    When was the cutoff for hotel reservations? If I missed it, hopefully there will be some people willing to share a room (I'd chip in). I can't get the hotel info until after registering, which I'm not sure if I will do online or on site yet. I have less than 400 miles on my build so I don't have a whole lot of confidence in it yet. It's gonna be really tough for me to make it, but I'm definitely trying.

    I wish BRG was in June and NG in July. BRG would have been a good test. 12 hour trip to NG Hope nothing goes wrong.

    It's not so much the breaking it in, but discovering and fixing all the random problems that may arise before the trip. I bought this thing dead, dropped another engine in and found transmission wasn't working. I ended up swapping out almost everything possible on the car. Engine, trans, wire harness, all from different models and years. This is my frankenstein, lol. Anyway, I'm hoping for the best.


    Alan, when's the deadline for getting them at a discounted rate? Or are they even at a discounted rate for us?

    So who can tell me what NG is like? The obvious stuff on the schedule but what do you do in downtime/at night? I know people bring their families/wives and use it as a vacation so do people do their own thing or what?

    Think of a car show type setting every night... The parking lots are full of groups of people hanging out talking about cars and other subjects. Some drinking some not. Pretty much a week of hanging out with old friends and making new ones.

    While I love the race events, I think this is the part I enjoy the most. Just chilling in the evening and talking to like minded idiots

    Agreed with all the above. Very laid back, there are usually a few groups of people hanging out around the cars. You can hang out with a group or wander around between them. There is typically drinking in the parking lot but it's not really a crazy party atmosphere (most of the time at least) so if that's not your thing you won't feel left out.

    What makes the NG great is that it is a full package for motorsport enthusiasts. It doesn't matter if you are there for the racing (one type or all types), there for the car shows (every night at the hotel is a mini car show), or just there to hang out with fellow 3/S owners you will have a great time. What you do while you are there depends on what you want to do. The people are great and you will make new friends every year.
