I wondered if you would beat me to the punch on this. I saw Phil posted in on facebook. Oh well, I guess I beat you to it this year.

When is the absolute deadline? Because I'll be heading down to Daytona for the 50th anniversary of the 24hrs of Daytona.
I'm hoping I'll have enough money set aside to attend DGRR.

We'll see how the bank treats me this year...If you haven't gone before, definitely worth going. It feels like the last one just finished. I gotta get my car working properly too before I head down, can't wait to get back in it.

Ballpark say around $800. It can be done cheaper, but depending on what happens it can cost more too. Last year we had a bunch of no shows last minute for the cabin and it ended up costing us a boat load of cash. This year if I book a cabin things will be done a bit differently.

I never really keep track. Its something I want to do so I go and do it. Its nothing extreme. The most expensive part is the gas. Factor in $200 for hotel on the way there an back split amongst friends and the cabin is about $150 or less each for 3 days. Again depending on which cabin and how many people go in. Its under $1000 easy if your driving just by yourself. I think it was like $600 for gas as you do alot of driving. Again it depends how hard you are on the throttle, how much your gonna eat out (I bring a cooler for water and snacks rather then buy at the gas station) and if your splitting rides or not. I recommend bringing your own ride as this is one beautiful drive!

I think registration is already open too for people who have attended the event for more than 3 years. They are trying this out I guess. Ian you should get registered!

Did they roll back the website? Cause all I see now is 2011 stuff.
But I thought for sure I saw dates and registration for 2012.

I have no idea if I'll even be able to think about going this year. Luckily I only have a few smaller jobs for the car, new rad, new wheels, brakes, etc. However I'm planning to go to school this year and it's a pretty busy course. But if I don't get the loan then I guess DGRR will be easy. You'll know when I know.

Is there some benefit to registering sooner that I don't get? Special status for a lower number or something? Honestly curious because it will probably be a late decision if we go down again this year or not.

Have our tickets/flights/hotels for the Daytona 24hr bought, so need to see how the budget is holding up come April for the DGRR.
