A lot of us are bringing grills for late night munchies after the sponsored dinner at the track..

The mall is close too, tone so food places around. I don't know when somone would have the time to go to them though. Friday night meet and greet is held in the Hotel's Bar and Lounge that is attached and they have great food. Saturday food is covered at the track for drivers and Sunday is awards breakfast

We are taking 300 drivers maybe more, we are working on the logistics of that. We want everyone to have enough track time..not just two passes..so as soon as we get a little over 300 drivers we are shutting it down for the driving portions. As many spectators can come as they want. The list is at 270Plus now but "garcmol" is going through it to see how many of those are actually going to get on the track.

There will be plenty to do even if you don't drive. If my car isn't supercharged by then I won't be taking it either..... just an idea.

Good idea on him flying out. Bad idea on not bringing your car without a supercharger. You could still bracket race or autoX without a supercharger.

Ok Team this thread is purely for Q&A. I am modding this one heavy. We can take the other discussion to the discussion thread.

I was absolutely AMAZED when Angelina and I went to Oshawa in October. ALL of our 'girl stuff' and her cleaning supplies fit nicely in the trunk.

Lots of room!

I'm rationalizing it this way, I'm saving a lot of miles by not driving it every day during the winter so all the miles to Georgia would be equivalent to someone driving theirs year round. See how that works!

lol nah born in november- but my last name is april - lol
but like i said i made that drive once dont wanna put that many more miles on it-as is its already away for the winter

Yes I do need a list of Restaurants because Ray can't eat anything with wheat (Gluten)...

Or is it 1st come 1st serve

Thanks
Sean

From what Junkie has said this parking lot is huge! It's a convention center. I have not seen it for myself but he said we should have plenty of room AND there is security too.
