A fellow Altima Coupe member registered for Carlisle and can no longer attend. I have yet to officially register, so I figured I would try to buy his off of him so he doesn't end up out the cost of registration. Is this possible? Or his money gone and I still need to register?

We also doing early bird registration/tech there on Friday afternoon. There might be some folks willing to take on roomates. There are also several places to stay closer to the Fairgrounds, all different price ranges.. Most of them are on Carlisle Pike.

Do you know if there is a discounted rate for us at the gate since it's to late to get tickets on the Carlisle website.

Also if anyone has space in their room let me know, I'd like to actually stay this year since I wasn't able to the first year b/c I FUBAR'd my car.

You're already on our list for the paddock/track but I'm not aware of any discounted rates for getting into the Fairgrounds.

You're more than welcome to join us at Tony Lukes, Greg and Becky don't land until 1630 hrs. and by the time they get off the plane, get their luggage and get into their rental car, I'm figuring we'll be at Tony Lukes roughly around 1/4 after 5 - 1730hrs. so if you make it an early day at work you should be able to get down to meet up with us before everyone gotten through the line, unless you were planning on being in Carlisle @ that time.

As far as admission Carlisle's website has it for I think $50 for a 2 day pass for 2 people, It's just going to be me, myself, and I going to this thing unless someone want to split the cost at the gate?

I also will be needing a piece of somebody's floor to sleep on if anyone has the space or at the very least the use of their bathroom as I have no problem racking out in the car.

We'd love for you to use that S2000 too, but the answer is no. Factory hoops are not permitted. The event rule for convertibles specifically require aftermarket rollbars/cages (that pass the broomstick rule),plus minimum 4 pt. harnesses.
I'm sorry.

BUT its your event and I wish you luck with it. I was just looking forward to whopping up on some 240's

Whats admission into the fair grounds if you dont have a car or arent showing anything? The event site isn't clear to me, and I'm not sure if our reg. here transfers or....?

It actually makes perfect sense. While there are some track organizations that might permit convertibles with factory hoops, most of them do not. While the elevation changes on this circuit are not big, it does contain some significant off-camber turns. It's not a traditional flat parking lot course.

You are absolutely welcome to come run with us in a different car to back up your claim against the 240sx's. As info, we have had folks run in airport rental cars that have posted some very competitive times.

Registering here gets you free access to the track/paddock. Both of you are nowset up for that. The remaining two pieces are 1. getting into the fairgrounds, and 2. overnight accomodations if you're planning to stay over.

Their admission price depends. To clarify: The $50 fee is per car (one person plus a guest). So if you and Tiger SE-R are arriving together in one car, it's $50 total for the weekend. But, if you each bring your own car, then you each pay $50. If you do not want your car "judged", go for the non-judged admission.

Overnight accomodations are entirely up to you. There is no camping for this event at the Fairgrounds. Many Nico folks are staying at the Holiday Inn Mechanicsburg, which is about 20 minutes from the fairgrounds. Staying there is not required.
I hope that helps.
