Okay, I know, sorry to tease! But we're working on announcing a bunch of details for next year's event soon, and I'm sure you're all going to love it!

Next year is definitely the 20th?  My son wanted to go for a 15 year reunion (been thinking about it since $2004) but the third week in October is the NYC Wine Experience, like April 16th for CPAs; it's a marathon for him.  Four nights of $1000 a plate dinners?  Suck it up kid!

We've got 11 months to sort it out, but can I ask a budget question or is there another thread already?

Looking forward to it. 

Any guess how long it will be before we can see the rules again?  Trying to sort out a few things...

Not mentioned in the rules is to win the event you need a time machine.

Not sure how it would work out but I believe 13 was registered this year by Gabe. He wasn't able to get his truck ready in time so I believe he rolled the registration over.  If in fact that gives him "dibs" maybe you can "buy" the number from him as pro players sometimes do when they want a certain number.

Wait-you can roll a registration over to the next year? If so I'm going to go ahead and sign up and use it when I get around to finishing a car.

I think it's meant for an oh E36 M3 my car can't make it or in the case of this year I believe it was offered to those who withdrew after the drags were cancelled. I don't think they want it used as a procrastinating tool.devil

Not letting me roll over hasn't seemed to help. Letting me would probably be even worse.

Pretty major changes in the rule language. It would behoove everybody to read the entire document carefully.

Also it looks like a mistake: In the Q&A, has the cutoff for drag race time in a few of the answers at 13.49 seconds. Roll bars, seat braces, hand clutch for motorcycle engine powered hoopties. Probably should get clarification from the HMFIC...

Looks to me like you can roll over ONCE if you establish in writing your excuse for berkeleying up and not getting your car done a week before the event starts.

I still have visions of Nopi Nationals-esque models for my car at the GRM judging

I will miss the $1 increase yearly, because i believe i was at $2015.xx in 2016.  In the end it’s almost $30 with recoup
