[Alan92RTTT]

[n2nsanity]

What's the pricing looking like? I'm not going to jinx myself again this year. I'll pay if/when I get there, lol.

[Alan92RTTT]

pricing is different than last year. We'll post it on the NG site and in this thread when its final.

[DuTTch]

To quick again darn it

[Alan92RTTT]

yep, ya gotta wait till we say its done.

We have to test it after we put the new code on the site.

[Slacker1357]

Can't wait for the NG this year. I missed out because of deployment last year and they took leave away from me the day before I was supposed to leave.

Now my car is at Pampena's and should be done and ready for the races. I registered for everything

[futurevr4man]

when are you all planning to do the gokarts?

[Slacker1357]

You mean Mr. 1st place in FWD stock drags?
It turned into a race of Auto vs. stick. Of course you won.. lol
oh... you sold the car? just read your sig.

EDIT:

Due to my recent accident, I am crossing my fingers in hope of my car being fixed in time for the event.
I don't want to take another loss. I couldn't go last year because they cancelled my leave when I was in Kuwait and had to eat the money.
This year, an accident... FML

[DuTTch]

still no mention of associate sponsors on the 3sng.org website

Ok
What are the best dives to eat at?

Memphis was easy because the food network talked about it all the time.

BBQ I'm sure! Ribs maybe?

[Alan92RTTT]

Go the the DDD site and their are 3 places listed.

Porters steakhouse in the doubletree has a great breakfast buffet.

[95gto]

Where to eat all depends on what you like. Here is a local magazine dedicated to food in the STL area:

The one food recomendation I do think people should look into, if you have never had them before, is a bbq pork steak. For some reason these delicous things don't seem to be too prevelant outside the midwest.

[green-lantern]

Alan, sorry if I missed it but how much is the basic weekender package with no events?

[Alan92RTTT]

You missed early registration, Basic registration is now $125.

[green-lantern]

For weekend?

[Chris@Rvengeperformance]

Would it make sense to sell my registration and just be a guest on my friends now that my car is blown up? If anything I am only going to do autocross with his car.

[Alan92RTTT]

For weekend?
We don't have a weekender any more. The idea was that a "weekender" registration would get a lot of people that could come only for the weekend. We never had that many weekend onlys. Most of the ones that did wanted to come early and it just ended up being a lot more work for us.

Only if you sell your package to someone at prices higher than the early reg prices you paid. If you sold your registration for what you paid for it, you would save $10 by switching to a guest(assuming your wife is still coming). You'd save more just canceling the drags/dyno and getting the refund thats allowed per the rules.

ok, can you cancel the drags and dyno for me then? sorry about the trouble, it certainly wasn't something expected.

Paul, I think Alan directed that reply to Chris - but good try!

On another note someone on the Spyder list noted the 3SNG site is calling for St. Louis, IL. Shouldn't that say St Louis , MO ??

[green-lantern]

Paul, I think Alan directed that reply to Chris - but good try!



oh lol, I didn't email her anyway ha ha

[Alan92RTTT]

Depends on how technical you get. I did not realize that the STL in Il was actually East St Louis.

Of all the events that week only one is in ST Louis, MO (gokarts) All the rest are in IL. Track is in Madison, IL (neigobors East STL) the banquet is in collinsville, Il and the Car show is in Alton, Il

But unless you spend the week in the parking lot at the hotel you'll probably end up in STL, mo on several occasions.

[bridge]

East side...... Different

It is all in the metro area, so not really a big deal. And for those that are not familiar with the area you can be reassured that all our events are not in bad parts of the area. We will not be in East St. Louis or Washington Park.


East side...... Different

Tell people around here you are headed to the east side they think two things, $1 bills and strip clubs. East Side = Sauget, IL

[Granny]

I'm looking at the map where the hotel is and the race track.
So Sauget and Washington park are the areas you want to avoid?

Mike and were just talking about this the other night.

We wondered off in a bad part of Memphis by accident one year.
I don't want to do that again. :unsure:

No kidding, it can be hard to miss the bad part of town in Memphis unless you stay on the interstate lol

[95gto]

East St. Louis and Washington Park are the bad spots just east of the river. Sauget isn't in the same category but unless you find the need to visit strip clubs there really isn't any reason to be there.

