Ok, So - We went over the numbers for me driving out there and what not.

If I Don't do a few activities at the convention, I would be pretty well off. If I just fly out there, Again - I would be well off.

The thing is tho, I planning on a relaxing summer - With plenty of money set aside in the bank so if something does pop up I don't have to worry about it. I know what an event this convention is going to be, On the 20th aniv. of the SHO and I know that I will regret not going - But that's life. I had been planning on not going for pretty much the last year anyways because of my deployment schedule being flipped around. In my opinion something like the Convention is not exactly something to just decide to go to with nearly less the a month out.

Again, I want to thank all of you who have offered your help.

To any coming through NC on there way up to New Hampshire, You have a place to stay - I'll even provide the beer.

Next year will be different and certainly after 6 months in the Desert I'll have plenty set aside, Specifically for such events as the convention.

Sorry to hear Sam.

You gotta do what you gotta do and while we'll bust your balls over it for the foreseeable future, we understand where you're coming from.

When my '97 got hit 2 weeks before Indy, I had resigned myself to skipping it, but Kirk talked me back into going and by riding out with him and splitting a room with certain drunken Canadians, I was able to do the convention for about $600 for the week. Oddly, without my car it was still probably the most fun I've had at a convention!

Last-minute decisions can often work out best, just keep your eyes peeled for those $29 round-trip specials on the Greyhound and you'll be all set!

Tommy, let me know if you plan on breaking anything the minute you get there. We'll need to get all the requisite machine shops and tools in place.

I can understand where you're coming from Sam. Because of work I might not be able to make it either.

Quick Question to those that are going... If I can find a couple of days to go, which ones would be the best??

definitely Wednesday and Thursday. Everyone is there by then and the closing banquet can not be missed...

In his defense, he asked about 2010, not Nashua. But I was just razzing that I doubt his participation...kidding, of course...maybe.

Ted,

To be honest im sorry man. Its just that we all know how good the convention is1 We cant believe so many people come up with excuses why they cant come, or dont know any thing about it even though we have a ton of threads about it.


They just dont know what they are missing.

I live 45 min from The hotel and 15 min from NH motor speedway. I will be in Wausau WI for the month of July....go figure. If I can finish my work in WI early and get back to town, Can I register the day before the convention date? What is the latest I can sign up. My car wont be making it but I would like to partake it the festivities. One more thing, My hard cider is being bottled as we speak.:hdance:

You can register in person Sunday through Tuesday, but if you plan on attending the banquet on Thursday evening they need your registration in advance. They have to give the hotel a firm count and meal selections about 2 weeks in advance.
