Travis has not updated it yet for 2012 but this is the page: http://944fest.com/index.php

Price varies depending on if you want to drive on the track or just hang out.

Nelson ledges is located in Garrettsville, OH. 44231 http://www.nelsonledges.com/

Most people camp out, track has showers/bathrooms.

Usually there is also a car show, lots of food and adult beverages, sometimes a rally, last year had a rallycross in the grass. Tons of fun, dont miss it.

Last but not least don't forget about Dave and Tony's Bistro - the (only) place for breakfast at Nelsons....

Maybe this is the year for me to pop my 944 fest cherry. It has always been so far away from me though but it looks like a blast.

If i did go I'd really need to get my laundry list finished. Working and living in two different places really hinders one's ability to finish work in a timely manner.

Scott, I went last year and camped. It was a great time! Maybe this year we can do a convoy.

Looking forward to this year. Porsche of Beachwood stepped up to sponsor Saturday night dinner and kegs as well as the event. Going to be bigger and better - stay tuned!

Colin,

If you're interested, I'm sure you could convoy with a group of us from the DC area out there. We'll definitely be staying at the Holiday Inn that's 15 minutes away instead of camping out there.

Did enough camping when I wore green every day!

I do enjoy a comfortable bed, clean linens, private shower, and high speed internet too much!

Registration page is up and all seems to be working. Let me know if the hotel I listed is the hotel of choice for you guys (John / Doug / Etc..) so we can get everyone not camping staying at the same place. I just kinda threw the whole page together this weekend so if you see anything out of place or big questions left unanswered let me know. If everything looks good I will post up an official thread tomorrow night.

I'm signed up, but not for racing. I'm not interested in tracking the cab. I'm coming to have some laughs, do some wrenching, and if anyone needs some assistance, I can ride shotgun. (I have many years of track experience) Heck bring the video cameras, and I'll shoot some video for you. BTW, I'm not that old yet, so I have a few years of camping left in me!

A Convoy sounds good, we'll talk. Any other Ontario folks thinking of going?
