:-( Well I'm not going to make the driving school on the 24th. I can't get off of work because I'm leving for a vacation to Canada the following week for nothing but Trees, Beer, and Fish!

You can view the entry list of cars below. Its a reel good mix of American/European/Japanese cars. If your just into auto shows these cars may not be particularly shiney but some are decked out with mods none-the-less.

Entry List You'll need to register to see the list, It don't cost anything.

Edit: This shows the resluts from the last event, you can get an idea of what type of cars will show and you don't need to register to view.

Heads up for this Sunday. If your going please message, or AIM (it's in my profile) me if you want to ride together. The event will probably last until at least 5pm. Vistors can enter and exit at will after paying the 5$ at the gate. This is a different kind of mod crowd, less looks, more performance. The pit area is open to spectators, take as many pictures as you want. The track is off limits at all times unless otherwise stated (duh!). However, you only need to keep a reasonable distance to the track while spectating.

The only food I know of close by for lunch is a gas stations near by and I've been told there is an infield restaurant. I suggest bringing a chair, some water, snacks, and sun block if you plan on watching all day.

Here's a blurb from the www.NER.org website

All of our event sites open at approximately 7am. It is a good idea to try to arrive
as early as possible so that you can prep your car, register, have the car inspected
through the tech line, and walk the course. Plan on spending the entire day with us.
You will be at the site from about 7am 'til 5pm. Pack a cooler with food and drink
for the day. We don't allow any drugs or alcohol at the sites. Since you will be out
in the sun (or rain), bring clothing that suits the weather.

Registration is open from 7:30am to 8:45am. Tech inspection is open from 7:15am
to 9:00am. These times are firm, NO Exceptions. Course is usallly open for walking
at 8:00am Mandatory Driver's meeting at 9:30am
Novice Course walkthrough at 9:45am First car off at 10:00am

There is no late registration or late tech so please don't ask.
To sum it up. If your spectating the first car sets off at 10am. If your participating get there by 8am.

Weather.com Loudon, NH for Sunday. Looks like a lot of sun and light jacket weather.

EDIT: Oh if your not following or riding with me

1122 Route 106 North
Loudon, NH

You'll see a crap load cars & trailers in a parking lot

Edit x2: I am planning on getting there at 7:30am So i'm leaving the house at 5:45am to give me time to get some breakfast at McDonalds!!!!

AutoCross @ Devens this Sunday. That in Ayer, MA. AthensBlue thats like 30 minutes away from you I think.

It's a bigger, longer & FASTER track. And more cars (from what I hear)..

Again get there by 10 if you want to see the first car off. Earlier if you want to **** people up or look at the cars.

This is some pictures I took last year at this place before I had the G. It was the last event and unofficial (as far as point went) and still about 100 cars showed up. I've been told that there are about 150 people that race at this place.

Three Z's and 1 G showed last year when I went to watch. I herd the G guy sold his car but I expect the Zs to show up again.

FYI: This even is free to watch (at least it was last year).

So who's coming?

Edit: (Attachment) 'X' Marks the spot, i.e. the airport in the upper left of the picture.

If anyone is coming I'll give better directions. The last few turns can be a little misleading.

Gavin, when you get back from Canada and plan your next one, let me know. I don't want to track my car, but I'd like to spectate and take some photos. I need to see what this is like before I decide if I want to actually participate.

I would like to let everyone know that BMW SCCA Boston Chapter is having another driving school on July 6th. You can check it out on the website in the first post same price.

I went last time (the 24th of may), and I will be there this time too. (This time with better brakes and maybe I can find some smaller OEM wheels that fit my 06 coupe)

It was a blast. This time I am going to use my rear view camera and mount it on my front plate and record the entire track. I'll post it when I get a chance.
