NOLA 2018 (Page 1 of 2)

Bob already commented on your FB post, but we're in. Not for golf, but definitely for a couple days of NOLA after the race.

Swamp tours?!

YES.

It'd be up to work whether I can swing the extra time, but swamp tours?!?!!! YES.

Any official details from HQ about this race? The event page is all TBAs, and the track didn't answer the phone this afternoon. I'm curious about schedule, full or reduced course, test session, covered paddocks, etc.

I count 50 cars currently registered, FYI.

You tried getting business information from a place in New Orleans during the last week leading into Mardi Gras?

Good one, Frank.

From the Lemons event page:

"Track Configuration: 2.75 Mile 16 turn full track."

Who else is coming to this race? I now count 54 car numbers taken from the list.

In the latest in a series of increasingly poor decisions, a coalition/confederation/conspiracy of "powerhouse" (read: terrible) teams from Texas have decided to join together and host a no-shit, fancy-dress cocktail party in the paddock on Saturday night. Partly because we want to impress the track so they'll invite us back again, but mostly because we think it'll be funny. And also because Pat Mulry lost a bet or something.

So anyway, remember to pack your tuxedos and/or cocktail dresses, and dust off those earrings/cufflinks/martini shakers. This is not a joke. Well it is a joke, but it's happening anyway.

Email them from their web site. That is how I reserved my spot.

I've still got a spots open on the greatest parsh of all time if anyone is looking for a drive: https://forums.24hoursoflemons.com/view … 57#p318957

Let me know!

Updated my last post. After much consideration, arguing, and wailing about, we've decided to move the cocktail party to Saturday night. Our apologies if this makes it more difficult to get your hurr did.

NOLA Practice:

Attached is a link to the Test & Tune NOLA will be running on Friday April 6th. This format should work for you and the other teams competing in the Lemons event that weekend.

msreg.com/nolatntapril2018

In a nutshell, the track will be hot from 9am-12pm and again from 1pm-4pm. Each will be an open session (no run groups) which will allow your drivers to come on and off the track as often as necessary during those times.

Entry will be $250.00 per CAR, thus allowing as many drivers assigned to the car to get the practice they need. Each driver MUST check in at registration to sign our waiver to receive the wristband we will use that day to get on track - NO car will be allowed on track if the driver is not wearing the correct wristband. This wristband will be different than the one used if they enter the park prior to coming to T&T registration.

Check-in/registration will open Thursday April 5th at 3pm-6pm and again at 7am-1pm on Friday April 6th.

Once the team turns in the tech sheet (found on the registration page but attached here as well), they will receive a sticker to place on the car in an obvious spot so the grid marshall can easily see it.

The other pertinent rules are attached as a PDF here and are on the registration webpage.

Please feel free to share the link with anyone else you know will be attending.

Folks,

Just got off the phone with Scott at NOLA

Here’s the poop:

Garages:

He has some garages available form single stall to double and even a quad stall.  The garages are in the area by the skid pad.  You’ll need to park your rig down in the Paddock as the skid pad has an activity Saturday.

A single stall is 20’ x 25’. Price is $100 night.  Larger stall are just multiple price of a single.  If you want to go for the quad stall the owner will be more than happy to push his Ferrari out of the way…

Paddock:

Paddock does have RV hookups on track side (NW) and field side(SE) fence lines.  Field side has 50 amp and water.  Track side has 50 amp, water, and 110v outlets.  Price for those is $40 night

Poo:

There is a dump station on the facility that can be utilized.

Friday:
There will be an open track day to check out your heap.  NOLA will be managing that day’s activity.

Early arrivers and late departers:
If you want to leave your rig trackside NOLA has secured parking that will be available before and after the race in case you want to spend a bit of time across the river.  I don’t have a cost per night on that though.

We did an RV spot on track, then rented an RV from RV share. Ours it totally full, but it was really inexpensive.
