A different kind of Challenge question - family accomodations

I remember turning in my drag tickets to a certain young Suddard on wheelie shoes at the challenge, He was maybe 10? Jeez I'm old.

Is this the pit-crew that joined the team during the Mumpkin's original build? (I am guessing this is the Mumpkin?)

In reply to NOHOME:

Yes it is. It was called "The Husband/ Wife Build" back then.

That is a current Mumpkin pic. Our child labor pit crew is growing in leaps and bounds.

All we had to do was spray paint "Free Candy" on the side and POOF, we had a pit crew.

In addition to the above concerns, what does the host hotel cost (roughly) and what are the entrance fees (roughly)?

IIRC, last year was $150 entry fee, and $110 per night hotel.
