I'll be driving my s14.5, my wife her p11 and I'll get a friend to drive the s12. I'm near Boston, so it's a pretty good roadtrip

Aha. I thought 3 cars, 2 drivers meant a tow vehicle with a long trailer. Can I please get your friend's name (and your wife's name while you're at it), so I can get them added to the list? we want top make sure they on the track free too.

Thanks.

Full names, or just first (it IS the internet, you know!)? I don't exactly know which friend won't have a vehicle at that time, depends how quickly I can crank out mods and swaps on their cars. They'll register themselves on this thread. I'll keep it monitored.

And as far as staffing, I'd prefer tech inspections if possible. Just let me know

Oh, yea. one more question. Do classes matter for autox?

If she shares your last name, I only need her first. But if you want to keep her name off line that's fine. I can easily send you a private email and just reply back with it. The list will never be made public. just let me know.

There will no be no separate classes for autox. There are no restrictions on mods, and you should find the tech requirements pretty easy. The requirements are on the first page of this thread.

Please send e-mail, thank you.

I was just curious how you were organizing. Last time I went autox-ing, they didn't know how to categorize me either, so they stuffed me in xp! I'm just going to show up this year with my numbers and the windows logo!

you've got mail..

As far as categorizing, we made it very simple: none. Our emphasis is on fun. The competition and rivalries are strictly friendly. Anything goes as long as it passes tech, and tech is pretty easy.

A few other tidbits.

Anyone that brings a car without numbers will be issued one. IF your car already has a number, please give me the number now, so we don't assign that same number to another car. We know many cars get shared, so if you're not the primary driver of the car, you simply let the starter know your first name or a nickname each time before you launch, so we can track your times separately.

Unless you advise otherwise, we will publish best time by car number on NICO after the event.

Im in....again. Matt, 01 integra type-r, autox

btw has anyone talked to the grounds manager about us entering the grounds to track our cars. Last 2 years ive had HORRIBLE trouble trying to get my car into the grounds to the track without paying for car admissions for the show. I explained to them (grounds office) that i wasnt showing my car i was just autoxg it not showing it and no1 had a clue about the track or nicofest. I can see paying for general admissions but not for car admissions when really we are just tracking the cars not showing them. The stunt bikes (star boyz or watev) dont pay i dont see why we should either. Has anyone else had a problem getting in, also?

You still have to pay to get into the fairgrounds. There is a show-pass and non-show pass. The non-show pass is $40.

AutoXing is free assuming you already paid to get in the fairgrounds, but you still have to pay for a car-pass into the fairgrounds.

o see i never knew that, they always wanted me to pay reg admission which was $60+ or whatever it is. I tried explaining to them that i was there for the nicofest autox but no1 had any idea what i was talking about. Lucky both years i just BS'ed my way in at the gate for free hehe. Is that $40 for 1 day or both?

Hi Matt. Welcome back. You're on the list. From Carlisle's perspective, we are all parking our cars on their grounds, as the track and paddock are part of their grounds (which makes our choice of admission either judged or non-judged). Can't get around that. But it's still a huge bargain when you consider how much track time we get over two days for that price. Unfortunately, the Carlisle gate folks at the main gates might not know of the autocrossing specifically, as only the drifting sessions are being promoted on their program. That might be part of the confusion. Hopefully you won't encounter the same trouble this year. Thanks.

I believe the $40 covers both days.

To get in the fairgrounds, you have to have registered through the Cars at Carlisle website. It's $25 for a walk-in pass, $40 to drive in, or $50 to enter the show as a show-contestant.

Once you are in the fairgrounds, it will be free to enter the pit area if you are registered in this thread. Just tell us your name and sign a waiver, and as long as you're on our list, you'll get a wristband and be good to go.

Nope. not necessary. If you don't want your car "judged", you go for the non-judged admission and drive down to the NICOfest tent (at the paddock entrance) once you get inside the main gates to check in/get teched with us.

Almost the same. You'll all be signing the same waivers, but this year, we just need your guests' first/last names upfront to get them in free with you.

anyway we can move the finish line so we don't drive off that cliff? maybe making you go around the cornor and then a finish. Then make them come down the short cut in the middle then out. that finish line is haggard
