Just wanted to let everyone know as soon as possible:

The Finger Lakes Region will by hosting the NEDiv divisional championship at Seneca Army Depot July 21-23.

This is a super long asphault runway with a concrete portion as well. The transitions make the site very interesting (as does its size).

There are a bunch of events there prior if anyone feels like checking it out.

Frinday the 21st will be a warmup event.

[35th_Anniversary...]

I'll be in Denver for the Pro Solo. Otherwise we could have had a BBQ or something at my apt seeing as how it's like 45 minutes from my apt.

This has been confirmed, I don't know why it isn't listed on NEDIV's website yet. There will be a Friday practice course as well. Equipment will be allowed overnight on site, however there is no onsite camping. If you have a camper, or are going to rough it tent style, Sampson State Park is directly accross the street. I highly recommend reserving a spot now, as it fills up fast without any local events. Loop 6 seems to be the poplular sport among us 'locals'.

There is an inn in Ovid ny that is about 10 minutes away, and several hotels just off the NYS thruway, those are 25-30 minutes out though, so camping looks to be the easiest option.

Again, the surface is grippy asphault with a section of old worn in concrete. There is also a small section of sealed, very slippery asphault that has been used once or twice for a 'pin turn', but I'm hoping the course designers are smart enough to stay away from that.

This site is HUGE (but not wide). We had an event last year where it was pouring at one end of the course, and completely dry at the other :-) . We had to use the workers to radio in conditions, like we were at lemans or something.

Here is a video of a course on that site, excuse the crappy driving:

This sounds like a cool event, and the location is interesting too. Right between those two big lakes I bet it's nice. Unfortunately with the gas prices going the way they are, I'm probably not going to make it. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Its got a very nice view, however the surrouding area is a little 'farmish'

Event info and registration(soon):

If you are considering going, I highly recommend you book a hotel room right now, and cancel if you don't go, rooms generally are hard to find in this area as there are lots of add events around there.

Registration is now open.

So is anyone considering going? I'd like to see a good size esp class, and an FS class period. The central/western ny regions have very small esp/fs classes.
