The directions/drive I looked at as part of the experience, it was just another hurdle. Here is the mistake I made on D1, I messed around at the track after the pass just to experience Drag Week in it's natural habitat (It's a lot easier to participate from the live feed). About an hour into the trip I then remembered what Squirrel told me on tech day "If you make it to your hotel before dark... it's a Drag Week win" and I wasn't going to make it. My point is it's really easy to get lost in a place your unfamiliar with when its dark. A paper map is where it's at!

Getting to the next hotel when it's daylight is the key, especially when your headlights are horrible like mine.

We just used the directions they gave us and our phones.

I had my GPS in the car for MPH and odometer. We would get on a road and know that in say 24 miles we had to start looming for the next turn.

That would even be a big help. There are times when seems like been driving forever and must have passed the turn. Exspcialy when it got really foggy and can't see anything wondering if your even close to where you need to be.

My GPS (Garmin $130 bought new reburbished last year) has a setting where you can program in a route turn-by-turn.

Might take a bit to enter everything, but I use mine primarily to notify me that my turn off is coming up.

Kind of a nice poke in the side for when you go all driver-zombie, and also lets me focus on the traffic idiots instead of looking at road signs (which always seem to be hidden by semi trucks until the last minute)

I'm the worst if I didn't follow I would still be out there on the route...

I liked you at one time Dale.

Once I get in a town, I usually set up a waypoint somewhere along the route immediately outside of it so I'm navigating the correct way. A lot of GPS units are looking for the quickest route. That function won't serve you well on DW.

It's easy to follow Dale, just look for the empty beer cans on the side of the road....
