2009 National Meet-Announcement !!!!!

[Al N.]

You can put the dates in pen now.

 

John, Mazda, and I had a call last night and picked a host hotel from a tight grouping we had gotten quotes from.

 

I will write a longer, more detailed post next week, but here are some deets:

 

Meet will be held June 29-July 2, 2009.

 

Again, here is a tentative schedule:

 

Monday

Noon - 6 PM - open registration/meet check-in

7 PM - Group Dinner

 

Tuesday

Group Breakfast

Long Drive/Tour...Lunch on Road

Evening free to visit Branson/See Show

 

Wednesday

Group Breakfast

Short Drive (Thorncrown Chapel visit?)

Free time in afternoon

Group Dinner

 

Thursday

Early Bird Group Breakfast

Optional Track Day Excursion (participate or spectate)

Dinner on the road or at host hotel

Movie Night?

 

It is our hope that many people will attend the trackday...which is about 2.5 hours away...a long day there and back, and we understand if people want to start heading home from the track or sleep at a hotel near the track. However, we feel that attendees should plan on staying in Branson Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights.

 

We moved the track day to the end, based on discussions with some track-centric people.

 

The host hotel accommodations start at $114, a 15% discount off rack rates. We will have camping and secondary hotel reccos for people who want to pay less (or more!) We will continue our tradition of putting responsibility for making room reservations in the hands of each attendee.

 

We are still putting together various odds and ends of the meet, and will post registration fees (covering selected meals, swag, etc.) as soon as we have that total. We recommend making reservations as soon as we have post the hotel info....perhaps we'll start a thread so we can keep track of who's booked already.

Al,

 

Which track is it and what direction from Branson?

 

Skip

[Kitcat]

Hallett??? It would seem to be an ideal 7 track as it appears to favor handling over horsepower. It's about 3 hours northwest of Branson (In a Seven).

[Al N.]

We haven't made a final decision on the track...it's between two.

This will be interesting. I get back from Boy Scout High Adventure in Minn. on June 27. Wash clothes and head for Branson on the 29th. Heck, the misquito bites won't have healed yet. Al, make sure I stay awake for all the activities. Russ zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
