I just registered in AS.
So far the competition is a M3, Evo, STi, C4, Porsche 993. Pretty good variety, but only 7 drivers including me. So anyone else going? Aaron |

Anywhere NOT near the event site. I just got the following message from Nancy Downing: "The event Chairman has informed the National Office that hotels in the DC area for Memorial weekend are very hard to find. It is recommended that you make hotel reservations ASAP and that you look in the following areas: Columbia, Jessup and BWI airport in Baltimore. These areas are approximately 25 miles from the event site." |

I'll be there too, #195 CS.
As for where to stay? Memorial Day Weekend? That's a toughie. Knowing the area, I would want to stay somewhere that involves as little time on the Beltway as possible, which would mean staying in one of the areas listed in the note from Nancy Downing (Columbia, BWI-area, in general). Karen |

I booked a Motel 6 2 miles from FedEx field... (Capitol Heights) was like $60/night or so, (not bad for a city) I'm just hoping the area isn't a ghetto. I think it was $66 for Fri & Sat & $50 for Sun (plus tax).
In fact I got a room with 2 beds if someone is willing to split the bill... I booked Fri, Sat, Sun. I figured if I was going to DC I might as well see something too instead of drive back on sunday evening. |

I'll be out of town for the tour, but I will be at the Pro the weekend after. I have a white firebird to try and catch if I can. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Around Fed-Ex is not the best place to stay, trust me I live a couple exit's from there. Like others have said look for hotel's up 95 toward Baltimore. Stay out of Prince George's county if you can. I'm looking forward to moving out of the getto in 2 months. |

New job and lack of vacation preclude a trip to DC this time (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Would have been nice to go home for the weekend...
Maybe next year... Any of you DC tour attendees planning on doing North East Divisionals? If the job goes in the direction I hope it does, I may be able to make Divs... |

I've never been good at seeing sarcasm.

Still in DC..... tired & worn out, but still have a huuuge smile on my face (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
It was great meeting Karen, Pat & Mark, etc. The course was a lot of fun. Even though my car isn't considered competitive, Pat Salerno drove a LT1 Z/28 to a time that was not much slower than the Kozlaks in their Porsche. I learned that there is still more time I can get out of the car. I also learned my 4 yr old Hoosiers are equivalent to the street tires on the STi, which mean my BFG G-Force R1's must be worse than my street tires. My street tires were worse than the STi's... Hopefully I can do more of the National Tour stuff as even though I was schooled by the Kozlaks I had so much fun on the larger course I didn't even care. Hopefully I can work out a deal to co-drive a z/28. I'm not kidding anyone by being in AS, although it was nice to beat someone in a brand new M3 with S04's. He was a really nice guy, so were all the other competitors. Lastly, I learned that I shouldn't go south in 2021, the next secada eventure. I never seen a flying cochroach before......Hopefully I won't see them again either. |
