You have Corey Rueth in there twice...
no i dont.
Opps, my mistake.... :P
Just checking the boards...has the parking situation been resolved or do you still need my help (whatever it may be!)?
Someone let me know
A
someone pony up for 4 spots and we will be good.
Deal me in. Battlestar Galactica AI 55, CMC 911, Couple kids, wife, dog, pit vehicles, and lots of cool refreshing beverages. Probably need another spot huh 8)
I'll be ordering my private own little oasis on paved parking lot (10 X 40).

Jeff,
I went to reserve a spot and it would only let me do 1 at a time does anyone know how to do more so we can reserve a block?
CP,
I just bought a spot.
One.
Small.
Never given any choices for anything.
Over.
jb
Cody,
I think you go select one, get into the "Cart", then go back and do another, etc. The pdf said something about it...
-chris
JB,
Roger that, I might be right behind you.
Did you get to pick your spot location?
Chris,
I tried that and it wouldn't let me.
I am sure I'm missing something. Stupid Cody.
Never mind - it didn't work. It should have, but it didn't...
Anyway, just to be safe, I reserved one (1) 10 x 44 space.
-chris
post up what spot # your in so we can try a stay together.
I wasn't given that info.

We're good, Adrian.Quote:

Got a deal workin' out.
FYI...The Calif. AI/CMC boys are trying to do the same thing and were hoping all of AI/CMC could have their own paddock. Our advice was to start small...take baby steps...get a regional AI/CMC paddock bought & paid for and then maybe, just maybe...the National office might be able to get us all together...region by region.
But...bottom line is that we've got to put of the cash and reserve the land.
For now, it's just about AI/CMC Texas only, So...here's the plan:
1) DD...work up that quick/dirty CAD diagram of a suggested Texas AI/CMC paddock (Colorado too...their our spin-off region since Chris & RayBob saw the light.) :shock: :lol:
2) In the next 24 hours, we really need to firm up either payment plan A or B:
Plan A- With our Texas treasurer's approval, we borrow from the series fund to reserve our paddock spot. Then...all drivers would pay the series fund back over the course of the next month with a deadline of MSRH in late June.
Plan B- The National office is willing to work an online deal where we all could register for the spot pro-rated online with a notation that they are together and part of the larger Texas paddock area.
Personally, I like Plan A as I think a single point of contact is easier to manage and there could be some additional perks by doing it as a block.
Let's try to pull the trigger on this tomorrow. I expect a few more discussions on the subject which will make things easier.

Middle paddock...spots A8-11 are premium land.

Q. How do I pick which space I want?
A. The selection will be part of the on line ordering process. Maps will be published that will allow you to click on the spaces you want. Don’t forget that the spaces are first come, first served so reserve early!
at this point why dont we all just get on there and get a 10x40 spot and have them place all AI/CMC racers spots together.
i'm thinking 10x40 is not going to be enough for me.
o.k. - i read the info and you pick a spot, write it down and the NASA folks will contact you to get the info on the space you want. this is willnot work. i see Joe Blow taking the spot i picked and he was called 10 minutes before me. now i got to go back and pick a new spot, i get called back and well, in the mean time someone else confirmed that spot.
hhhmmmmm. :?
We could do that too.
Why don't we all agree to reserve online by Sunday.
I'll talk to the National folks and pre-reserve 10-12 spots with the intent that they will all be paid for by Sunday nite.
Next decision...
Which spots???
(I still like middle paddock A8-11, but those are the bigger slots.)
We can get somewhat creative within our assigned area, and that will be where DD's CAD skills come into play...some blow up dolls and Texas flags and we own the place. :D
-=- T
upper paddock or lower paddock?
i say middle paddock row B spots 36-42 and row C spots 36-42.
i guess we need to keep in mind how close the showers andstuff are to were we stay.
How about recreating the Oklahoma land rush back in '89.
I can lay this out no problem, doing this ahead of time we can make sure we optimize the space.
What I need is a count as to what Trailer and support vehicles will be in the space.
Glenn = 24' Enclosed Trailer
David D. = Racecar only (unless I can get an enclosed before them)
Boudy = 20' Enclosed
Tommy = Battlestar Galactica 80' ??? plus Two racecars
Etc...
Where is the map?
I wasn't given any choice when I purchased a spot.
jb
ps
I think everyone should just go buy the space you think you need and let them group them all together or whatever.
middle paddock
thx,
where'd you get that?
Where are the others?
jb
there is a upper paddock map too. it will not let me attach it for some reason.
http://www.nasaproracing.com/nasa_ev..._id=579&edit=1
go there and read line #2. the word "middle" and "upper" are links to the maps.

