Three National Meets a year just wasn't enough - Five hours of sleep each night for the past year is too much - Hooking up with NOPI and Stillen just wasn't enough - SO CHECK IT OUT!!!!

Join us as NICOclub presents the first annual NICOfest at GT Live!

NICOFest at GT LIVE

NICOClub.com and GT LIVE have teamed up to bring you the hottest Nissan meet ever!

NICOFest will offer no less than four different participation options including a car show, time attack, rally-cross and drifting, all as part of GT LIVE.

Come cheer on the Unitech 350Zs in Grand Am or the 240s and GT-Rs in the GT Track Attack Championship. A few lucky individuals will also be able to get some hot laps in a real race or time attack car.

At the core of NICOFest will be a welcome tent and Nissan-specific vendor area. And yes, you may participate in more than one activity.

When: October 6-8, 2006Where: Virginia International Raceway, 1245 Pine Tree Road, Alton, VA (434)-822-7700... More info: GT Live Tour InfoTickets: $40 gets you admission for BOTH days of activities. Bring your camera, there's gonna be lots to see!!!

NICOfest Content:

Mingle with fellow Nissan fanatics at NICOfest!All GT LIVE ticket holders are invited into NICOfest automatically. The festival will be inside the GT LIVE venue at VIR as part of the entire GT LIVE weekend. Come by and check out all of the Nissan tuner cars, Nissan parts vendors and Nissan-specific displays.

Nissan Race Cars on Display and on the Track!A number of Nissan race and time attack cars will be on display as part of GT LIVE.

Enter the NICOfest Car Show!Nissan owners can register to participate in the NCCA Car Show. Registration is through NCCA (http://www.nationalcustomcarassociation.com) and participation is $25.

Participate in a Time Attack as part of Tarzan's Lap Battle!Want to get your Nissan on-track for some hot laps? Sign up in the Nissan category of Tarzan's Lap Battle (limited to 60 cars) and battle it out for lap times on the 1.1 mile road course. Information on Tarzan's Lap Battle is here: Tarzan's Lap Battle . Participation is $175.

Hit the Dirt in Rally-X!Ever wonder what it would be like to rally your car? Now you can find out at the NASA-run GT LIVE Rally-X on the VIR rally course. Participation is $25 a day.

Amateur Drifting!As part of the U.S. Drift Shootout we'll be offering complete amateurs as well as more experienced drivers the chance to drift the 1.1-mile VIR Patriot Touge course. Participation will run you $125.

We'll also have a "Drift 101" for the REAL novices that will likely be cheaper....

GT LIVE VIP Pass!NICOfest participants AND fans alike can enhance their festival experience with a GT LIVE VIP Pass. There are no convenient and local places off-track to eat but fortunately, the food at VIR is excellent. The GT LIVE Pass hospitality package is only $65 and entitles you to breakfast, lunch and dinner for both Saturday and Sunday in our exclusive hospitality lounge at the Pagoda in the North Paddock. That's $65 for six catered meals in our exclusive lounge. Do the math and sign up now!

Yes, the show is Fri-Sun. Greg is getting there Thursday night. I personally won't be there till late Friday night, but there will be others that will be there all day on Friday, besides Greg.

I am currently stationed at Ft. Bragg N.C. And the way I drive yes 1-2 hours, considering in a hour I'm already in Durham. I understand your confusion though.

AZHitman - Sweet, where can I find you? At the area around the skidpad? Any specific instructions?

EDIT: Here's a picture of my vert.

it wasnt as big of a turnout as i thought it would be mostly due to the weather but there was a few nice Nissans out there but props to the team who built the (vk) G35 under the tent.I only have one question...How do you get to park over by the nico booth? i noticed the passes hanging on the rear view mirrors but where do you get them cuz i had to park in their mud pit field with my 04 sentra
