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!

Well, it does look like CP beat the slowest FS car.


Mark needs to change his car color on the registrations to "cone blood"

Hey at least you didn't fly a $159 kite into an electric line..... I kinda wish I was present for that, but I'll still give the pilot a hard time next time I see him.

Mark--

You need to get some sort of data logger so you can record the runs. Happy to take a look at them for you and see what's going on (only because I generally can't when we are running). I don't think your mention of another school is a bad idea, however I think you know what you have to do...executing is the issue. Maybe you need someone to bap you upside the head at the time, but having instructed you before I think you know when it's coming and don't need me to do it.

It's mental at this point my friend. And not likely helped by worrying about Mustangs, but Mustangs don't cause you to hit cones. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Not meant to be harsh. I consider you a friend, as well as a customer and a student. I'm only trying to help you and if it takes a little bluntness... so be it, because I don't like to see folks struggling so much and it's clear it bothers you. It should, because if it didn't what's the point?
