The Holiday Inn. She knew everyone and what they drank. They ran out of Kettle 1 and she made sure there was enough there the rest of the weekend.

During a conversation with the hotel GM today I found out that Mya is still there AND if there are any specific requests for "adult beverages" they will make sure to have some on hand. Just let me know.

And, does anyone know if JJ will be able to make bail so he can still come to the R4? I heard on the news that the Feds rounded up a bunch of the family this week and got a little worried. :D :D :)

I got some information from Hershman, but has the hotel list been put together?


I also didn't see any entrant fee costs or pit pass fees posted? How much will those be?

Hotel list should be posted soon. I discovered late that several of the hotels have changed names or closed. The Holiday Inn is offering a special rate and is the location for the Bench Race Bash. That information has already been posted in the hotel thread.

Pit pass for Tuesday - Thursday are $10.00 per day. Pit pass for Friday - Sunday are $5.00 per day and will include lunch.

Entry fees are $15.00 each class except Stock Car ($5.00) and GT Coupe ($25.00) which includes one handout motor. At least one additional motor can be purchased for $10.00.

Sorry everyone. I should have posted this earlier. Too much to do and too little time. :)

BTW - what is a Retro Snob?

Awesome. This gives me plenty of time to get the staff trained and have security sweep the area. Still trying to find the correct shade of red for the carpet. And don't worry.....your "special amenities" will be ready.

Good evening Mike. Could you please tell me what handout motor will be in use for the Friday night GT Coupe race, i.e., Falcon 7 or TSR D3 ?

Thanks.

Thanks.


I decided after the R4/2 that we would alternate between the two motors. Since last year we used the Falcon 7 this year will be the TSR motor. I already have them in stock with extras for those who want to test before the R4/4.
