UPDATE on National Convention *please read*

[projectRDM]

Planning of the Convention is still going well, however we have yet to see anywhere near the proposed numbers for attendance. Numerous people have responded with stories about waiting for parts, needing to pay for other car-associated things, etc., and while I understand the desire to have your car 'ready' for this event, the readiness will be wasted if there is no event. I continue to urge everyone to realize we're closing in on just one month left, and it will go by in a blink. If you haven't registered yet, or are holding out for some reason, now is the time to do so. I'm not willing to cancel it this close to the date, nor am I willing to lose the money that I've invested thus far. Remember, this event is for YOU, the enthusiast. Making excuses at this late in the game is not a viable option anymore.
Due to the slow response, I have been forced to make a decision that I was not prepared to do. Ideally, I could just cancel the Sunday autocross and save money, however that would cheat those who have already paid and end the weekend early, which would be unfair to everyone involved, so I've decided to extend the invitation to the GA Z Club to participate as well. This seems to be the only way to increase revenue at this point, as I've done events with Z guys in the past and know that are more willing to pay for track and autocross time, and will be more forthcoming with both money and the interest to attend. I'm going to allot 15 spots to them for track usage at first, and if the demand increases they will be allowed more. In doing this, the available track spots will be filled faster, so if you're still interested in running your own car you need to prepare to make a payment soon. I'll be introducing the idea to the Z Club at their monthly meeting this Tuesday, July 1.
I'd also like to point out that the cutoff date for the hotel is July 19, and while I'd like to think they'd give us some leeway here, they had put two other parties on hold to accomodate our group, so once the deadline passes the remaining rooms will fill up quickly.

For those who have paid I continue to say thanks, and look forward to seeing you all in August. Again, any questions/concerns/comments can be sent to me directly at [email protected].
