Now a double

Very interesting. With this now being a double and the Mission double canceled, I wonder how many will make the trek???

I've never been there but understand that Yellowstone is in the middle of nowhere.

If anyone has been there - is there a town close?

Bob Gullett · 08-02-2020, 07:20 PM

Basically its Billings. About 15 miles away.

Carguy49 · 08-02-2020, 07:51 PM

I thought it was farther from town, shame on me. Thanks for the info Bob.

There are 3 Walmart's and a Costco and I saw an Albertson store in Billings (google map). You might want to stock up on food before heading to the track. That way you don't have to make food runs during the weekend, just a thought.

I hope it is a good turnout since it is a double race.

Suppose any quarantine problems there?

Only 841 miles from Maple Grove, MN

Acton (pop. 183) has a bar & grill, a bed & breakfast, and a horse hotel. And the track.

And the track.... is down a 4 mile long gravel road beyond that out in the middle of nowhere. For the record though, I have run the Divisional there multiple times and it's a pretty nice track, the management (at least back then) was very friendly and we had a good time in spite of the hail storm that trashed everyone's trailers but that's a story for another day.
