SVT Superfest 2011 - SAAC-36 -- May 27-29, 2011 - Page 3

96RSvt · 01-13-2011, 12:25 AM

Hello everyone,

Been lurking here since last year, when I was planning to attend Superfest 2010. Didn't make it. Probably not the best place for my first post. But I have a few questions about the 2011 event, which I will be attending with a group of 15+ friends.

Are garages available without the suite? If so, what is the cost?

We have been in contact with VIR about reserving 2 villas. They said we will be put on a wait list??? I don't get it. If we (our group) decide to stay at the lodge, we need 10-11 rooms. Is this even possible, (through SAAC), or should we just give up and book off site?

Track time? Who is in charge of the track portion of the event, and how will the run groups be set up?

Thanks,

Go back three posts for the hotel answers.

The track portion will be set up with 5 run groups, 3 sessions a day and a Historic race group. Groups will be categorized by skill level.

96RSvt · 01-13-2011, 11:49 PM

I did miss the "garage only" info in post #19.

Not sure if we're going to take the chance with the VIR wait list or just book off site.

Me, I'm spoiled from my first event there last August with Trackdaze. Stayed at the lodge two days, so I'd like to stay on site for this event. I'm just kind of leery about this wait list.

Thanks for the reply,

**cobrabitn** · 01-14-2011, 12:08 AM

There is no "wait list" for the rooms listed on the previous page. If you want one of those rooms, you can contact me direct at 803.371.0725 for details.

And if I can add my two cents...

I go to VIR 2~3 times a year with NASA, and me and my friends always stay in one of the motels in Danville or South Boston. Danville's a bit closer, S. Boston's a bit cheaper.

Either way, if anyone wants to go to Supefrest, don't let a concern about lodging stop you.

No, we'll be there no matter where we stay. It just would work out (and it still may) for our group of 13-14 to stay in 2 villas. We tried the Sleep Inn, but they only had 6 double rooms left, so we booked at the Fairfield, which was also reasonable.

Semi hijack on/

Greg, I'm pretty sure I spoke with you at Carlisle in 2008. I was pointing out to my brother the tires on your car, which I believe were Falken RT615's. At the time, I was in the market for a 96-98 Cobra. You introduced me to someone (sorry, don't remember his name) who was selling one parked under the Brooks Racing tent. It was out of my range in price and mods, but I finally did find a bone stock 96 in April of 09.

Looking forward to meeting you (again), and other folks at this event.

You ever make it up to NJMP? A group of us are going to the NASA HPDE at Lightning on 4/16 to blow off the cob webs.

Hijack off\ (sorry)

Regards,

Looking forward to camping (RV) in the paddock! When can we begin registration?

96RSvt · 01-16-2011, 12:39 AM

One of my friends is thinking about arriving on Wed. instead of Thurs., as most of our group is planning. He and 4 or 5 others will be towing down from Jersey. He thinks (or he heard some say) that trailer parking may be a problem, late on Thursday. His other concern is with the number of cars that may be registered for track time, will there be enough time to get through tech and not miss any session time?

I think it's overkill to arrive that early just for parking and tech.

Should he be concerned with either subject?

Thanks,

**cobrabitn** · 01-16-2011, 10:27 AM

The way it "should" happen is that we do tech all day on Thursday at the track so everyone will be ready to hit the track on Friday morning. There will be a group in there running full course so we will not be allowed in the north paddock area but rather we can set up tech on the skid pad as we have done for numerous events.

There will be 5 run groups with 50 participants per run group. You will get three sessions per day on the grand course, each with a 30 minute run time. That means over the weekend, you'll get 4.5 hours of track time minimum. Usually on Sunday afternoon we will combine groups which may allow you to get event more track time.

Try to understand that this is more than just a "HPDE" weekend. It's an event with historic Mustang racing, car shows, vendors, and hopefully something special from Ford.

We are aware of the north paddock area limitations and we'll do everything we can to get all of the "track" participants in the north paddock area. We've looked at it on the map and we feel we should be able to do this but to say we 1000% are going to get everyone in there would be an assumption I wouldn't guarantee. Do I think we'll get everyone in there? Yes. Can I 1000% guarantee you that? No.

My advice to you is to get there early enough on Thursday to get your car through tech. Once you have that completed then you will not miss out on any track time.

**cobrabitn** · 01-16-2011, 11:01 AM

Okay, I've opened hard copy registration for us today. We do not have "online" registration set up yet as I'm waiting on our web guy to get it set up. If you want to go ahead and register with the SCMC, then you can do so now by mailing in a check. The final event schedule will be up soon but you can see the track schedule for the event in the first post. Remember, each club gets 125 participants and I do not look for that to stay open too long. This is going to be a fun event, I hope everyone has a good time!

If you are not a member of the SCMC then you will want to go to www.scmcstore.com and sign up. You have to own an SVT Mustang in order to be a member. If you own a Mustang or Ford (Non-SVT) and want to be counted as an SCMC member, then you'll want to join Track Club USA which is our sister club. Go to http://www.trackclubusa.com/membership.html to join on line.

I do concur. More than half our group is coming down for the off-track events. And yes, the diversity of activities (and vehicles) is going to make this a great Ford event.

That may be part of the problem, as we have a ten hour ride/tow to get there. Depends on how late tech will be open. I understand this is all very early, but, any idea?

**cobrabitn** · 01-16-2011, 04:10 PM

Probably all day till at least 7:00 p.m., possibly later. If you leave around 6:30 a.m. then you should be able to make tech on Thursday evening. We want to get as many people teched on Thursday that we can. If you wait till Friday then we cannot guarantee that you will not miss track time. All of this depends on what run group you will be in?

Now, if you want to bring me some dinner, then maybe I'll stay even later....

Tony, my paid registration ($495 + $45 [Event Gate Fee]) for the 3 day event is going out in the mail to you tomorrow. Advanced - Blue group (member with SVTOA and Track Club USA). Thanks! Mike

**cobrabitn** · 01-16-2011, 07:48 PM

Thanks Mike!! Check are always better for us so we do not have to pay the processing fee. We got screwed out of $575.00 this year from our processing company and that's why we will be changing to paypal in the very near future.

puzzle13 · 01-16-2011, 07:58 PM

From looking at the groupings it appears to me that the SAAC won't be running against the other clubs except in the beginners group. Correct? And are the instructors running with the advanced groups according to club? Just curious as one reason to come it to get to run against the SAAC cars, but it looks like that won't happen.
