Can someone point me to the schedule for the day? New to the area and I plan to come up to mingle and smell hot brakes . I found the class counts on NESCCA but not the schedule for either PRO IT or SCCA. Thanks in advance.

I'm there...but working Tech (and drinking beer). 'Teg ain't ready...sigh...was really hoping to get a National finish under my belt...
Direction questions - do I take 293N to 93N and bypass the construction?
Or, looks like I can take 91N all the way to Brattleboro VT and then cut accross to Concord NH on Route 9. Anybody try this? Route 9 looks like a single lane deal.... 100 miles on country road...
Any suggestions?

My route from Connecticut to NHMS is I-84 East to the Mass Pike, then I-495 North to Route 3 North towards Nashua (exit 35?); that's the Everett Turnpike that goes through Nashua and Manchester. Trailer-friendly (4-lane, divided, but the run through Manchester is a tad twisty, just slow down), and the tolls are cheap (EZ Pass works in MA and NH). Go that way and you'll bypass Dan's construction zone.
Just note that on the way back, the Everett Turnpike exits to the left. Just move left as you pass the NH State rest area/liquor store (you'll see what I mean, pretty decent prices on beer/wine, no tax) and you'll be fine.

Thanks Matt. Now you know why my handle is Slow...
I would normally take rt 9 so that should answer your question it takes nearly the same time IF you have no traffic and you like windy roads while maintaining highway speeds.... so in short its not a prime towing road
I think route 3 would have worse traffic problems with the construction on that side but as long as your not traveling at 5pm in that area it is probably OK. If you do take route 3 ( which h is what I would do) DO NOT STAY IN THE LEFT LANES AS YOU NEAR THE TOLL. It has a massive dip (almost a hole) that you really want to avoid! Good luck and have fun.

Stephen gives a good warning...
Rt 3/Everet Turnpike is most certainly faster than 93 (good Call Greg).... The roads are also all in VERY GOOD condition with the one MAJOR exception... When approaching the Bedford toll northbound do not travel in the left lane. A MAJOR dip in the road will not be good for the tools, but it will probably get the mice out of the race car! But for real other than that most of the roads are in perfect condition from Burlington MA north to the Hooksett Toll Booth in NH.

Thanks guys - advice is much appreciated - avoiding the swampy highway on the left side of toll :-)
