Accommodations
To our friends in Washington, California and Oregon; Please plan early by booking hotel reservations now. Every year Newberg hotel space is at maximum capacity due to graduation at George Fox University the same weekend; space is even more at a premium given the popularity of the many local wineries on a holiday weekend. There is a softball tournament in town to boot.

**NOTE: There has been publicity recently about a lawsuit asking that several Shilo properties be placed in receivership. However, the court has made no ruling at this time, and if it did, operations of the properties would continue.
We sincerely hope that everyone will be able to attend, racer and spectator alike; Please make your plans now for reservations.

As always, camping in the pits is an option for racers only. Dry enclosed camper or RV camping is allowed in the parking area for the weekend, and tent camping is permitted in the grassy areas behind the parking area. There is no camping along the river bank.
