PLEASE!! Open registration!!! I need to register to be able to take off my week of work, plus when registration opens that means MOTD is close...

Any idea when they are gonna open registration??? I am dying here!!!

They have a countdown for when MOTD is, we need a countdown for when registration is!

 

Mark has been hard at work and, pending some final logistical issues (due to unforeseen circumstances IE Toni Crisp leaving Fontana) that are in the process of being addressed, registration is tentatively set to begin the end of this month. Yay!!

Mark is leaving for Tennessee tomorrow, sadly he has had a death in his family and will be attending a funeral. (Mark, you and yours are in our thoughts and prayers.)

Talk about dedication! Since he will be so close to Fontana, he is going there for a visit the beginning of next week to finalize some important details.

I know, I know, we can't wait either! No worries, everyone has been working like crazy and all plans are well underway and will be completely finalized very soon. Registration will be here before we know it!! Wooohooo! :D

Toni's departure caused a reset in much of the facility planning. The facility issues can impact registration costs and so I don't want to open registration until I have costs well understood and managed. I hope to have registration open toward the end of the month. In the meantime the dates are well know...April 30-May 4th. Given this go ahead and get your vacation requested, a place to stay lined up, and registration will be coming soon.

MOTD is regularly the first weekend in May, so ask off for the time in 2009 as well!

 

Will do.. I have the sheets filled out and ready to be approved already. I talked to my boss and he likes it 2 weeks ahead at min unless its an emergency, but he said "2 months" really???

Oh yea boss man, I have to assure I get it in before everyone else.

 

im in the army and get off leave on thursday and plan to turn in my leave form for mothd on friday

 

Well here is your official countdown page https://www.northamericanmotoring.com/motd-home

Hope this helps to ease the need.

 

AHHHHHHH YESSSS!!!!
a little...

 

I told my boss I was quitting if she didn't give me the time off....I got time off :D hooray!!!
good luck

 

I'm with you! I told my boss the same thing and gave him "doe-eyes" and it worked. Of course it helps when my boss is my significant other

 

must be nice to be so needed in the workplace....

 

I haven't mentioned a word about it at work.
You see at my job if you really need the day off you don't put in for it, you just sick out.

 

what if you want multiple days off?

 

coma-out?

 

"I used all my sick days, so I called in dead"...

 

I told my boss I was quiting if I couldn't go and then my wife informed me that I am the boss and if I don't go I may not have a Job to come back to.

Regestration
OPEN....OPEN....OPEN

 

Someone's gonna owe me a new F5 button if it doesn't open soon!

I'm worse than a Wooter waiting for a BOC!

 

That is awesome...I have my browser to auto refresh every minute...

 

Mark would it be possible to get a running tally for how many registers there were per hour.... Interesting to see the gates flood marks inbox..

 

Go ahead and order a new F5 button. Because we are trying to finalize the big tent (where we'll have a vendor area, registration, dining, etc.) costs I won't be able to open it until I have confirmation from Fontana what the costs will be. I hope to have this information later this week so please bear with me. The loss of Toni Crisp (my counterpart at Fontana) definitely set the planning back a bit so we're working as fast as we can to get everything finalized. Thanks for the patience!

another week....

We need to find Mr. Crisp and get him back to take this all the way up to Mr. Fontana...

 

Actually Mr. Crisp as a she and I met with Mr. Fontana last week when I traveled back to Tennessee. I know the ownership and the team there and we're all working as fast as we can.

The good news is that we have plenty of time to get registrations in place since one of the core tenants of this year's events is not to have a limited headcount on things like dinners. This year we'll be able to serve everyone that wants a dinner on site during the event.

Mark

 

Well in that case Mrs. Crisp.. my apologies...

 

I'll miss Ms. Toni. She was a sweetheart.

 

I'm going on a hunger strike until registration opens.

AND SO WILL MY MINI!

(Please open soon, I've only got 1/4 of a tank left! )
