Don't EVER fix a dent or other non-crucial bodywork just before a track day. You're just begging for an opportunity for Murphy's Law to put it into the gravel, or a guardrail or tire-wall, etc.

Update, I may have sold my spot, but I have 2 more available for the same discount ($200 for a $260 slot).
I have two friends from Minnesota who were joining me. One of them broke his car last weekend as well, and his wife doesn't want to do it if neither of the other of us has cars.
So: At least 2 slots still available for WMHM for $200 for the whole weekend. They can be used for either of the Intermediate or Advanced groups.

Pat, I have a crappy little one I'd let you borrow if it wasn't stuck in Minneapolis right now.
However it's old and kinda hard to put up. You can get a new, decent enough minimalist tent for $50 or well less (depending on how far you want to skew towards kids camping in the backyard quality). The newest ones are so damn easy, they curl up like a sun visor and you practically just throw it in the air and it unfurls itself into shape before it lands (slight exaggeration may be occuring here).
Just 10 seconds on target.com revealed the following on the first page just searching for tent.
Oh, and I always bring mine to any event where it might rain, even if I'm not camping, as it's a good quick place to stash things you want to keep dry. that'd even be true at an AutoX.

I usually like to park just north(?) of the timing and scoring station. Don't know why. Just the spot I like. If you guys want to stick together, I plan on being there but am open to other spots. I'm leaving Friday after work (5pm) from the city. I can caravan if people want as well.
We're planning on taking half a day off work. We're gonna try to get there close to 5:30 on Friday when gates open. I've never been to Gingerman; but, I should be able to find the timing and scoring station easily enough, and I will try to park my S in the area of the paddock that you've referenced. I'll probably be switching my pads Friday night.It looks like there are some trees near the camping area. My g/f is coming as a spectator only with her own car. We'll try to get a campsite near the treeline and set up our tent there. Breanne drives a grey Acura Legend sedan, which will probably be parked near our tent if that is possible.
