THE NG11 Announcement - No hype, just the facts

[2fnloud]

That would be cool but I think that we will be required to keep in a single file line, for safety reasons.

Actually, I think trying to make a specific order would just complicate the process, and start to take joy of being in such a parade out of it. I certainly don't want to pissed off while driving the lap because somebody decided to be late, but just early enough that concessions are made and everyone has to move to allow them in, and then it happens again. It could also end up taking more than twice as long to set up, depending on how much staging are there is. IF there is going to be any kind of order, it better be very easy to discern who is in what category, and there should be maybe 3 categories at most.

Going by years is wholly complicated, because you will undoubtedly have cars like mine, that is a '94 with an ALL '98 body style. Only my headlights and quarter panels are original. That should change a bit as I put the AA back on. My point is that putting my car up front with the other '94s would just confuse people if it is announced that they are going in order of year, and just look distasteful. It would be much easier to say, "Classic Body Style", "Partial Body Style", "Full kit Body Style". It would make it easy to organize, give spectators a chance to see what the cars originally looked like, and allow them to see what people have done to customize them. It also gives a sort of, "Here is how things progressed on the platform" concept (although it may not be true, but they don't know that).

Grouping cars by body style would be fine as well. In terms of easy lineup, it could probably be made as part of the registration process. When you register you must put in what kind of vehicle you'll be driving in the lap (including year, body trim (RT vs ES for example, or kit), maybe color, etc), that way the organizers can simply assign you a number in the line so that the appropriate cars are grouped together (however the organizers want to do that). If it's not single file, then just make rows. Say for example, you get Row 3, spot 3, then you'd be in the 3rd row back on the right side (assuming 3 wide). Doing it at the time of registration would allow time for the organizers to determine the best way to group cars together, and everyone would get assigned a spot number when they show up. This just risks that some people wouldn't show up, and maybe have holes that would need to be filled. Alternatively, you could have them register that info when people actually show up at the hotel the first day. That way you know they'd be there, but there'd just be less time to organize the info and assign spot numbers. Just my thoughts.

...i really don't care where i end up. i'm fairly certain that you'll be able to pick out which one is mine from orbit.

[93STLTH]

How about the people who drive the furthest to get there gets to go up front?

J/K of course.....

One thing that would be cool... if we could do it... line the cars up behind the start finish line and have us kiss the bricks.

[Lori]

You're ruining my fun!! Already planned on that. We'll photo it, too, of course.

[93STLTH]

Nice!!

[Show Killer]

I'm thinking since the Stealth was supposed to be the pace car the Stealths should be up front. Put those copy cat 3000gt's behind us. Then, arrange the Stealths in order of who has been to the most Ng's.

p.s. - I have only missed 1.

[DuTTch]

you are all retards seriously, who the fuck cares whos where?

[GTOJOE]

That's right. If i'm not there then nothing matters anyway As long as the official pace cars are at the lead the rest of you can just get a lottery vote. Leave poor Lori alone.

...because i'm bored, stuck for work 9-11 hours a day, 7-days a week, and suffering from GO1B. so yes, i'll mindlessly BS as i damn well please.
