Yano, we don't say this often enough:

Thanks for handling all of our pre-registration for us, Jamie!

If you drive the whole course backwards, do you get to do the reverse slalom forward?

REGISRATION NOTE:
Saturday and Sunday are two separate events. To attend both, you must register for BOTH events. Saturday is the Gymkhana/Practice event, and is a regular-priced $30. Sunday is the Points event and is also $30 unless you're registered for Saturday. If you're registered for Saturday, you are eligible for the discounted $20 entry on Sunday.

In short: One day or the other = $30. Both days = $50. Registration for each day is completely SEPARATE.

Nope. It's still an autocross, all the usual safety rules apply. Wouldn't want to see your van on its side after trying to negotiate that slalom!

I don't think we're authorized to camp. That's a question for Steve if you're serious.

Meh. For me, it's an hour home and an hour back. 120 miles = 4 gallons of gas = $16. Way cheaper and I get to sleep in my own bed!

But, you might be able to hook up with some of the outta-towners and maybe get some room-sharing going on to make it work.

Or you could pitch a tent in Jamie's front yard.

In the past the airport has not allowed overnights. We can leave stuff, but we have to be out by dark.

There's a decent motel (dunno, like a Quality Inn or something) on 54 at I 75. About 20 min from the airport.

Not a chance...I just resodded the front yard in June, and no one's sticking any tent stakes into it. Back yard...but best sweep for Basset mines, first.
