fee goes up a little bit in a few days btw... who else is in besides me?

 

- KB in TTF

I think most won't make the trip. I'm sure there will be a few but that is a real long haul. I know I won't be there. Mid Ohio is in the middle of the country's population. Good luck!

Wish I could do it but 2100 miles is a longgg way to go for a weekend of TT.

For three years, we traveled 2400 miles from SoCal to Mid-Ohio. You guys can't do it once or twice (and with a shorter distance)?

Posted

Sorry, no. Not with the economy the way it is and gas prices going up again. At least not this year.

3 days worth, but who's counting

When does the Fee go up. I need another paycheck before I can register. (the last pay check evaporated out of my account before I even saw it).

Posted

DOH.. just saw it...

a. $499 until May 31st, 2009

b. $599 until July 31st, 2009

c. $699 until August 31st, 2009

d. $299 “Supersize” fee for second race entry.

e. $999 Late Entry Fee after September 1, 2009.

 

Guess I'm used to late fee's only being imposed when you register withing a week or two of the event.

Posted

hmm, thats not whats on the registration page here:

https://www.nasaproracing.com/event/952

before May 31 - $499

before June 30 - $549

before July 31 - $599

before Aug 31 - $699

cancel within the guidelines and you get it all back less $50 though.. so get it in early

 

I can't say that I like it either, but it has been consitent at least since they started doing this in '06. I'd be curious as to the reasoning behind it though...

This is obviously not a regular "big" event, or a simple event to plan, organize, and successfully complete. It is very helpful to start getting an idea of how many competitors there will be, in which classes, how many Supersizers, etc months before the event itself. The problem with making a schedule is all of those that wait to register until August (or even Sept). Until we have accurate car counts, we don't know how many Officials and Staff are needed, how big meeting locations need to be, how many run groups are needed, etc. So, the best way to encourage drivers to sign up early is to have an increasing fee schedule the longer one waits.

I'm just excited that I get to share a run session with the legendary Ken Brewer!

Will show up w/ the GT-R.

Maybe TTS trim, maybe TTU.

maybe both.....

 

 

unless Targa comes in. Then might miss the fun at Miller.

Posted

Will, you thinkin of doing the targa? I think we're trying for 2010. Probably in something quite slow.

Bump..... ya'll better get a move on.

 

I am about to put TTB-TTF in with the big kids. I can't justify having a seperate group for 17 and 22 cars on a 3.0 mile track.

I signed up, did that help? Race groups don't look any better? What happened to all these west coasters that were going to fill the TT ranks? Maybe we should look at going back to Mid-O for 2010

Posted

why, so we can have the economy kill the fields there too? Its set to return to Mid-O for 2011 & 2012 for what its worth already. I'd be lobbying to set the location for 2013 & 2014 myself since those likely aren't in stone yet....

 

its 2600mi to MidO & back, 3200mi to Miller & back for me, so yippie on that one... I'm looking forward to the new track, but I do love Mid-O too

Economy was bad last year also & Mid Ohio is in the center of the US population base, although Rd Atlanta would be cool, VIR seeems a little far East but I would attend.

the location for 2013 & 2014

Rd Atl

 

x2.

 

VIR would be really cool also

 

Gonna try to drag the family out to Utah next summer, that's the plan anyway. Not sure the cost to go to Utah would be all that much less than going to OH. A few more days time maybe. If you're hauling out multiple sets of sticker tires/wheels, boxes of brake pads and such, what's a little more gas and a few more hotels

Posted

The problem is there are no truely good tracks right smack in the middle of the country. I loved heartland park for the runoffs last year. But most people hated it. Hence why the SCCA moved to the Drag Strip known as road america.
