NG16 - Information and a chance for you to influence the location

[Beef6]

Voted! Being so close makes Pittsburgh a no brainer for me, although I have only been to 1 other NG (Pittsburgh last year) I really hope to make it next year no matter the location.

Ya, if it goes into July I definitely can't come (except maybe like one day if it's in Pittsburgh). If it's in June there is a better chance.

And Brian, if you have a daily I wouldn't worry about it a bit. Put on decent pads, change the fluid and your good. As long as you don't have overheating troubles I don't see any issues. Your car is probably pretty light so should be easier on it in terms of coolant and brake temp. It really is a blast!

Agree we need to avoid 4th. Holiday traffic sucks with zero tolerance radar, double the volume, and hotel rates go up.

Ok, that's what I was figuring, too. So our preferred week is June 21-26 or July 12-17. June will still be first choice (sorry, Terry - sometimes even being all that doesn't help...).

Done!
Pitts: 1,340 miles
Michigan: less than 1,200 miles to state line
Indy: just over 1,000

So its a 2 day trip regardless.

Update, as of 10pm EDT on 7/9:

Indy - 42
Michigan - 5
Pittsburgh - 30

15 total voters.

I completely understand. Would much rather have it where I couldn't make it and it's better for 10 other people.

OOPS! It's been brought to my attention that I may have been unclear about a couple of things...

First, this voting is not only about the number of votes (which will determine the location of NG16, if there is one), but it's also about the number of people that vote (which will determine if there's enough interest to have NG16). So it's REALLY important that people cast their votes.

Second, if your location wins and you cannot attend NG16, you CAN sell registration. There is a small transfer fee, but this way there's no obligation.

Third, if your location does NOT win, you can get a full refund within about a week of the poll closing. It has to be a very brief time because we'll need to get busy FAST on securing tracks, etc., and we'll need to know what type of funds we have to work with, stuff like that. This is going to be one heck of a balancing act...

Hope this helps to clarify. Please promote voting! This is how we're hoping to secure NG16!

6 Votes for the underdog, just because I haven't been to an NG in MI yet. I'll be there no matter where it is so it doesn't matter to me.
