Ok guys, here's what's going on with the show!
As some of you who are already registered know, there will be a load in time on Friday afternoon, as well as Saturday and Sunday mornings to get parked inside. Let me just answer a few questions for you guys because I know there has been a lot of confusion.
ALL Nissans will be allowed to park inside. We will have a couple people manning the entrance to direct you, but if you are in a Nissan OR a NICO member, you can park inside. NICO has a reserved section for Nissans inside. Regardless of what emails you get from Motorsports Nationals, you will be able to park inside as a NICO member. The emails you are getting are a mass email that are sent out to all registrants. The NICO parking is an exception to this mass email.
You may come in between 2 and 5pm on Friday to set up, or 6 and 10am on Saturday to set up. You will not be able to leave Saturday until the show is over, but you probably won't want to anyway. The NICO section will be located right next to the vendor area. We will have tables and chairs for you to rest your feet. We'll have 4 beautiful girls modeling for us (2 of which actually work at a Nissan dealer, so they know their stuff)!
In addition to this, we will be giving away free NICO posters, and selling 2008 calendars, as well as debuting our 2009 calendars. In fact, I'm saying it now, that if you buy a 2009 calendar, we'll give you a 2008 calendar for free! We'll also have T-shirts, windshield banners, and possibly a few other goodies for sale. Plus, don't forget, you get to hang out with 4 hot models all day if you register with us!
Earlier this week, Motorsports Nationals sent out an email going over the guidelines to park inside. Some people were detoured because of what appears to be strict rules. These rules are not near as strict as people are reading into them. The 2 biggest things are that you must have less than 1/4 tank of gas and your battery must be disconnected. That's not that big of deal for the opportunity to park inside, in the A/C, right next to vendor row, and be in the NICO section. Just make sure that if you have to fill up between now and the weekend, only put a few bucks worth of gas in your car. I'm sure most of you can handle that. Cars will be searched coming in, so don't bring anything you know you shouldn't. You know, like knives, guns, drugs, etc. Just don't be a retard and everything should go smooth.
We need more people to register though. As Greg mentioned in the above post, if we don't have more people registering soon, we'll be forced to combine our reserved area with the Honda crowd. None of us want that!
For those of you who can make it, definitely try to make it to out dinner on Friday night at the Roadhouse Grill. This is an absolute blast, as I'm sure those of you who have been before can attest to. You get to meet everybody, talk cars, eat good steak, and do what we all do best...drink beer (from a mason jar)!!
This may be an all new venue for this show, but be assured that it'll be just as good as previous shows and then some. You guys will be disappointed if you miss out!!
On another topic, if anyone plans on being in town Thursday night, we are planning on getting together and grabbing a bite to eat somewhere, hanging out, etc. Greg and I will be headed to the convention center early Friday morning to set up our booth, so he's coming in Thursday afternoon. We don't have any plans Thursday night other than to hang out, so if anyone wants to join us, let us know!! Also, if you aren't doing anything Friday morning and want to help us set up, let us know and we'll get you in Friday morning for setup.
If anyone has any questions regarding the schedule, or where we are, or getting in, or anything else, feel free to call me. I'll have my cell on my all weekend. My number is 404-819-5496. See you guys there!!
