Yeah we’re going to keep registration open as long as possible! The downside is I’ll need to pickup our tickets and passes at the track. So if anyone is interested last minute we should be able to get them in :tup: ---

i picked up a 10 x 10 tent for us to have with us at the event. my S14 is going in for tie rods, alignment, corner balance, new tires etc. today so it will be suitable for the track… the S13 is likely staying home since Woody and i need to cram our golf clubs in there. ---

I am SO looking forward to this - last year was a blast. The Rochester based crowd is all staying at a friend’s cabin about 20 minutes away (same as we did last year). ---

Ok guys! Here is the final bit of info for this weekend! If anyone else wants to join us last minute, I’ve managed to hold our price down to Thursday at the latest! As I mentioned before, we’re lapping _3 times_ this weekend: Friday at 12:00 (noon) - 3 Laps Friday at 6:15pm - 3 Laps Saturday at 12:00 (noon) – 2 laps Also, there are some other cool things that we’re going to get to do: - Saturday 10:30 am –10:45 am - Whelen / Blackdog / TriPoint Technical Directors Visit with us (Tech Talk) - Saturday 11 am – 11:30 am - SPEED World Challenge paddock tour - Saturday 2:30pm - 2:45 pm - Tony Gaples / Eric Curran / Eric Foss / Jason Saini visit our area for (autographs/Q&A) We’ll have some company in our area too. Since we won’t have a tent this year, there will be about 20 Corvettes and a few other performance cars next to us. Out parking area has changed a bit too since we don’t have the tent - we’re closer to the track and inside the turn, kinda where the hospitality tent was last year. I need to pickup tickets at the track, and distribute them to everyone so I want to leave Buffalo at 8am on Friday. Is that a problem for anyone? Let me know ASAP so we can figure it out! I know the Rochester people are leaving a bit later. ---

Josh, some of us from Rochester will be arriving at a friend’s cabin near WG Thursday evening. What time do you think you’ll be getting to the track? Apologies if you’ve already talked to theblue, he’s been in the garage for days and I feel out of the loop 🙂 ---

Hopefully I’ll be at the track at about 10am. We should all plan on meeting at the gate at 10:30am so that I can give everyone their tickets and car passes. ---

I think since the weather might be shitty I’ll bring my truck with the 2 pop up tents from the dealership. I have a tonneau cover that locks so I can put stuff in there and keep it dry. ---
