Ali & I are thinking about having a pre-rally BBQ/Get Together at our house the night before the rally... just trying to gauge some interest. We are about 45-50 minutes away from the starting line / hotel that Sean suggested.
If people are interested, I could also find/recommend cheap hotels a little closer to us that would be about 30 minutes from the starting line if you want to come hang out for the BBQ but don't want to drive all the way to Hartford afterwards...
We live in the woods... So its quiet, room for parking, will prep you for Sean's fucked up checkpoint locations (we live on a dirt road lol), and of course.. the fire pit would be going..

Just so you know, I'm going to book another hotel. I didn't like the reviews that I read on that place.

I can probably get rooms @ the Courtyard Marriot in Norwich for $80/night... Maybe even cheaper.. My company uses them alot.. They recently redid the whole lobby & even has a Starbucks in the lobby now...
You can probably get decent room prices @ The Holiday Inn Norwich too..

Tiff works at the Holiday Inn express. She's going to see what she can do.
See if you can call the Marriot and get something for us.
We need a block of rooms that people can call and pay for themselves. I figure 10-20 rooms, but not sure on an exact count. I know 5-6 of the Yuppie Racing guys want hotel rooms, Karoline and I want a room and anyone else. I'm sure Raags will want a room.
See if you can set something up and get a contact name and number. Just tell them you represnt the NER and want to set up a block for wednesday August 5th for 10-20 rooms with 2 beds each.

Got a call back... $79 @ Courtyard Marriot in Norwich.
If you want Sean, here's the info.
181 West Town Street Norwich, CT 06460 (860) 886-2600
Ask for Christie, tell her you are with NER, about the Gunther Rate. She says she can give you a web link so people can individually reserve their rooms, etc etc.
I will say this... The marriot while about 30-40 mins from the start, is a really nice location, and right off Rt2 which is straight shot to SubiMods..
Anyways... Who wants to hang out and talk trash the night before?

Maybe I'll swing down. I think Sean may be staying in lisbon at my place the night before too so I'll ask him too. Everyone can drop cars off at the house and we can all take the jeep over so none of them get dirty, haha.
