Amy Donaldson: Rocky Mountain Raceway offers regular drivers the chance to drag race
WEST VALLEY CITY — Dominic "Dom" Toretto might be a fictional character, but his philosophy on racing cars sounds pretty romantic.
"I live my life a quarter mile at a time," said the character from the movie "The Fast and the Furious." "Nothing else matters. For those 10 seconds or less, I'm free."
But once I start considering the risk associated with putting the pedal to the metal, it starts to sound a little less appealing.
Which may be why I felt a little trepidation as I stood near the drag racing strip at Rocky Mountain Raceway last Thursday. I'd been invited, along with about 50 other people, to hang out at RMR and race cars on the quarter-mile drag racing strip.
I'm game for just about anything — rock climbing, sky diving, all roller coasters, most types of skiing and anything at all that can be done on or in water. And while my penchant for acquiring speeding tickets may indicate otherwise, racing cars has never been on my wish list.
I drive fast enough to make up for leaving late.
I don't drive fast enough to feel like I'm flying.
Okay, there was one incident on a snowmobile, in which I zoomed off a jump a little faster than I should have and launched my husband into a wooded area near Yellowstone. And then, a year later, I did dump him into a frigid lake in Alaska, but that, according to experts, was because I was turning the jet ski too slow.
My admiration for those who crave speed does not mean I want to feel the pull of triple digits. I loved "Top Gun" as much as any '80s child, but unlike the show's heroes, Maverick and Goose, I do not feel the need, the need for speed.
To really embrace drag racing, one has to be able to let go of fear. You can't be thinking about blowouts or skidding when the force of the speed pins you to the seat.
I am not a speed demon.
Obligation morphed into excitement, however, as I stood by the track. As I watched business men and women peel out, trying to gain any advantage over each other, my reticence dissolved.
How could I be reluctant with so many people absolutely thrilled for an opportunity to race Ford Mustangs and Dodge Chargers?
I wasn't alone in noticing the energy of those standing in line on the side of the drag strip. Owner of Rocky Mountain Raceway and CEO of Young Automotive Group Spencer Young was among the eager drivers.
"I made seven passes," he said. "It's really fun."
Nearly 19 years ago, he bought the raceway for several reasons.
"The first reason I bought it is that it was becoming in disrepair," said the 57-year-old Farmington man. He wanted to preserve Utah's racing heritage and honor Rocky Mountain Raceway's history.
He also thought owning RMR fit nicely with his business — car dealerships.
Young said he's learned a lot from those who race cars for a living and those who race for pleasure.
"I think probably the most important thing I've learned from racing and from sponsoring racers is loyalty," Young said. "The racers and the fans of racing are very loyal."
Allowing people like to me a taste of racing is another way to enjoy what RMR offers. Businesses can take employees, and it does beat a picnic or potluck.
"A lot of people, especially older people, don't play sports," Young said. "And anybody can get in one of those cars and have fun. Everybody I watched was grinning from ear to ear."

Marc Lombardo '14, Joshua Kaplan '14 and Justin Belmont '14 discovered that the breadth of perks and discounts offered to students in stores was not offered online. They created Perkla to solve the problem. Lombardo explains.
What is unique about your company?
Perkla is your digital student ID, where students can get discounts to their favorite brands online, including Reebok, Converse, Theory, Rent the Runway, and many more!
How did you come up with idea?
When Justin, Josh, and I became business school students, we realized the plethora of deals that were offered to us by retailers in store; however, there was no way to access these discounts online. That's crazy! Increasingly, students across the country, like us, prefer to shop online. With Perkla, we created the solution to this problem.
Which resources at Columbia / New York City have been most helpful to you?
We began our journey in the Lean Launchpad course with Professor Dorf, and enjoyed his tutelage so much that we did an independent study with him on our Marketing Strategy. We consulted with numerous alumni, who provided us with thoughtful insights and suggestions, which have helped Perkla develop immensely. Additionally, Perkla gained acceptance into the Columbia Entrepreneurs Lab (CEL), which provided us with a new co-working, incubator space for the summer, located on the Morningside campus. The CEL incubator space provided us with practical resources and mentorship during our critical first few months. Currently, we are in the Greenhouse course, and we look forward to building the business for future success!
How can the community help you now?
Students – sign up and start saving! And spread the word to your friends. Additionally, we are looking to add to our team, so if a student is looking to join an ecommerce start-up, look no further.
How can people contact you? Email is easy (mlombardo14gsb.columbia.edu or marcperk.la) or just chat with me on campus – I'm around!

