Do you have to register even if you don't plan on doing any track events?

I'll be dragging my bike on friday night, but i noticed there is no option for bikes on the registration page.

i won't have a car for the weekend so please let me know if i have to do anything else to get my bike on the track for friday night only. thanks dudes.

If the only thing you're doing is the dragstrip, you'll be paying at the track for Friday night test & tune night through the track. I believe it's like $15.

However, you may still want to register with us if you are interested in either a convention t-shirt, raffle tickets, or the luncheon on Sunday.

We are working on adding raffle sponsors to the list. We've only had our sponsorship information available for a couple days now, and already we've got some pretty sweet raffle prizes. But we'll have many more that we'll add as we pick up more sponsors.

Sure! There won't be a designated "swap meet" per se, but you are more than welcome to try to sell or trade parts at the track all weekend!

Just registered so i'm def in...hopefully a large t-shirt will shrink a bit to fit me because my nico shirt is too small to wear...i are sad.

oh torry, sorry to keep bothering you, can you find out what the specs are for teh drag strip as in do i need to be wearing a full suit to drag cause most tracks require a suit to drag your bike.

This is the email I got back from them:

M2000 helmet, leather coat or long sleeves, gloves, ankle high boots etc. If bike is quiker than 639 in eight then full leathers, NHRA license etc.

[DrifterXRPS13]

Sweet! thanks man!

And to everybody else, hurry up and register, it's gonna be a great time!

[yotik]

yep im registered-no brainer...

[Chris28]

Hmmm. I may have to try hard to make this one. its 21 hours away. One stretch of road is 900+ miles and goes through like 4 states. I think I will try to have the 240 hatch ready to go out there and then I can track it lightly while hanging out and drive back.

I'll also see if the company I work for wants to be a sponsor.

If I end up going we can caravan out, It's going to be one heck of a road trip!

[AZhitman]

Give us a hand getting the word out, guys!

Also, someone mentioned a swap meet - If there's enough interest, we'll set up a special area, someplace on Vendor Row, JUST for swap meet stuff!

[yotik]

id be interested in wheels, suspension and rare parts, and ive told folks here in omaha about. im excited

[BORNGEARHEAD]

First off, thanks for all the hard work getting this ready. Greatly appreciated.

I have a couple questions. There is a group of us who are planning on camping at the motorplex and I was told that camping is free as long as we are registered, which we are. I know some of the guys are bringing tents but how do I go about getting a site with electricity for my camper? Also, I'm assuming the facilities/showers are going to be open and available to us, correct? Do you know if anyone else is planning on staying at the track/camping, besides the Wisconsin crew?

[EZcheese15]

I don't know of anyone else planning to camp. As far as the camping amenities, I'll email the track and see what will be available.

Jim has electricity hook-ups. Just let us know what you need. I think there is a charge but it's no where near the cost of the hotel. The bathrooms have showers in them. Very nice facility.

[BORNGEARHEAD]

Thank you.

I want to make sure that I am able to get a site with electricity if there is a limited number of those sites available. I'm not sure if I need to get hold of "Jim"(lol) to make a reservation for the site or if there is a number I can call.

[EZcheese15]

Jim is the General Manager for Mid-America Motorplex. You can contact him directly if you'd like regarding the camping arrangements, or we can ask him. Either way, it's up to you. His number is 402-306-5015. Email is [email protected]

[gomer23]

Damn I hadn't been on NICO in so long didn't even know this was going on in my own backyard haha.

If anyone needs any help finding hotels or anything let me know.

Guess this means I'll have to get my car ready for that weekend.

We have group rates for hotels already set up. The information is here: http://www.nissanconvention.com/hotel.html

[gomer23]

Oh very nice, thats only a few minutes from my house as well haha.

Maybe I could get a dinner set up or something one night. I have a friend whose family owns a pizza place here and they have a HUGE party room so space wouldn't be a problem.

[droptopsf98]

i've posted on 240sxforums.com already, but I'm local and hoping to have my swap running by then. Cutting it close! Maybe I'll tow my car to the hotel, and see how many volunteers I can get to help a newb :P

That would be awesome!!!!!

Any chance you could give us a hand getting the word out locally? It'll be great having a local contact person - MUCH appreciated!!!

[AZhitman]

ALSO, we have an UPDATE!!!!

I just got off the phone with an old friend - David Muramoto will be in attendance!!!



David is the Acting Editor of Nissan Sport Magazine and columnist for SportsCar Magazine.

He will be conducting the Driver Meeting, and will be instructing during the road course portion of the track event. David will also be available for ride-alongs.

Videos of David - On-track action!

He'll just be coming off a SCCA Double National the week prior in the Project T2 350Z, so he should be in top form - If you've never seen this man drive, it's a treat!!!

Spread the word!

[PEZi]

david is a great guy... cool to hang out with at meets! he'll be a great addition to the convention (and hell maybe i can convince him to drag my a** there instead of flying lol)

[Coupeguy23]

[tigersharkdude]

[AZhitman]

Bump for the weekend!

We're just a couple weeks away, guys. We STILL need help getting the word out locally, so those of you who live in the area, PLEASE contact me or Becky ([email protected]) with any input as far as contacting the locals!
