1 month left? Good thing I just bought my car last weekend.
Yea got the email and had an oh E36 M3 it's real feeling.
NEW MIATAS! WOOT WOOT!
I took this warning as notice that it was a good time to make a hotel reservetion.
Here are details from The Rules Page:
The host hotel for this year’s Challenge is the Best Western Gateway Grand, located at 4200 NW 97th Blvd., Gainesville, Fla., 32606. Book a room by calling them at (352) 331-3336 and ask for the GRM block. Rate is $94.00 per night.
However: I was told that there was no $94.00 rate and rather booked at $109.

You have plenty of time.
New miatas. Sweet!
looking forward to pounding the E36 M3 out of that girl car
I think slowest run should win the Miata. Pretty sure that'll be me.
More excited about the new Miata than my own car now.
How many teams are registered so far?
Well sonofabitch. I shoulda signed up sooner. I wish I would've known about the ND opportunity :(
*any of the first 20 guys willing to sell their miata seat?

When I log into the registration page it show 31 entries and a number of people with stated intent are still not registered.
Last year it was Abarths, this year Miatas. I had guessed that this year would be BMWs since there seems to have been a lot of BMW coverage this year.
I am very happy about New Miatas! Not selling.
Yep, not selling.
My hotel room was 99?
I think the $99 hotel room was for one full bed. No way I was going to sleep with a 7 year old that does laps around his bed at night. We upgraded to two beds.
So far...it looks like our whole family will be there. 
...and for those of us who will be dragging our junk 1000 miles....we have 27 days!

We also have a few teams that either had to sign up offline or were comped their entry fee because they weren't able to make it last year. So the official number is up to 35 now. Should be a great field!
Sorry about the wrong pricing for rooms on the event page. I'll fix those now. Apparently they changed without me knowing.

I am aware of 2 heavy hitters who are planning to sign up late.
if anyone in the mid atlantic is looking for a car for a trash build (with 98% of the parts ready to go) and would be doing it for YOU, not me, with the agreement that it would be available for you to autocross and rallycross at any time after the event. message me.
even If I had a fist full of cash the Vette won't be done, I do want to drive down and get in the way, learn somethin' so if Ya'll don't mind see ya there. The Guy I work For Had me build a Unique Cobra from his ( clasp your Hands) Burned Up ERA 427 car, Well I was given the bare Chassis, just needs blasting and Painting and any rubber parts. Possible challenge car.w/ basic Bad A** engine. Les say's a turbo Mitsubishi, Found a pair of Jag. V-12 Engines and related parts for a Grand , That could be Kool.
Just spoke to the Best Western and there are no more rooms left. Help!! Looking for suggestions. Anyone else having this issue??? Thx
We plan to have an extra team member along this year? Does anybody have a banquet ticket that they won't be using or could sell?

Banquet tickets are available through the online store. The store is acting a little strange right now but it still works. We're working on it.