Box Office Update: Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola
What's the trade verdict on Imran Khan and Anushka Sharma's new release?
Despite critical acclaim from certain sections of the media, Imran Khan and Anushka Sharma's rustic comedy Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola has not lived up to expectations of the trade.
The film did not open too well but it had the advantage of a National Holiday on Monday.
However by Tuesday the film nosedived across the country.
According to trade sources, Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola is not likely to earn more than Rs 30-35 crores in its final tally at the box office.
While some analysts are blaming the confusing Haryanvi dialect for the film's limited appeal, many feel that Vishal Bhardwaj is not yet a salable name for the janta. Also this film is considered to be one of the director's weaker attempts. And that's why even his loyal multiplex fan-following has given a disappointing feedback.
Given the A-list cast, Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola had a wide release, but looks like the producers will now have to rely only on non-theatrical sources to make their money.
Next week the film faces competition from Arjun Rampal and Chitrangada's Inkaar.

Well, the fact that I am considering using Grace has nothing to do with the number of children I have. Simply, I love the name, and I regret now putting it in an obscure second name spot for one of my daughters, there for it is rarely said or heard. Of course there are a lot of beautiful names out there! This I know all to well :O) However, it boils down to what you really love, at least that has been my way of looking at naming each one of my children... also any family significance has come into consideration. I would feel the same if I only had one child
I have been surprised to see Charlotte sky rocket up the charts! And I agree with you, I do think it is headed for the top 10. Good thing, is, I have never heard it on a baby or small child around where I live. It is something to think about for me~ "How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers."~ Mother Teresa

Well, I clearly can't really help you with this decision. I am so torn myself between Grace and Caroline. Those two (with Theresa) are my clear front runners if we have another girl. I don't think it matters if you have used it as a second middle. Anna is lovely too but I like the strength of Grace and Caroline. Charlotte has never really done anything for me though I can see the appeal. Also since you ruled out Susannah because of the "s" sound the "sh" in Charlotte seems to be pretty close.

Och, you're killing me here! I love the strength and feminine richness of Grace Caroline, and the spunky sweetness of Caroline Joy, and the sweet classic, sort of subdued feel of Charlotte Jane. And I would be seriously tickled pink to see you have one of any of these! I think Grace, Caroline, and Charlotte are all perfect for you. Anna Caroline is very sweet and I want to like it--and it's not even that I dislike it--I just can't get excited about it like I love Grace, Caroline, and Charlotte for you.
I'm sure your grandmother wouldn't think you're using Charlotte to spite her. And she'd get to love Charlotte because she'll love your daughter. You obviously love it--and I think if you love it most when this baby's born, I would definitely use it. Then again, my family has made it clear they don't like most of my names, anyway (my sister has tried to bargain with me to get me to give up Caleb--she says I can have her top choice--consequently my second--if I refuse to ever use Caleb. ha!), but that it's my choice and that they'll love my baby, no matter what the name. So I've never really put a lot of stock into what family members think, but I'm sure it's more important to others, and it seems it's important to you.
Grace Caroline is probably my favorite this time around, but I really love Charlotte and Caroline, so much!Ashley