The track is right off of the highway and is a straight shot down the highway from the hotel, so travel to and from the track will be a piece of cake. And when heading into St. Louis for sight seeing or go karts you just stay on the highway until you cross the river.


Also if you want to go somewhere and have questions feel free to ask a local, we will gladly help.

The STL group had a similar issue with passing an exit and winding up in a questionable part of Memphis on the way to the car show in 08. So I feel you on the high tension city tour thing.

LOL...I'm glad I didn't take that turn.

We were told by the locals we needed to leave but they wouldn't give us any directions so we just kept getting in deeper and deeper. :Bwahaha:

[nodoze]

so i went looking for awnsers and cant find any ..... i dont plan on running my car in any events and am only going to be their thursday afternoon through sunday morning , would registering my car as a participant or taking someones empty guest spot be a better deal? just want to know before i pay only 25 dollar difference but apparently the site read i get a free tshirt with guest spot :) also if i bring a certified helmet can i ride along in events that allow so ?

[Alan92RTTT]

If your 3S is coming you need to be a registration.

[nodoze]

just to stave my curiosity , what are the pros of full registration v guest, since you already made it clear if my 3s is coming i need to register full

[Alan92RTTT]

You get to bring your 3S and your can put your 3S in the car show.

Guest registrations are intended for friends an family.

[nodoze]

oh gee alan are you saying were not friends ? i was getting the whole wrong vibe from you i guess ;) thnx

[Alan92RTTT]

Chill he registered and paid several hours ago.

[nodoze]

pfft broomfield you still owe me 2 dollars !!! im comin to ng just to collect on that debt .... wait you bought me minecraft nvrmind

[k bone 25]

STL Local checking in. :coo3l:

I actually work 5 minutes from the hotel.

There's a White Castle within walking distance for all of your late night burger cravings. lol
There's a family water park within walking distance as well. Pack your suits if you're bringing the little ones.
There's a Country Dance club within walking distance... Get your boot scootin' boogie on.
There's a go-kart, mini golf, and arcade within walking distance. Let your kids play games for tickets for trinkets


With the car show being in Alton... I would be remiss without talking about Fast Eddies for awesome, cheap food and cold drinks. (Lori and Alan got a taste of it on one of their visits)

Also, has there ever been consideration to giving locals "day passes" at a certain price points?

For instance... let's say I want to bring my dad to something one day and my brother another but their schedules don't allow them to attend all events. Very pricey for a local to bring a "guest" like that for one event, hence a "day pass". Just throwing out ideas.

[Alan92RTTT]

Race events will have spectator fees for people that are not part of the group.

[k bone 25]

I must have missed that.

Prices?
Info location?

[Alan92RTTT]

The spectator option is for the track entry ONLY! $10 at the gate.

Hanging out at the hotel for people that are not registered is not allowed.

Car show is at the part so its free to the public.

Unfortunately no real time for fast eddies on Saturday. Only a few hours separate the car show and the Banquet.

[kywhitelightning]

I still haven't seen it posted yet, when is the dyno day and will race gas be available or do we need to source it ourselves?

Jeff

[xwire]

Race gas is not available and will need to be sourced yourself. As the track does not open until Wednesday night you may want to find it local to you and bring it with you. Not many places in STL to get race gas besides the track unless you buy in bulk.

[stealthify]

I still haven't seen it posted yet, when is the dyno day

Last I heard, the dyno sessions will happen the morning of July 10th (Wednesday).

Come on Alan there is always time for a Fat Eddie Burger, a couple Big Elwoods, and some cold beer.:drink3:

There may not be time on Saturday, but a visit to Fast Eddies Bon Air is a highly recomended. The food is very tasty, the beer is super cold, and prices are pretty cheap. So for those looking for dinner ideas, I strongly recomend checking this place out on a weeknight. If you wait for the weekend it will be stupid busy.

And Kory you forgot to mention Bandana's BBQ in the list of walking distance food

So what's the parking situation at hotel? They told me 70 spots and Brent 42.

