I'm thinking about going to the Devens Tour this year but have a few general questions.

What hotel does everyone usually stay in?
How secure is the site at night? Can we leave the cars and trailers on-site instead of dragging everything to the hotel Friday and Saturday nights? I think I would rather leave my tire trailer there than an unsecured hotel parking lot. Can you tell I'm a bit paranoid?
How hectic is the schedule, such as... do the organizers get ticked off if you don't head to impound exactly on time? I haven't been to a national event.
Are the tech guys looking for any reason possible to kick cars out, my 5 point is about 8 years old. It has Y shoulder belts and I want to do a roll bar and individual shoulder belts when I replace them.
Any advice for a first timer at a national event?
Lastly... is anyone traveling through northern Jersey with a (half-empty) two car hauler to get there?

I still haven't decided if I want to go, the 4 hour drive has something to do with it. I'm not sure if I can procure a car trailer for the weekend. Also, I'm not all that competitive locally so I would be going just to be beaten by a different group of people... yet no one has registered in CP yet!

Thanks for all the advice! I'm not running FS, but a streetable CP car instead!

My street tires are my rain tires, so if I'm driving the car there I'll be set. I used to carry OFF on the trailer so I'll have to load it back up. I'll have to get the stickers at tech, unless I can have them mailed when I register. I'll double check my numbers. No one has mentioned anything about the car being too loud yet. It has a full length leaky exhaust with a cat so it is on the quiet side.

Last time I weighed the car it was 3285 with a full tank. I have light rims, a Hawker battery, no emissions or A/C, and no rear seat cushions. So it isn't all that much lighter than stock.

I remember hearing a story about a guy at the Devens tour, but he was out in the weeds with a beacon thingy looking for a rare turtle or something. I think he wanted to shut down the event since it was turtle mating season... and the turtles were on opposite sides of the course!