Beware. The watch pictured here is the higher end version. I spent a long time shopping for this watch, and found many sites offering the knock-off version that has much smaller "diamonds". The model pictured has the larger "diamonds" and thought I found a great deal on the higher end model...sadly it is the same knock-off with the small "diamonds" pictured on other websites offering for comparable price.
I really like this watch! I would have given it 5 stars except I have to agree with one of the reviews that says it doesn't "sparkel" the way I expected it to. The diamonds on the outside are nice, but I think they are a bit overpowered by the other details. The face is gorgeous!. The chronographs and the diamonds on the face are amazing! If the diamonds on the outside were a bit more prominent, I def would have given 5 stars. Other than that, i love the watch, will def. keep it for everyday wear.
The watch itself is a beautiful watch. Love Bulova watches - they last a long time. However, I returned the watch because the diamonds are sooooo small you can't even see them. They are NOT portrayed as they really are in the picture.
The only complaint I would have is the diamonds look bigger in the picture. However, with that said it is a very nice watch and a great buy for the price.
this watch was properly represented, my friend loved it and it was exactly as the picture.
Awesome Bulova watch. I bought this for my fiance for her birthday and she loves it. It looks really good and she gets compliments on it all the time. Watch is 100% authentic and didn't even have a smudge on it. It was obvious that it was never handled. This is the best price. Many jewelry and department stores are selling it for twice as much.
I love this watch. It is definitely an eye catching watch. Have had many compliments.
I bought this for my gf for her graduation present. I had gone to several jewelers and decided that this was the watch i wanted to buy. I was shocked when I saw it here so cheap, I was a little scared but bought it and don't regret it. It is perfect. exactly as if I had bought it at the jewelers, only way cheaper!
I have to agree with one of the reviews that says it doesn't "sparkel" the way I expected it to. The diamonds on the outside are very small " Almost Invisible". This is NOT a high quality watch. Overall has a great looking design and price.
Very gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood buy!

Style: TKD, judo, MT noob--So are you Dustin Ware? 'Cause that would be nifty. Also, the mods here would be able to get you a couple of tags showing your achievments, and your input in the grappling forums would i'm sure be appreciated.
That being said, posting an advertisement for your school in multiple forums is seen as spam and the mods don't really like that, even from good schools like yours. -

Mon-Williams, M., Tresilian, J.R. and Wann, J.P. (1999) Perceiving limb position in normal and abnormal control: An equilibrium point perspective. Human Movement Science, 18 (2-3). pp. 397-419. ISSN 0167-9457
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Two potential sources of information allow the nervous system to determine limb position in egocentric space: (i) limb kinaesthesis and (ii) extraretinal cues to direction and distance. We argue that both of these information sources arise from essentially similar physiological origins – copies of the central commands issued by the nervous system together with afferent discharge fed back from the relevant peripheral effectors. A number of studies have demonstrated that judgements of limb position are more accurate when limb kinaesthesis is combined with extraretinal cues. We review some recent studies which suggest that the weighting attached to these two sources of information varies as a function of the amount of retinal detail present within the environment. We conclude by considering how the perception of limb position may be affected in cases of abnormal movement control.

Use third party UI widgets with Ext JS
Use third party UI widgets with Ext JS
If I decide to use Ext JS 4 as the main framework for my JavaScript app, is it possible to add third party UI widgets such as JQuery UI, ComponentOne Wijmo, Infragistics IgniteUI, or Telerik Kendo UI? Can Ext JS work nicely with these third party components? If yes, how to introduce a third party widget to participate in Ext JS layout system, and how to capture its events in Ext JS controller? If someone could shed some light on this issue, I would be grateful.

The truck enters a "runaway truck ramp", an uphill incline at the side of the roadway designed to stop a truck in this situation.

Lisa's Life So Far . . .
Lisa Yee was born and raised near Los Angeles. As a kid, she loved reading, opening brand new boxes of cereal (to get the prize), and riding the teacups at Disneyland. Lisa attended Brightwood Elementary School in Monterey Park, CA where she once won an award for best decorated cake. While at Alhambra High School, Lisa was on the debate team and president of the honor society. On occasion, she would ditch class and sneak off to the library. (Okay, so she never quite figured out the juvenile delinquent thing.) At the University of Southern California, she majored in English and Humanities, and she also took a bowling class. Lisa has been an inventor, a hand model (once), and worked for a creative think tank. At Walt Disney World she was a writer/producer and one time, when she was the only short person around, she got to be Mickey Mouse. She has also directed creative projects for Fortune 500 clients, led creativity seminars for dairy farmers (moo), and been featured in the Wall Street Journal for her obsessive workaholic behavior. (She is now practically, totally cured of this.) |
Even though Lisa has been paid to eat chocolate, the thing she likes doing most is writing--except for when she has writer's block, or needs a snack, or is distracted.
Her writing assignments have included labels for cans of refried beans and a sort-of speech for the President of the United States. Plus, she has penned her own newspaper column, written commercials, Red Lobster menus, and jingles. And, that's right, she came up with the slogan, "Pass the Old El Paso." Lisa's first book, MILLICENT MIN, GIRL GENIUS debuted in 2003. Since then, she's had ten more novels published -- and at this VERY MOMENT is working on a new one. Well, either that or she's having a snack. Her latest novel is a for teens and titled THE KIDNEY HYPOTHETICAL - OR HOW TO RUIN YOUR LIFE IN SEVEN DAYS. Lisa has about two million books in print, and has garnered oodles of awards, and her backwards handwriting is neater than her regular handwriting. Lisa lives in South Pasadena, CA. Her HUGE collection of Winnie the-Poohs is on loan to the White River (Ontario) Winnie-the-Pooh Museum. |
Why didn't you tell me there's a shorter bio HERE? |

