Poker Run.
The Mystery Poker Run is a gimmick rally, starting at Nelson Ledges and taking you thru the rural twisty roads of the surrounding area. Be prepared to follow clues and unravel a mystery as you move from checkpoint to checkpoint. The poker run ends at a location near the track where you can sit down and have lunch with your fellow Poker Runners. Relax and chat about the great adventure you just had.

Car Show.
No need to wax or buff the old Porsche (unless you want to of course). Join us for the 9Fest car show and bring what you got. The usual "Best" awards will be doled out but we also have categories like "highest mileage" and "Unfinished Project." The car show goes on and judges will have their eyes open all weekend. If you're there, your competing!

Bonfire / Beer Swap.
Grab your folding chair and a cooler of your favorite micro-brew then head over to the bonfire pit. Relax with your Porsche friends and partake in a little barstool racing while you trade beers from around the state/country/world. We'll be burning a full cord of wood so you'll stay warm and toasty as late as you want to stay. (this is not your usual backyard fire pit)

Camping.
One of the great things about Nelson Ledges is that you can camp there, pretty much anywhere you like. Bathrooms and showers are available and you can't beat the location. If tent camping isn't your thing, RVs are welcome too. Either way, there's nothing quite like waking up at the track! Early arrival camping is available starting on Thursday afternoon if you want to get your spot REALLY early.
If you're not into camping check out LODGING for area hotels.
