There seems to be a little bit of a disconnect between the number of registrations we have had returned with payment for the event and the number of actual reservations made at the hotel.
PLEASE...GET THOSE REGISTRATIONS BACK TO US WITHOUT DELAY...PLEASE
Things have to happen and we need to get our numbers correct...for the benefit of everyone.
Update...part 2
With a goodly number of people showing up on Wednesday...the opportunity for exploring on Thursday is something that I am sure a lot of folks will want to do.
We have pre-planned routes in hand, that are NOT part of Friday and Saturday routes. Rides that our Club has used in the past, and are in slightly different areas than what we will be using for this event. SSoooo...if you want to go for a ride on thursday during the day...those routes will be available once you get to the hotel. Get a group together and go out and have a ball...while the rest of us got absolutely bonkers with all the thursday arrivals. We MIGHT be able to have a few Clubmembers available to go along...but nothing guaranteed for Thursday...that will depend on volunteer availability..and no specific time for departure at this time. still a work in progress
Update...part 3
Thursday evening reception...this will run from 6-11 in one of the function rooms at the hotel. there will be a cash bar and light snacks spread out during the evening...
AAAANNNNDDDDD...a little something to get the competitive juices going and have a little bit of fun at the same time
PINEWOOD DERBY!!!
(google it if you are without knowledge)
Having been involved with Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts for most of the last 30 years, one of the best activities for kids...and adults...has been Pinewood Derby. Being the car guy in my sons' cub scout Pack back in the day...we kinda took Pinewood Derby to a new level...and had a ball doing it. Over the years myself and a few other adults have done Adult Night derbies as fundraisers for various units...and when you get a bunch of grownups in a big room, with NO KIDS..and a few cocktails, things get pretty fun in a good sort of way.
The best part?...I already have about 75 cars pre built and ready to go...aluminum 4 lane track and electronic timing...
I am SURE that a bunch of you folks out there have either kids..or grandkids...that have done this and might even have a car to bring...great...bring it on!! Its not like it will take up much room in a Miata...it will fit in the center console or door pocket!!
yes...we will ask for a small donation ...at the event when you pick your car...to cover costs of trophies ...
Timeline for this will be 6-7 car picking and registration...racing will start promptly at 7...should be over by 9...plenty of time for you to get your beauty sleep and get ready for Friday rides
OK..I have gotten a couple of e-mail messages from folks about this event.
If you have a hotel reservation, you should have gotten your event registration via email in mid February.
If you have NOT gotten your event registration form, please drop me a line and I will make sure the proper folks get it to you immediately

Still spots available...
cone on out and have some fun!!
Well...time for another post on this
If anyone is interested in coming we have spots still available
3 days of fun for not a lot of $$$...drop me a PM if interested...still spots available due to cancellations
well folks...I guess it's time for an update...the following is how I responded to someone that is attending...an overview of how things are planned...specific times will be nailed down and published in the booklet that everyone will receive at registration
Thursday is pretty loose...registration...casual rides...pre-planned route instructions will be on hand and whatever floats your boat...I believe Bruce will be 'taking a group' for a ride...
thursday evening meet/greet at the hotel...there will be light snacks..starting at 6...NOT DINNER...and from 7-9 a Pinewood Derby race in the function room at the hotel...cash bar
Friday early start..out by 8...to the start points...then ride..then lunch on the road (included)..then depending on what you chose..up to Lime rock for either autoX or parade laps..or both..dinner off site in Burlington, CT (included)...about 1/2 way between Lime Rock and the hotel (convenient, eh?)..cash bar....over 1/2 the cars will be at LRP.....35 minute ride from dinner back to hotel
so you will be out ALL DAY on Friday...
More of the same on saturday..depart hotel about 8 to the start points...rides...lunch..then make way back to hotel...a bit of down time..cocktail hour at 6...dinner at 7..cash bar..(notice the recurring theme here?)
dress is casual..casual..comfortable..you will be receiving a polo shirt upon arrival...along with other goodies...
Countdown begins...
37 days until Cruisin'!!!
Just sent out a registration form to a guy in PA...this is the LAST one I will send.
we have to cut things off at some point so we can have all of our numbers correct...and that point is NOW.
looking forward to seeing all of you folks in a couple weeks
Joe