Share your thoughts
What do you think of the
Volcom Slargo Cargo Short - Men's
? Share a...
Overall, a pretty good pair of shorts
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
The fabric seems a little stiff, even after several washings. They fit well in XL (I have 36" waist) and are otherwise very functional for my needs. I don't think though, that I'll be wearing them during deer season unless we have 80 degree days. Lots of pocket space and I do like the metal snaps instead of the button and slot one so typically sees. I'd recommend and figure they'll break in eventually after several more runs through the washer
Jesse Crandall
Top notch
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Nice and heavy duty, fit is true to size. Unfortunately some bleach splashed on them though so now I have a badass pair of work shorts..
MIchael Rodriguez
Volcom is good stuff.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These shorts fit pretty well and are comfortable.
I'd buy another pair.

Nice shorts, pretty normal I like them!

And your point was? It still does not make fixing a problem in three branches (one of which will not end in a release) instead of two a good idea. I don't think that accurately describes what we will be doing.

How odd that I was recently wondering why you were playing douche bags.
I never really thought about actors and their roll "types" but I see it clearly now. Thanks for explaining. I guess that's why I have not been able to watch certain actors that I love in one movie but cannot in others. Kristen Stewart is DOOMED. *evil laugh*
Oddly enough it can also be applied to online personae. Whenever I'm nice, open and sweet *gag*, I may as well be chatting to the wall. If I'm my usual dark, sarcastic, and misanthropic self, things are way different (in a bizarre but good way).
Every actor has a particular type they can play well, for some reason or another. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with who we are in real life, but it's just what we do well. Example: Travolta is amazing as the Lovable Loser. When he's in Welcome Back Kotter and Saturday Night Fever i...
Kinda made me cry. I've had a complete upset since July in my gaming schedule due to my work schedule, that is SUPPOSED to be temporary.
I honestly did not realize how important the bi-weekly gaming sessions were to me until I lost them. Every other week I silently shed a tear as my husband leaves for the game.
He's currently running a Savage Worlds game and though I started out trying to play I just couldn't stay awake.
In the introduction to my short collection of gaming essays called Games Matter, I wrote: Of all the things that make me a geek, nothing brings me more joy, or is more important to me, than gaming. I am the person I am today because of the games I played and the people I played them with as I ...
*head in hands* I TOLD myself NOT to read it. But I thought, it's Wil Wheaton, what's the harm? *shivers*
I'm such a sissy. :-(
But that doesn't affect the awesomeness that is the story.
About two hours ago, I thought to myself, "'There's a monster in my closet' would be a neat way to start out one of those scary short stories I loved to read when I was in middle school." I wrote it down, then wrote a little more and a little more. Right around the time I realized I had no idea ...
Very well said. :-)
Pretty much all of Comicon was awesome. However, there was one thing that was decidedly not awesome, and though I had initially decided not to talk about it in public, it's bothered me since it happened, so I wrote about it on G+ earlier today. I'm cross posting it here, though, because it's imp...
I'm really, really sorry that there are people out there that do this sort of thing. I would have been one of many fans that would support you no matter how mean or nasty you would have been to these leeches. Just pick them off Wil, they're not worth your attention.
It makes me very sad and it also stops me from putting a terrible amount of effort into meeting anyone famous. Even as a teen I was horrified at screaming fans. It makes my stomach hurt when I see people treating stars (movie, music, tv, tv chefs, whatever)as if they're anything more than human. Yea, I got a little emotional at Pax, but I'm an emotional and somewhat dramatic person, I also go over it in about 30 seconds.
I've been thinking a lot about Twitter and how fans treat stars of every ilk, what saddens me is how much attention the haters and weirdos get. It's NEGATIVE attention and they FEED off it. I don't understand that at all, I would be mortified if I offended someone I looked up to or admired.
The sense of entitlement that those people had, give real fans a bad name.

