[Hahn63]

Ok lets see a show of hands whos coming or thinking about coming. At $500 it should be a no brainer!

Roland,

What is the date? This sounds like something I would love to do... Maybe I can convince someone to go I've never been to nelson! How many drivers usually participate in a 12 hr race?

Pit Stop???

At $500 it should be a no brainer!

I'm "in" for any $500 12-hour ride someone has available...PM me.

[MMiskoe]

Greg you're smarter than that - the $500 is the team entry fee. (then again you turned me down last year to be part of the 24 hour that we went on to win overall!)

Stephen - look for 3 drivers, you could do 12 hours w/ 2 but it would be a long day. Nelson is pretty easy on brakes, but hard on everything else.

3-J's / Wild Child hand-delivered an "intent to enter" to the Registrar last weekend, during the StCt National.

Not sure what we'll be driving...but we'll be there. Trying to find a car to match all the rubber we have.

$41.67 an hour. And we'll drive in the dark, too !

NL is a terrific track. A bit bumpy in places, but who needs four wheels in contact all the time. Adds to the fun.
The NEOhio people who put this race on are excellent hosts. Come and meet them.
Iron Dragon ran the races with the 280Z when they were 12 hours.Varied success but always fun and we won ITS in 2006
In 2007-08 we ran as Rhinocerous Racing in Tommy's Miata and won SM last year.
We will definitely be part of NL 12 in 2009 and I hope others from NER and other Northeast Div clubs will make the trip.
It's worth the drive and the entry fee is a bargain.

Plenty of camping area at the track.
Plan ahead about motels - this part of Ohio doesn't have a lot to offer.
Newton Falls is where to look for stuff.

Think about this: 95% of SCCA racers have never made a fuel and driver change pit stop. And of those less than half have ever driven a road course at night.
Here's a chance to do some real driving.
Enter Up!!

It took a while to cement the relationship but I came to LOVE NL. I thought of it as the "24 hours of tarmac rally."
