nascar camping

so is it pretty much the norm that nascar fans are running gennies all day and night at race events?. i want to go to dover downs for a race and bring the camper. i dont like sleeping without ac. i didnt buy my camper to not be comfy. i used a tent all my life with just a sleeping bag on the ground. so will i be ok to use a quiet genny for ac over night?

lol i posted this question in another thread on the use of generators but it seems everyone is intent on pointing fingers there.

    It's best to check the racetrack rules....which I just did for you. :)

    Seems the rules have Quiet Time from 11:00 to 6:00. :(

    There are reports of people there that break the rules and run their gennys all night..
    There was a nice rig beside us at Talledega that ran theirs all the time....but it was so quiet we could not even hear it so it did not bother us or anyone else.

    There seems to be quite a bit of off-track camping that you should check out.

    Depends on the track.

    We go to the NASCAR race at Watkins Glen. The track has quiet hours after 11:00PM and enforces it. Even people with the quiet Hondas have been told to shut it off at night (until 6:00AM).
