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!

I'm actually on Hoosiers this season but I didn't see a place to make a tire selection until after I registered. I changed it afterwards but it isn't making the change.

I have a hotel room for 3 nights (leaving Monday morning), we can't leave stuff on-site Sunday night can we? Also I'm assuming tech on Friday evening requires we have the r-compounds mounted, kinda sucks since I'll have to change the tires just for tech then put the street tires back on. My hotel is about 1/2 an hour away.

One idea that you might be able to latch on to is this: If you know of several other competitors staying at the same hotel, carpooling may be the better option. For bigger events, I certainly don't like to go through the R-street-R tire swap.

Since we're a friendly bunch, look for your pony car driving cousins in FS, ESP & CP do give you more sage advice. See you Friday!