Sadly, the Seattle Pax last year ruined me for any Cons except Steamcon. We went for two days and spent way too long standing in line only to be disappointed EVERY SINGLE TIME. Then when I decided to get a 2 hour jump on the line to meet you, the little taped box was already filled with people! So when you were finally there I rode the escalator up, watched you interact with a few people and then said to my husband, "ok, I'm good now, thanks", and rode the escalator back down. 49 years old and not being able to say hi and shake your hand, made me cry like a 12 year old. Silly, I know.
I may say no more cons, but now my husband is talking about going to something called ZombieCon next year. Ugh.
Comicon was awesome. The Eureka panel was funny and everyone in the audience seemed to enjoy themselves. The consensus from the cast and producers was that I did a good job moderating, and I felt like I managed to get out the talking points the network wanted me to get out under pain of death wi...
It totally sucks that I read your post *after* smugly stuffing my big box of frozen pretzels in the freezer, satisfied that even though my husband got a new car today, I got a monster box of frozen pretzels from Costco. Dude, there's 20 of these things! *sigh*
I am slowly but steadily finding my way back to that mysterious land where I feel motivated and inspired to write something every day. I blame Fallout: New Vegas for wrapping me up in an interesting world every night, and a giant stack of comic books that reminded me how much I love superhero st...
Yes, as a matter of fact, I *would* pay for a print, hang it on my wall AND carry it to a Con to be signed while struggling to beat down the gushy fangirl in me. Hmm..can someone a few years shy of 50 still be called a fangirl? ;-)
I think this is one of those rare things that can be equally enjoyed* by those who have context, and those who don't. *for very disturbing values of 'enjoyed'
There was so much I wanted to express in a comment, then after reading all the other comments before me, I had nothing left to add! :-)
All I can really say is a personal, "Wil Wheaton, thank-you for being you. As long as you stay true to who you are, even when you're not sure who that is, you will always be looked up to and appreciated."
Today is my last day on this episode of Leverage. In just under 24 hours, I go back to real life. Yesterday, I went over to Pioneer Square to talk with Stephanie Stricklen on a local news show called Live at 7. It was a good time, and I got to meet a lot of Portlanders afterward who came out to,...
Oh yes! I will have to get one of these for my husband/DM. He saw it and was thoroughly impressed. I do believe I saw a shadow of nostalgia flutter across his face. Too awesome to ignore. Thank-you Wil, your creation is a Nat20.
While walking through Comicon three or four years ago, I stopped to look at one of those booths that's filled with a hundred different T-shirts. Somewhere among the various superhero crests and clever nerd phrases and obscure sci-fi homages, I saw a fairly simple design: an Atari joystick, sitti...
I hadn't thought of Roller Derby in 30+ years, since leaving LA in the mid 70's, until I watched "Whip It". Funny how a week later you go to one. I took your advice and checked, lo' Seattle has Roller derby! http://ratcityrollergirls.com/
(Photo by me. Click to embiggen and get more info at Flickr.) Last night, Anne and I went to watch Roller Derby (which doesn't, by the rules of English grammar, need to be capitalized, but by the rules of capitalizing Things What Are Awesome does) live for the very first time. I used to watc...