[Lori]

Hmmmm That's strange. I counted - can't remember the exact numer. There's a huge area right next to the hotel that trailers will be parking in, and several adjacent hotels, a couple of which are owned by the same people. No worries - parking won't be a problem. It's not my first rodeo.

Okay thnx Lori. The areal pic from google maps was very disleading

MAJOR PROTIP

IL State Troopers are relentless and the official Hotel is within a stone's throw of a State Police HQ.

Also, Collinsville's PD patrols 255/55/70/64 right by the hotel, too.

As a matter of fact, the entire 55/64/70 area is notorious for drug busts and speed traps. With so many people having out of state plates, please exercise extreme caution on the highways/roads.

Update on Race Fuel availability:

I happened to stop at a filling station in Arnold (south STL metro) on Saturday and saw that it sold 110 (leaded). I did not purchase any so I can't comment on quality but it can be had if someone needs some before they get to the track.

The station is a Phillips 66 at the corner of Jeffco Blvd and Villa Dr in Arnold, MO; right next to an ACE hardware.

Granny, missed you out in the parking lot this evening. Not that I was out there that long, either... Getting work done this evening and a little "me" time before it's too late...

As for whoever asked about registering on Saturday... We don't have a weekender registration this year, and no registration times specifically set up on Saturday. When you get in, hit me up, preferably in the morning before we leave, and we'll figure it out. Car show is at 10, so get in touch with me around 9 or so and I'll take care of it for you.

[J. Fast]

Any event updates?

This.

[R/T93]

Autocross underway. 2 sessions of 3 groups. Through 2 groups first session. Guess who has FTD so far!!!

No breakage yet this morning on any cars.

From the phone.

[R/T93]

I won the stock MAS drag event, Manny and his red 94 won the 2nd group, Von won the unlimited.
Scott Johnson did a fun run and sprayed off the line, launched like Pampena did in his famous NG drag vid, 11.2@ 133.

The weather impacted my times by .4 seconds (i ran a 13.4), it must of played hell on the faster cars.

From the phone.

[xwire]

Actually Scott won the unlimited he realed me in at the end...

Fastest Autocross time Dan Dillon 1:16.4 (yes, huge track)

[anyonebutme]

Honorable mention to Nate and his epic speed 9b car.

[OhioSpyderman]

Just got back and I can tell you that this was one of the best one's I've attended :)

Lori (and Alan, and Bob and....) did an AWESOME job!!!!

The track and it's crew were TOP NOTCH

My son and I attended everything except tonight's banquet (he needed to get back to HIS home for work)...

Meeting new members (and re-embracing the old) was the highlight of the event :)

Finally got to meet my chatbox buddies....2fnloud (Steve), Anyonebutme (Chris), TT4ME (Dave), WhiteDragon (Doug),RT/93 (Nathan), JasonY (Jason), TooTiredToRememberYourSN (Nadeem :) ...SUPER nice guy!!! ) [Hope I didn't leave anyone out...]

JeffW, Lori, Alan, Brian (Haig), SteveVR4 (3SX), Christie, Hans, Emilie (and Master Otto), Paul, Dave Lo....just some of the long timers (or ALL timers)....you are the best!!!

The newer crowd (or not so new) Lawdog and Bridge, CheckeredVR4 (Scott), B-Man (Bryan) [he is also a chat buddy!...and he needs new rotors..so lets take up a collection!!!], BigPete, and LOTS of VERY talented young lady drivers (who were not too hard on the eye as well :) )

These people came from EVERYWHERE...Tom (from Florida...originally from CA and attended MANY NG's), Nathan (from Washington), Kev (boost4vr4) from Mini Soda!... and the list goes on...

I was very flattered when someone would come to me and shake my hand....Gary (Mitsu Fan), Nadeem (I'llRememberYourSNTomorrow!), Chris and Doug (ABM and Whitedragon). I really enjoyed meeting each and all of you (and again, I apologize if I left anyone (I'm OLD) out....)

I want to thank you for letting me a part of your NG13 and want you to know that each and every one of you are my friends....

Safe travels home and hope to see you all again next year...

Bob. :)

...getting ready to call it a day and realized I forgot to thank my good friend Jeff (Gatecrasher) for winning the biggest of prizes (with my one measly ticket) at the banquet...

