    NOLA in Nov

    A few things I wanted to check on for the NOLA event in November....

    Since the track has a kart track, who would be interested in something NASA specific? Inter-Class battles? Extra season points (JK)? See how many sessions until all of NASA is banned? Or should we just leave it as it's there, use it if you want?


    Who's going?


    Should we do a big Sat night party or just leave it mellow so people can feel free to go downtown?

    I have considered it but would need to know five or six CMC cars were going to be there if I was going to drive that far.
    Any idea on that subject?

    521 miles for me. I don't know. That's a hard one.
    Hallett is 456 miles and if it was not Hallett it would not be worth it but at least NOLA is I-10 almost all the way. Googlemaps shows the trip time at 8:53.

    I plan on going. My better half is also slated to go but I'm sure she will want to spend most of her time in town.

    Unless Micheal and Dan will skip the event too... I will be there. I booked my room yesterday. I don't want to drive that far, because it will cause me to take extra days of vacation...but I did put money into my budget for the year.

    Michael, you gotta come too, we need to keep the battle going to the last corner of the last race of the season. There was talk at Nationals of some out of region interloping carpet baggers joining us. RE: Party, I kind of like Dave's shindigs. RE: points, Im still voting for allowing race points from 1 out of region event. That wont help TX racers but might convince some folks to travel from out of region and set the precedent for next year.

    I'm planning to go. I second the vote for Dave's shindig. The karting track sounds fun...AI vs. CMC anyone? Spectators could pay $5 to predict the number of "incidents" before we get kicked out and the drivers involved. Winner gets free track time, proceeds buy beer for the karting officials.
