This got a little bit off the original topic but i appreciate most of the comments i will be looking for a Honda EU2000i for myself and helping my neighbours to move there rigs further and possibly supplying a longer extension cord.
For those who criticize my aversion to the noise, you must realize i have friends that i attend track days with and enjoy conversing with them, one day you too may have friends and wish to converse with them, good luck with that.
Constructive input = not your strong point
Likely there were people charging tire warmers
No that's some good info, solar does not seem feasible.
I will never know as much as you about solar power, but thanks for the info
Good to know thanks
Power would be awesome, but it likely won't happen as all those electrical outlets would be super expensive to install and the cost would not be offset for years unless they up the fees.
Sorry forgot that some were incapable of constructive input

An EU2000 or EF2000 is your best bet.
They initial expenditure is going to be higher than a cheapo noisy generator or even a cheaper inverter type but in the long run the cost of ownership is actually lower.
Buy a cheaper generator for $300-$600 and after a few years (if you're lucky) it is worthless since it doesn't run anymore. You can't even use it as a boat anchor. What is the cost per year to run a cheap generator? And how big a pain in the ass will it be when your cheap generator commits suicide on a Saturday morning of a race weekend?
People can afford to use new tires for friday practice but won't shell out $1000 for a good generator? People are strange.
I might be upgrading to an EU3000 in which case my EU2000 will be for sale.

dibs! lol
EU3000 goes for $2200
EU2000 goes for $1299
You could always buy another 2000 and link it to your existing genny for 4000Watts output.
Who says I'm buying new?? Lol.
I have thought of the linking but the EU3000 can run 14 hours on a tank.
Well i presumed new cause you have black number's for 2013
Deals are to be had. I've been checking Kijiji and there are EU3000s to be had for $1500-$1800.
I would never run a genny all night. However saying that if I ever caught anyone sabotaging my property I'd break your flipping fingers and then go for the neck.
I'd first bang in the trailer and ask them to shut it down. Turn off or unplug maybe after that but I would not ever break someone stuff without expecting a punch in the face. Repeatedly.

There have been cases where inconsiderate idiots did not respond to gentle reminders to turn their generators off at night. There have even been some rather inconsiderate replies to such suggestions. There have been cords cut as a result.
I would never do that, but turning the generator off ... I sure would, particularly when I can't tell who it belongs to. I ain't following a 100 foot long cord in the dark in my pajamas to figure it out.

So you can hurtle yourself around a track at +200km/h but you can't figure out where the off switch is? Or that if you unplug at the source you do not need to follow the cord aanywhere in your pjs????
I'm making a point. You have no right to interfere with anyone elses gear and there is no need to sabotage as was suggested here.
Who peed in your Cheerios??
But that person has no right to interfere with EVERYONE trying to sleep in a tent.
Hint: Asking someone to turn their generator off, requires figuring out who it belongs to. In the dark ... that may not be possible.
Let's break it down for you then.
Step one, for an obnoxious generator running after hours, is to ask the owner to turn it off. IF you know or can figure out who it belongs to. This ought to be obvious.
There have been cases where the response has been F U or something of that ilk. In which case, step two ... is to turn the generator off. Keep in mind, it shouldn't have been running in the first place.
There have been cases, where the person in question re-starts the generator despite being told and despite the hint of someone else having turned it off. That's when things get nasty. I have heard of cords being cut but I would never do it myself.
But water in the gas tank? It won't damage the generator, but it will ensure that it won't run until the next day.
Preventing all of this is REALLY simple. Don't run your generator overnight. "But I need it to keep warm" - then bring a good warm sleeping blanket. Or use a propane heater.
Wow. Just wow. No one Peed in my genny but I do have a new idea on what to break if I ever caught someone messing with my stuff. Thanks
Edit- I've agreed from the get go that they shouldn't be running. But unless its a bylaw(may be some ammo for ya) there is no law against people being arseholes. There should be, but there isn't.
