Possible 240SX National Convention cancellation

[projectRDM]

This year's 240SX National Convention is on the verge of cancellation. Our two days at the Atlanta Motor Speedway require a deposit which is now past due, and at this time we have received very few payments. UNLESS WE GET MORE REGISTRATIONS A.S.A.P., WE WILL HAVE NO VENUE! It is our goal to make this event a great success and want to go forward with it, but we need your support. We assure you that all registrations will be returned should we not reach the deadline, however we hope that does not become neccesary. The deadlines have now been updated, and should we get enough registrations in time to have the convention then registration will be kept open for the rest of you hopeful attendees, but with an increased cost of $10 for General Admission, $20 for Autocross only, and $30 for track participation after May 5th.

c'mon folks we know you want to come lets have something to do here

[projectRDM]

Just a reminder for EVERYONE. Register with the hotel ASAP, they will be cutting off rooms quickly, and they'll begin to fill as soon as it gets closer.

Also, track spots are now beginning to fill, they are FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. I'm not holding a spot for anyone. MAKE SURE to include which group you wish to run in also. Beginner, Intermmediate, or Advanced. This is very important for me to keep tabs on groups. If one fiils, we may have to move people around, but for now let me know your choice.

Shameless bump

Yeah i think extending the deadline will help a bunch. Anyone who missed the first deadline is probably putting off paying until the very last minute. Now with an extended deadline, people should pay.

[projectRDM]

Yes, but waiting it out means no money to reserve the track. We need payments NOW to secure the deposit so we can even have a convention.

[projectRDM]

Credit cards are now being accepted as well. To cover the extra paypal fees, prices are as follows.

Without late fees:
Track+Autocross+Admission $206.28
Track+Admission $175.39
Autocross+Admission $103.30
Admission only $51.80


With late fee, beginning May 5th:
Track+Autocross+Admission $237.18
Track+Admission $206.28
Autocross+Admission $134.20
Admission only $62.10

I am still trying to get all the arrangements squared away. I really want to go but don't want to pay and not be able to get to the ATL (also not get my money back) Once everything is figurered out you will have my money.

That's kind of low blow saying I wouldn't refund your money. If you couldn't make it there's no reason for me to 'steal' your money.

[Ahhsk]

do these guys know about the right hand drive silvia with the CA18 raffle, is that still happening?

Beer
Women

[StanBo]

How are things going? Did you secure everything or is there still some trouble?

Stop it. This is the first I am hearing of this.

[Ahhsk]

Yo Russ, whats the deally on the raffle man? for real!

[Maxtype 240]

People, this opportunity to get on a national raceway with only S13/S14 die-hards is something you must take part of. A place to learn what works/what doesn't, put names to faces, etc.

Seriously, borrow money from family/friends and pay them back in installments. The essence of this convention is to meet each other. you can still enjoy the track or autocross b/c passengers are allowed (correct?).

Without you, we fail.

Now that you've leaked the info, tool. One of the sponsors has mentioned the possibilty of a vehicle, but there will be no definite answer until progress on it is updated. That's all I can say about it, because I'm in the dark too.

The deposit is nearly cleared, but we still need some more payments, after that the money needs to continue to roll in. The cutoff date for the hotel registration is NOT flexible, and I'll have a cutoff for payments posted up soon as well.

[Steeles]

woot guess I need to call about that hotel room huh?

[Baka Sama]

I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to go!! But... the fact is I dont know anyone! I hate going places where I dont know anyone at all. That and the fact that I still drive an eclipse. I would really like to meet someone a few days before the event and hitch a ride down there together for the 3 days. Hell... I'll even chip in for gas!! Common people, help a fellow 240 lover out. I dont weigh much...I dont take up alot of space... I live near atlanta.... and Im good at picking up chicks! :)

[TheSparo]

i too dont know anyone personally on here... is this still going strong?(the attendance issue) i just dont know if my car will be in uptime or downtime... well i will see

[Steeles]

heck yeah its still on! attendence is still lagging but the deposit for the track is down iirc. go to www.240sx.org/atlanta for more details on whats going on with everything.
