never minded staying there...... I ALWAYS wear flip flops wherever I shower away from home anyways. I am up in the air about going, $$ is tight as always, and I may be switching jobs soon. It will be a last minute decision. If I go, I will have a Dark Grey F-250 Diesel crew cab and my shee. Val-Du will be where I am at, somewhere around campsite 77 or so..... (in the back, where the party's at) Quote

blk02banshee Posted September 14, 2004 Report Posted September 14, 2004 4 more days! I put my sand tires on today and checked her over. Started on 2nd kick, after sitting for 3 months, so that's a damn good sign. I just hope I pass the sound test. I barely made it in 3 months ago with 95 dB, so I'll be bringing packing with me, just in case. I probably won't get there until late friday night, hopefully by 9 or 10:00.(and that's if I make it through chicago traffic quick,lol) Quote
fixitrod Posted September 15, 2004 Report Posted September 15, 2004 Okay, I just got back from vacation. Val du whatever they call it will be the bansheehq camp then. If anyone else is staying somewhere else let us know. We need to meet up. If you need my cell number, pm me. Quote
banshee370 Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 I only ask one thing.......... Since I cant join in..... Please take pics/video! Everyone RIDE SAFE and come home in one piece. Kick back and pass the antifreeze around for me. Quote
Minkia38 Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 i might be staying at same hotel as blk02banshee, its pretty cheap - and costs the same as 3 of us splitting the cabin we were gonna stay at..... im leaving early friday morning (was gonna leave thursday, but why pay for an extra night at the hotel.....)

mrmatt Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 I plan on getting into the Mears/Silver Lake area around 5:00 on Friday. I hope to visit one of the ATV stores there to pick up a flag and check the place out. Then I'll head over to Val-du Lakes campground to meet up with everyone. I'll be by myself in a Red 2002 Chevy extended cab 2500 with a black and white Banshee in the back. Should I bring some firewood or does someone else already have that covered? Quote
fixitrod Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 I'm sure firewood is a good idea if you have some. Quote
mrmatt Posted September 16, 2004 Report Posted September 16, 2004 I'm sure firewood is a good idea if you have some. I'll bring what I can. The weather should be perfect this weekend. Check out the latest forecast: Friday: Mostly sunny, with a high around 71. South wind between 5 and 9 mph. Friday Night: Clear, with a low near 51. South wind between 5 and 9 mph. Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 74. South wind between 5 and 9 mph. Saturday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 52. Sunday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 76. Quote
Banchetta Posted September 16, 2004 Author Report Posted September 16, 2004 You can purchase firewood at the campsite or bring some. Does anyone know if I can purchase race fuel there??? If not, is there a somewhat close place? Quote
broke Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 I will load up my truck with fire wood, but there can never be too much, we'll just make a bigger fire. Does anybody know when any of the shops that sell spark arrestors stays open until? Quote

Nice. I won't be getting there until late, but I'll call you on your cell. I just thought of something, though...does anyone one know if people NOT staying at the campground, will be able to hang out at the campground? I've never been to val-du, but I know some campgrounds only let you in if you're staying there. I'm all loaded up and ready to roll, as soon as I get off work . Quote
Minkia38 Posted September 17, 2004 Report Posted September 17, 2004 DUNELAND sells sparkys - only place to get them (70 each) - they are open until 6 i think racegas? Duneland sells that too - a 30 second walk from dunes parking lot most other gas stations in toen sell race gas too i just buy AV gas at my local airport for cheapr though...... Quote
