Wifey and I will be there both days with North Country. We will be getting there sometime on Friday. Sure hope the hotel has a good parking place for us pulling trailers. I'll be in the RS running in Improved, Susan in the 997C2S competing in SS. Will be good to meet conehead members from other regions. We also will have 2 way radios, channel 1, sideband 1. I only trailer the RS.

I have never been to a Zone competition event and I have a question. How soon is it appropriate to start talking trash about the other zones? I don't want to jump the gun here.

Hell yeah I'm going, it's 5 minutes from my house!!!

I don't know who the hell picked the Garden Inn in Windsor. My wife does scrapbook events there and they don't have **** for parking!! 'Google Map' it on satellite image, it's the green roof building to the right of the water tower, and see for yourself. You'd probably be better off in Enfield, CT or near Bradley International Airport on rt. 75. When the Moto-x nationals come to town, they stay near the airport, I've seen Ricky Carmichael's transporter @ the Homewood Suites on rt 75 for example.

I assume the dinner will be @ the Garden Inn?

I can't wait either!!

I'm really looking forward to the event, skills or not, trash talk or whatever. This is only my second year at autocross so I'm treating it as a learning experience.
Car #887, Scruffy.

Something told me to do a drive by and check that place out. We are already booked too. I wonder how many people will be trailering their cars to the event?

I'm sure a few from our group will trailer their cars up. We're pushing for a good showing, as this is relatively close for us (easily under 4 hours away for most of us).

Not really trash talk but...I just heard from a corner worker from last Saturday. Apparently I nicked a cone that flipped up in the air and landed right side up and in the box. I know, this post is useless without pics.

So far, looks like Metro is going to take home the most hardware. That is because there are 5 drivers coming from their region. NCR has wifey and I, NER has 3. Looks like everybody is waiting till the last min to register, and pay an extra $20.00 late fee.

If you drive like you do at the Glen, we'll win for sure.

Do scantily-clad women follow you all over, waiting for photo-ops? It seems like wherever your car is...bam! There is a bikini! Or two! And a hose!

Got to get it in gear. With it being so close it would be hard to miss.