...also forgot I hugged his fiance, Vira (I had met her before, but who refuses a hug?) :)

Josh Mitoska...thank you taking care of Alex's leather needs (you're a good chat buddy too :) )

I will keep adding as flashbacks keep coming...

(Bob. :) )

[Alan92RTTT]

Bob, you won best Spyder. We have your Trophy and will figure out how to get it to you.

[CoopKill]

Awesomeness was missed! I will not miss the next, promise you.

[mb3000]

I've gotta make it out to one of these!

[TurboSinceBirth]

Where's next year tentatively?

[TT4ME]

Didn't take a lot of photos, but here is what I captured:

Tentatively, Pittsburgh, June 24-29.

[Chris@Rvengeperformance]

I have about 90 million pics I'll try to post tomorrow.

[redwngsrul-vr94]

(Bob. :) )

what was the big prize anyway? and YAY you won best spyder! Thats like winning a turtle race as a hare!

[Jeff V.]

Yeah, I'm a little confused. The only raffle ticket I had that won anything was one I bought. I picked up a Morgan's Motorsports shirt.

Bob and I did both bring home trophies though, albeit for VERY different reasons :lo5l:

[Maximal]

Tentatively, Pittsburgh, June 24-29.

Insanely pumped to hear this. Not only for the selfish reason that it's closer to me but I've heard good things about the road course (and I'm already looking into track days there to get some before-event practice in ;)).

I'm not sure where the drag races will be but if they're where I'm thinking my brother has raced there multiple times and says it's a really nice track.

[OhioSpyderman]

Jeff,

I "threw" in the part about winning the biggest prize :) (Hell at the time I wrote that, I had no clue what happened at the banquet....)

Bob.

[IPD]

props for pushing it to the east coast. i'm sure there's a bunch of rusted 3/s owners who will appreciate it.

Well there's no f-ing way you can loose that long distance title next year if you make it. :D

[2fnloud]

We might have a UK member join us next year ;)

Longest distance DRIVEN. gotta have a car.

[2fnloud]

There you go Pauly.

[CoreyB]

Pittsburgh? I'm in. Only an 11 hour drive.

[futurevr4man]

Corey can't wimp out next year now that its coming to him!!

And bob forgot he met me. I can't really be upset though, he did bring me two water bottles without even being asked! Maybe he could tell how hungover I was...

All in all NG was a lot of fun and I'm glad I went even though it was only 1 day and 2 nights.

Idk why my first one is upside down but oh well.

The last pic was an epic feast of 60 tacos that lasted only a few minutes haha

[bridge]

Tom even had pizzas delivered as well that nite...... Thank you!

[CoreyB]

Thats A LOT of taco's lol.

[anyonebutme]

trying to convince the girl at taco bell I was serious about buying 5 12 packs was quite the feat.

[Broomfield Racing]

Home finally! 13 hour day today in the race car...don't think I'll be driving to another NG. Trailer next time. Probably one of my favorite NG's though, besides coming home empty handed and going slow in drags. Road course and autox were awesome. Thanks to Alan, Lori, Bob, and everyone who attended. Thanks to JasonY for dropping a trans with me on Tuesday to reseal it, which ended up being a cracked bellhousing.

[futurevr4man]

You shouldn't have been asleep! Haha

[R/T93]

The girl had to ask us about 4 times. We had to say please, lol.

well it is closer to me. still across an ocean though.

I thought so :p

[B-Man]

One suggestion for next year. I understand not having trophies for all places 1-3rd. I'm cool with that, but can we still announce who won those positions at the banquet, even if they're not getting a trophy?

[k bone 25]

Too add on to that... instead of a trophies for everyone after 1st... maybe a certificate.

Then the person could throw that in a frame if they really wanted something to show off. A compromise between nothing and something.

Might as well just give a trophy honestly, or a plaque.

If cost is an issue, a certificate would be the least expensive option, wouldn't it?

[k bone 25]

Yeah, that's what I was going for.

It's the best of both worlds at a minimum cost.

[Alan92RTTT]

Something for 2nd and 3rd place has been a common comment. We have been discussing it and will do something for next year.
