Who's in for Halloween? (Page 2 of 3)

Just a hopeful bump-- anyone who was able to secure garage interested in splitting it with us?

Just called NHMS re: the Friday test. Phone: (603) 783-4931
Test session would be 9:00am - 5:00pm
Car with one driver $150. Each additional driver $50. Wow. Is that the most expensive test session per team in the nation?
On top of that, $10 gate fee to enter the track on Friday per person, regardless of participation in the test day. WAT?

I've talked to two people on the phone and unless I really do not speak American they have confirmed that on Friday everyone pays the gate fee to enter the track. So first you pay $300 for the whole team to test and then you pay $40 for the whole team to enter the track, making it a grand total of $340.

Obviously I might be wrong with anything.

Actually, it's no worse than NJMP.... That was $300 flat for the day (if pre-registered, $350 day of).  Now if you don't plan to list all 4 drivers, you save $50 per head where you didn't get that option at NJMP.... The $10/person gate fee is annoying, though if we are pulling in on Thursday night, I wonder if they are doing a band or something to see who paid that... In theory, even people NOT running the test day should be subject to the $10 charge, so I wouldn't factor that towards the test day costs.

So i found a few minutes at lunch and called since I was out of the building. I got the same answer, $10/person, no matter what. I asked what changed this year since we've never been charged this in the past, and we always run open testing. The person said she looked at last year's and this is the same cost. I responded that we've never been charged the gate fee since we've already paid up with Lemons, and she had no answer.

I made that point very clear when asking, pointing out that the event we have already paid Lemons for is a friday through sunday event. She still said that there was a gate fee for friday due to the testing day.

Anyone else that wants to call and ask go for it.

We'll be there with the Civic, the Accordion, and the Lexus. Nothing new, sorry. No time, and we're a bit burned out.

Seriously.

This wouldn't be the first time the people answering the phone at NHMS have given wacky answers, I would say don't freak out until it actually happens, and then if it does, bring it up to Jay.  He can either talk to them and get your money back, or say sorry we are all SOL I had to pay at the gate too. 

They are all very nice and friendly at NHMS (except the one tow driver who didn't seem to understand I can't see his hand signals in my rearview mirror when hes pushing my car, he was a dick about it), but oftentimes not well informed.

The remnants of the Spaceballs 280Z will be there, but clothed in a 1991 Mustang shell.

We run the road coarse, using both north and south chicanes, neither of the ovals.
