Ok, we really gotta get off our asses and represent the south!!!!:) Pasted from DGTrials forum:
-------

Don't say we didn't warn you.

Don't say we didn't talk about it.

October 17th, Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen, MD, DGTrials is going to war. It's North Vs. South time, so get your blue and grey coats, your confederate and colonial flags. Get your slaves and interchangeable parts ready, because it's WAR.

The rough details are being hatched out, but here goes:

Due to recent increases in insurance premiums, this event has the following costs:
$100 Preregistration for drivers
$125 Gate registration for drivers
$5 for spectators

If we get more than 40 drivers preregistered, we WILL offer some kind of rebate -- probably $10. We are expecting people to get around 14 runs or more (similar to DDay2). You normally pay $40 for 4 runs at autocross. $90 for 14 is a good bargain.

PREREGISTRATION CLOSES OCTOBER 1st
No exceptions. If you don't make prereg by the 1st, you pay $125. No rebate. We want to make sure we can plan this event out really well, and that requires timelyness on your parts.

HOTEL INFORMATION
Holiday Inn Aberdeen: 410-272-8100
in order to get group rates we need a guarenteed 10 rooms... at the holiday inn. Thier regular rate is $114 per night! however if we get 10 rooms they can offer a group rate @ $84.00 per room. We need to let them know ASAP so that we can reserve those rooms.

Please let the Holiday Inn know you are staying for the DGTrials/ MA-Motorsports event @ Ripken Stadiumand you want in on the group rate.

Red Roof Inn Aberdeen: 410-273-7800 alternative

Directions, and other fine print details are being worked out. This event should be a lot of fun. We're considering making it an SSS round just for giggles, so that should be fun, too.

Where are my bullets?

It's going to be a course set up in a huge lot. SCCA normally does auto-x in this lot. From what I hear it's nice. Someone is supposed to go take photos this weekend. It's hard to find an actual road course that will let drifters on it;)

You should still come regardless!