Here's what I'd like to see happen:
1) The National folks "block out" some areas on the parking map for different groups/regions.
2) Then they set a deadline for people to register/pay for parking, if they want to be in those areas.
3) Once the deadline has passed, and people have paid, then Nationals sends an email to the people within the groups, so these people know who they are, and where their spaces are.
4) This group of people works out the space sharing among themselves.
Since we have two groups with "crossover people" - Texas AI/CMC and RM overall - we can ask that these two areas be adjacent to each other.
What do you think?

Todd was already working on this. i know he should have posted it, but thats Todd. i found out yesterday.Quote:

Todd will get the NASA folks to place us all together. how this will happen, who knows.

Let me know if I can do anything to help with this parking thing. I'm on the phone with Bryan right now and I've mentioned to him that Todd will be contacting him about this. He's up for the call anytime , Todd!
Need anything else, y'all let me know!
A
I just got the email (from Cohn) asking where I wanted to park.
I deferred to Todd.
Said to put all us goobers together somewheres.
jb
nice. i'll be ordering mine today also.
I guess I need to pay for one today as well??? is this what we are doing???
DD
JB fired the first shot. then the free for all ensued. better get yours before we have a chance to change magazines.
Okay, I just paid for mine... I'm in.
DD
Are you guys getting bigins or littlins I need either 4 small or 1 large my rig and trailer are 72 feet combined. I could always unhook the trailer and camp in the grass though, someone please let me know which one to get.
Thanks
Cody
Sheesh you guys are jumpy!!!
Not the way I personally would have done it, (I sound like my mother), but we'll go with the individual spaces/registrations.
Go ahead and register online for anywhere in UPPER Paddock D 1-12 and E 1-12. Those are the areas that Texas AI/CMC and California AI/CMC will be targeting and it's on flat ground. FIRM UP YOUR RESERVATIONS BY MIDNIGHT SUNDAY 5/20.
Next week, I'll work with Bryan to assure our Texas/CO folks are able to stick together.
The main issue is to commit and reserve...location can be worked afterward.
This way...if guys don't sign up until late, they will miss the chance to be with the group unless someone wants to sack up and buy a big chunk and then collect the dough from the guys later. (which was the approach we were attempting.)
For those that have already reserved, Bryan Cohn will likely be calling you to confirm where you want to be. If you want to pit with Texas AI/CMC...say so and indicate the area above! They just want to make sure that we're not "netting" folks up in this that might not want to be with the group.
Carry on....
PS- Last year the Texas racers were in an open field for 2 days before the setup crews arrived. It was fun and comical...but sorta made the "rush to get out of town" seem a bit unnecessary. :wink:
(I'm a bit loose with this stuff...some are wound real tight....sounds like we got the right combination!)
-=- Todd
OK...I just talked to Bryan Cohn.
We need to be more coordinated going forward and it'll be much more effective with single points of contact vs. everyone working individually.
After discussing with Bryan, we've got a great area on the UPPER paddock which is flat (this is a change from my post 10 minutes ago and is reflected above.) Go ahead and reserve online...but don't worry so much about the location. Upper paddock D/E 1-12 will give us 9600 sq/ft of space that we can do with as we wish. (boot up the CAD program, DD!)
This method can only be accomplished using a single point of contact! Bryan and the national folks aren't going to want to deal with 30 crazy Texans and a handful of surfer yahoos from Colorado!
Right now, we are the only ones reserving tarmac...so let's stay calm...no running...no screaming....nobody panic. Bryan has agreed to work with Peder Beckman from California and myself from Texas for AI/CMC....and we are talking behind the scenes.
OK...I've got to go to work again now. So should all of you...move along people...nothing to see. Stay tuned... :wink:
