***2016 Cruisin' CT Nutmeg Club 25th Anniversary Event***

2016 is the 25th Anniversary of the founding of the Nutmeg Miata Club....

Way back in January, at the planning meeting, there was a proposal put forth that the Nutmeg Club ,host a wizbangreallybigshoo event to mark that anniversary. Well...here are the dates

JULY 14-17, 2016

Regional event...125 cars max..3 days..multiple runs going on simultaneously...autoX and laps at Lime Rock. ..Roller Coaster Run..Poker Runs..East..West..North..all the good places...etc..etc..

Host hotel information

Sheraton Hartford South
100 Capital Blvd
Rocky Hill, CT 06067

860-257-6000

That number is directly to the front desk. There is a block of rooms ready and waiting to be booked just for this event in the name of the Nutmeg Miata Club.

Start planning now....but..the actual registration form for all the rides, runs, and activities, and the timeline for each, is still a work in progress and will not be ready for a while...so please do not ask about that yet.

I can guarantee that you will have OPTIONS as to where you want to go...how much you want to drive..self paced and guided... We will show you some pretty obscure little roads out in the middle of nowhere that will be a joy to drive...and bring you to very scenic area in multiple sections of the state. You WILL drive your car over the 3 days...starting on Thursday afternoon...and Friday...and Saturday.

Stay tuned for more info in this section of the Forum...

Latest count on room bookings as of today

105 rooms:lol:

ok folks..here is the latest news from the hotel


there are 5 King rooms remaining for this event...for Thursday-Saturday only

If you plan on arriving on wednesday...or staying over on sunday..you must book a double room. this is most likely what caused the glitch in the online reservation system over the weekend.

Additionally...there are only 20 double rooms remaining on top of the 5 King rooms

so it looks like we are going to be fully subscribed very soon!!

latest from our event Chairman

From the US we have, AR 1, FL 1,IL 7 ,IN 6, MA 4, MD 4, MI 3, NJ 2, NY 18, OH 4, PA 11, RI 1, TX 4, WI 1, Canada AB 1,ON 25, QC 5. We also have 10 not counted due to no address, & a mess from CT that we are not counting. As of today we have 10 rooms left. Don't Miss Out!:shock:

OK folks...here is a little teaser for those who just MIGHT be interested in doing the AutoX portion of our event...which BTW, will be limited entry to something between 40-50 cars...and extra cost

The only difference between what you see in this video and what you will be doing is we will be going the opposite direction...and a vast majority of us will not be able to drive anywhere NEAR as fast or slideways as this guy...

enjoy

ok folks...we reached our limit...

THIS EVENT IS NOW FULLY BOOKED!!

With the following caveat...the registration forms will be going out this week to a few beta testers...selected from the registered hotel guests...to make sure that there are NO questions about the registration. then the form will go out, via email, to the remainder of the registered hotel guests.

The hotel will start a waiting list...as of noon today...in case there are cancellations...of which we have already had a few...so there remains a possibility that you still may get in at a later date if you are on the waiting list.

Looking forward to seeing you all this summer!!:mrgreen:
