By the way guys, our group currently has the third most entries of any group at the show.

We'll have two 6 foot tables for food/drink and promotionals, a 20'x20' tent and 14 chairs for people to use for shade/etc. But if you have your own chair you can bring that would be nice so that everyone has a chair to rest in!

Okay, If you don't mind. I have a 50 amp charger I use to power the car during shows for jams/movies and to show off some lighting effects inside the car. I've done this on 3 shows this year and have faired very well. 1 Hot Import Nights 1st place, 1 SE Nopi/Mini Truckin' Nationals 1st place, and a Best of Show and 1st place class. If its going to be a hassle, I won't bother; but I would like to if possible. Just let me know. Thanks.

Is that tent going to be enough? I have a 10x13, or something close to that, that I had already planned on bringing. If it too much, I'll leave it at home, but we do have chairs.

Also, I assume you are cooking hamburgers or hot dogs. Do you need everyone to pitch in on groceries?

Yea that should be fine, it's always nice to have some entertainment of some sort going on. We will have a small portable cd player there for music throughout the day as well.

Jeremy,

I just registered my car under your group. I do need a favor from you though. 20B 3rd Gen will be come with me but he need a ride into the facility. My passenger seat doesn't move far enough for him to sit in my car. Is there a way he could get a ride in? He's going to be using my 2nd set of tickets.

Oh, also can I bring an easy up?

I'm not sure what you mean by "a ride in"...do you mean from the hotel or the parking lot? If it's from the hotel, I'm sure one of our guys will have room for him to ride to the show (will have David's and my wife's SUVs.)

Also, what's an "easy up"? Do you mean a pop up canopy? If so, how big?

My FD won't make it. It got hit last Sat (while sitting in the driveway), so I will bring another car.

Phil, are you staying in our hotel? If so, im sure I will run into your Friday night and if not I have your cell phone number so I can give you a shout. If he doesnt mind getting to the show really early he can ride with me in the Tahoe. At this point that is what I think I will be driving. If I bring the m3 I should still have room though. Just give me a call if you have any questions.

Just out of curiousity, are any of the members going looking for any FD parts?? Please pm me so to keep this thread on track. I just figured if we are all going to be in the same place it would be convenient.

URGENT UPDATES:

For our group at the show: The last day for Online Show Registration at www.NOPInationals.com is 9/12/2006...The last day for Credentials/tickets to be mailed out is 9/06/2006. So, tickets/registrations made after 9/06/2006 must be picked up at "Will Call" at Gate 12 since they will not have time to be mailed. If you do not make reservations before 9/12/06, you will have to tell the person you buy the ticket from at the gate that you are with our 'SpeedForSale.com Group' in the FEATURED SECTION to park with us!

For our hotel group: We only have SEVEN rooms left, and we will loose them on SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 10 if they are not taken!!

Im not sure where I'll be staying in ATL. But I'll find a place.

So, what time would you be leaving the hotel? Me, John, and Garfinkle might just come to your hotel in the morning and roll with you guys.

That would be perfect if yall came over and just rolled in with us. I would like to get going probably a little before 8 to try to avoid some of the traffic that accumalates outside the show. Ill talk to Jeremy about when we plan to leave that morning and let you know.

I just got word from NOPI that NOPI TunerVision (on SPEED channel) will be doing an interview with me about our group. I'll do my best to have the entire group shown!
I'll also have 'community cleaning supplies' at the show if any of you need to touch up the shine on your car.

TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY FOR ONLINE REGISTRATION!
