What class are you running in? We are in unlimited which is looking like it's going to be quite competitive. Dent Sport and 240sx motoring are both going to be there.

We do get a free go-cart race! 2 years ago we got a free hour just for Nico people. Last year it wasn't the same deal, but we still got go-cart time. I forget how much though. 15 minutes maybe.

No, there is an actual reserved Nico time too for anyone who is there. We all head over there as a group and they don't check passes or anything, we just tell them we are Nico.

They are free, but with NICO we will get a designated time slot where we don't have to wait in line.

No, they changed it this year. I believe this year we will be set up right next to the Patriot course, but I'm not 100% until we actually get there where exactly we'll be. You'll see us though, we'll throw a banner up somewhere.

You need to register for the Fan Festival and put down NICO. http://www.gtlivetour.com/even....html

I just checked, and I'm not sure why, but some reason they don't have NICO listed under the VIR section, even though they have a mugshot of Greg on the page. WTF. Anyway, just called Greg to have him get that straightened out. I'll let you know when that's fixed.

Regardless though, you'll see us when you come in. The registration page is just so they know how many cars we are expecting. I think we're going to be set up near the Patriot Course pits. Just look for a bunch of Nissans, a Nico banner, and a bunch of guys in Nico shirts

Well apparently it has a NiCOFest choice for the GT Live West, so maybe they can't make another selection for the East section?

Anyways, it says we need to book the go kart time. Anybody getting on that or has it already been done?

Yeah, I saw they listed us for SLC but not VIR. This is our 3rd year doing GT Live events, so it's just some type of glitch.

Anyway, kart time should already be set up. Each club is supposed to have their own time and we'll find out the schedule when we get there.

We just got word from the crew at GT Live that we are to just register, and they will have our spot marked for us, so no worries.

Awesome, thanks!

I'll see you guys there!

EDIT: I just registered for the Fan Festival and didn't select a group, but it automatically put me under carolinanissans.com! Will this be a problem...?

He's flying in.

awd.....just buy a ticket to get in the show and you can still park in the pit area next to the Patriot course. You just won't be able to drive into the pits of the full course, which doesn't matter, because we're not set up in there this year. If you have any problems, you can call me on my cell when you get there 404-819-5496.

Werd. Thanks EZ. I will call you when we get there. But last year you could not park in the Patriot course area w/o a pass.

I may have the hook up now. I work for a VW dealer, and VW is a sponsor at VIR. In the process of trying to get some stuff from the Director of Events and Promotions right now.

I was thinking you could park in that area without a pass. If not though, just tell them at the gate you are with Nico and need a pass.
