Yes. That information will be added on the website IF it's confirmed.

And we will also have plenty of information at the hotel on Friday and at the track on Sat.

Thanks. That's a good thing for people to know. What about the state of Maryland?

I know Virginia doesn't allow radar detectors. But not sure about cell phones.

 

Hmm, didn't know about the cell phone law.

Maryland has no restrictions.

Gentlemen, The hotel block is booked and past the deadline. I will not be able to get any
extra rooms released for the discounted rate. This is per the Hotel

 

I think it's a great idea. All the members with LED tail lights, retrofitted headlights, and all that jazz will be able to show their stuff too.

I am a little confused with some of the wording on the website, especially the prices. What exactly is "pit access"? If I'm just entering the car show, do I need it? And, if I'm paying an entrance fee for my car, do I need to pay a spectator fee too?
I just want to watch the races and enter "lightly modded" in the car show.

 

If you want to participate in the Car Show, then you will need to be able to enter the gates of MIR (aka "pit access"). We highly recommend for anybody driving a Maxima to spend $20 for pit access so we will have all the Maximas within the gates showing them off even if you aren't in the Car Show.

Also, paying $20 for pit access IS a spectator fee. There are two options for all spectators that aren't racing their car on the drag strip. That is, the $15 spectator MIR charge, which you have to park outside the gates and walk into MIR. Or, the $20 pit access spectator charge, which you will need in order to enter the Car Show or Dyno Shootout.

I can see how the wording on the website can be a little confusing to someone who isn't familiar with drag strips. I will edit it to be a bit clearer. Thanks. Let me know if you have any more questions.

 

Ok, so $20 gets me and my Maxima in, as long as I'm not racing or dynoing?

I was worried that it would be $15 to see the races, plus $15 to see the dyno, plus $20 to see the car show, and so on...

 

You got it. It's $20 to get you and your Maxima into MIR. But you will need to pay $15 in advance and register for the Car Show if you want to participate.

For the Dyno Shootout, you will also need to register in advance and pay $40 for 3 pulls. And since it will be a mobile chassis dyno located in the pits of MIR, you will need to get your Maxima into MIR to participate, which as noted above, is $20.

Simply put, once you get inside MIR, you will be able to see everything. The Drag Showdown races, Dyno Shootout, and Car Show!

 

great! how do I send my $15 pre-registration?

 

There is a link on the MAXUS09 website that will allow you to register in advance for the Car Show and Dyno Shootout.

Are you coming to MAXUS 09? If so, please in the Attendees List thread and lets see how big of a list we can get!

9 days! Cant wait.. I just pre-registered for the Dyno Shootout and the Car Show!

 

Thank you. Registration received!

 

What TIME is the Meet & Greet tentatively scheduled for? Trying to work out what time to leave, being as how I DIDN'T get into the Holiday Inn..

 

There isn't a set time. I'd plan on being there around 4pm or so. If you come earlier, no big deal. I'll be there around 1pm and some of the other guys may be there even sooner. But, we probably won't be set up in Damon's Bar and Grill until probably after 2pm. Just a guess. Just get there when you can. There will be a lot going on inside the hotel, the restaurant, and out in the parking lot all afternoon long. I will be tinkering with my car a tad probably at some time.

 

Sounds good..

 

Do we have to pre-register for the drag showdown? On the Maxus09 website it claims and I quote "All drivers that have not preregistered by June 25, 2009 are subject to a $10 charge. Fee payable at the MAXUS registration table." But no registration link?

 

Thank you for bringing that to my attention! That is a typo and it has been removed.

There is no advance registration needed for the Drag Showdown. So you are fine. All you have to do is show up at MIR and pay at the gate.

But it is HIGHLY recommended for people to register in advance for the Car Show and Dyno Shootout.

Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Thanks.

 

There is a parking lot right beside Damons if that one gets full. It used to be Bennigans. Just letting everyone know

 

What is going to happen if it rains on any of the days?

We definitely have an event planned in case it rains. So don't worry. We will announce everything if that time comes.

But rain is not in the forecast for Sat or Sun.

 

If it rains, party's in Will's room!
