Thumbs down THE NOR'EASTER IS STILL ON - JUST A FEW CHANGES

Folks, the Nor'Easter is still on! AUGUST 15th - 17th
Track day AUGUST 18th



We have scaled back the event due to a smaller turnout than expected. For those that have already registered, there will be a portion of your registration that will be refunded to you shortly.

Here is the schedule:

Friday - Check into the hotel. New England folks will be on hand to greet you, and give you your badge, magnet and T-Shirts.
We will have a Welcome Reception with appetizers, at the banquet hall next door to the hotel, but dinner is on your own, however, the hotel has a restaurant and lounge in the same banquet hall, which will be a great place to mingle. We will also have a hospitality suite at the hotel. IN ADDITION... New England's Zzzippyyy will be hosting a Micro Beer Tasting Event.
This will be located in our second Hospitality Suite at the hotel. Dave (Zzzippyyy) will lead us through a variety of micro brews to please the discerning palette. There will also be a blind tasting to see if you actually like Bud better than the boutique beers. Participants may be asked to contribute a modest fee to cover the cost of the beer.

Saturday - Legal Bill's Cape Cod drive will depart in the AM.
We will tour Woods Hole, visit Nobska Light for a photo opportunity, view the Elizabeth Islands, take some twisty roads along the coast, visit Hyannisport (on a clear day, you can see the Kennedy Compound), tour the Toad Hall car museum to see the world's largest collection of red sports cars, and then enjoy a cook-out lunch stop at Legal Bill's. If time permits, we will visit the Cape Cod Winery.


Lainey & Rick's country ride Final route and departure time is in the works. We may depart earlier than originally planned to include a lunch stop at a local drive in as well as other stops...to be determined as people let us know what they want. There will likely be a wine stop and possibly a brewery stop on this ride as well. There may be a second shorter route with winery and ice cream stops led by Chazmo. The country rides and Bill's Cape Cod Ride will be back at the hotel with plenty of time to clean up for dinner.

Saturday - Banquet and awards from sponsors


Sunday - Tour to Battleship Cove with New England's Jeff/sireousrex, a former member of the US Navy. If folks are interested, there may still be a group heading to the F1 track, also if enough folks are interested, there may also be a Sunday drive.....to be determined.

Monday

It was a team effort, g-s2k, and Cubs2k, are also involved in all this; we had people threatening to show up anyway. So we figure, gotta give the people what they want.

It's been very difficult getting the participation needed to hold a full scale event. It does leave us our heads.

It has been insanely difficult getting people to be interested in this...

I wonder if maybe the group should not have skipped a year? Too much turn over in owners? Not enough new owners got to see how much fun the big events are?

I'm baffled by the low registration