About this website
I chose classcreator.com to host this site. Everything I have learned about Class Creator, our provider, indicates a genuine desire to provide classmates a way to reunite without having to put up with spam and advertisements. Class Creator sells subscriptions for reunion websites like ours, but individual registration remains free to classmates. If you would like to help defray the website cost, your single $5 donation is highly appreciated!
If you use a spam filter on your email, please read the following message I received from Class Creator:
"...the Class Creator system does not send spam mail of any kind to your Classmates. Thus you and your Classmates can "whitelist" firstname.lastname@example.com with confidence that spam email will never be sent from our address..." (previously firstname.lastname@example.com)
Note, whitelist, sometimes referred to as a "Safe List" or an "Approved Senders" list, is the general term for allowing an email to come through from a specific email address every time.
I encourage you to research Class Creator and it's services further. Please alert me should you ever discover any behavior that seems questionable to you.
Excerpts from Class Creator's Privacy Policy and FAQs:
"We will not use personal information that we collect online from you while you are using the Class Creator system, nor will we use any information provided by classmates, to mail or email promotional offers (AKA spam). Your personal information and the personal information entered by your classmates will never be shared with other companies or organizations electronically or otherwise — period." <link to Privacy Policy>
Can people find my Classmates' Profile pages by searching Google or other major search engines?
Answer: It depends. Your Classmates' Profile pages are fully indexable by major search engines, but each individual Classmate has the ability to permit viewing of his or her Profile only to fellow registered Classmates. If Profile information has been restricted to only fellow Classmates, then search engines can not get into this information and index it, nor can any non registered Classmate get in. Please note that your Classmates' public profile is found in the search engines when no restrictions have been set by the Classmate him or herself. This is the same information that anybody can see simply by visiting your web site unless a Classmate has restricted Profile viewing to only fellow Classmates. Your Classmates' private information is not findable and will never be displayed even if their Profile is left open to the public. Specifically, your Classmates' email addresses, mailing addresses, and telephone numbers are completely protected and not visible to the public, and not findable/indexable by search engines no matter what. Please note that anyone can still send an email to your Classmates by filling out the contact form at the bottom of any Classmate Profile page. This allows open communication between Classmates and non Classmates alike, while protecting Classmates' personal information. <link to FAQs>

Girl dies after falling from 10th floor of apartment complex
PHOENIX -- An 18-year-old female has died after falling from the 10th floor of an apartment complex near Arizona State University early Sunday morning.
At 2:40 a.m. MST, the Tempe Police and Tempe Fire Departments responded to the initial call and arrived at the scene located at 922 E. Apache Blvd. Upon arrival, officials with the Tempe PD investigated the fall and attempted to treat the victim's injuries.
The victim, identified as Naomi McClendon from Kansas, was later transported to a local area hospital, where she died from her injuries.
"Our detectives are still out there trying to figure out what happened," Tempe PD Sgt. Mike Pooley told KTAR. "It appears from the video that alcohol was a factor in this. She appeared to be very unstable on her feet, extremely intoxicated.
"She was out on the balcony by herself and just fell off."
Pooley added that McClendon did not live in the complex, however she was there visiting friends.

Tribal courts are court of general jurisdiction much like State courts, which simply means they probably have the authority to grant a divorce and divide property. The similarities to State courts stop when your talking about splitting a retirement account, 401K, or pension. Before February 2, 2011, this probably wasn't a problem since the courts generally treated tribal court order as "domestic relations orders." This changed becaused the Department of Labor interpreted a Navajo Nation tribal court order as a judgment not made pursuant to State domestic relations law within the meaning of section 206(d)(3)(B)(ii) of ERISA. Under ERISA a domestic relations order, is an an order withing the meaning of section 206(d)(3)(B)(ii) of ERISA, which means made according to State domestic relations law.
The Department of Labor looked to the definition of State udner ERISA in Section 3(10), "[t]he term 'State' includes any State of the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, Wake Island, and the Canal Zone." The Department recognized tribal sovereignty stating that federal law generally does not treat Indian tribes as States, or as agencies or instrumentalities of States. NLRB v, Pueblo of San Juan, 276 F.3d 1186, 1192 (10th Cir. 2002). See also Reich v. Mashantucket Sand & Gravel, 95 F.3d 174, 181 (2nd Cir. 1996) ("[T]ribes are not States under OSHA").
So unless your State has adopted a law to address tribal court jurisdictional issues relating to domestic relations orders, you may have to find a different way to split that 401 K.

Qns: Attending Oktoberfest whilst on a tour?
This is a general question... If your 'big' tour is advertised as being in Munich for Oktoberfest (and not a tour specifically for Oktoberfest), does this mean your TM automatically plans to take you there, or help you get your way there if you ask, or even book a table for the group to attend? Otherwise do we have to organise our own way there, or pre-book a table ourselves? It's my understanding tables disappear quickly in the morning unless already pre-booked? I would love to know what others have done in the past who have been in Munich during Oktoberfest whilst on a tour. I will be going on the European Contrasts tour later this year and I just don't want to miss out donning a dirndl and making the most of Oktoberfest!! Thanks!
