I will be there running the LSX Rumble Class F (11.50). Yes, I do have class. If you need any AMSOIL, GEDDEX or NOWET down there let me know, I will bring it down.

I may have the pleasure to drive down with Joe. All he would need is clothes. The trailer has everything to survive for a month.

I read that the gates will open at 12 noon on Friday. This will allow me to leave a little later, I thought the gates where opening noon on Thursday.

I'm hoping to be over there for Saturday. I'll be in Palm Beach, so it's a short 4 hour drive each way.

According to NMCA Digital (in the ticket price section) you can buy a Thursday through Sunday pass.

However the schedule only shows the gates opening Friday at 12 noon and "(NMCA) Test & Tune 1:00pm to 5:00pm."

I would like to T&T, so I hope the track is opening Thursday. (or earlier than 12:00 noon Friday) so we can pay, park, unload, tech, etc.

I also hope they are including the LSX racers for T&T, not just the "(NMCA)" racers?

Yes, the NMCA host Hotels are the Best Western ($99.) & Days Inn ($70.)

Haven't made any reservations/plans yet.

Is there a hotel you won't recommend?

It looks like they don't have much information on their website. But I seen on Sunday they have a sportsman race I might be interested in that. Maybe I'll come down and see everybody. They didn't have a time what time the gates open on Sunday or time runs start. Let me know.. Rick..

Not sure if you guys have seen this or not, but to get your entry paid by Scogging Dicky as an LSx racer, you need to print out your registration on line and bring it with you.

Here is a quote from Scogging dicky;





I don't know if you've seen the press release, but we are paying the entry fee at the first race (Bradenton, FL) for any and all LSx racers that print the form online and takes it with them to check-in. No hassles, no catches, no limits to how many racers get their fees paid.

See the info I posted and a link to the form here: http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/gm-per...nge-event.html

I am going to look at the schedule for the track, if that is not any help - I will ask the NMCA for more details.
If they will open on Thursday, this would change the plans for many if not all for traveling. My plans are to be there when the gates open.

The track's schedule says they are having their normal T&T on Thursday night?

I can't imagine the gates opening Friday @ 12 noon and having T&T an hour later.

probably best to call NMCA for the quickest/most accurate answer at (714) 444-2426
My guess is they will allow parking on Thursday but it is just a guess because that is how they did it a few years back for in Memphis.

I have asked them via email several times to update their web page
