Norwalk Ohio Sept 12-14; LODGING

[V10 MOJO]

seems a good bit of people are coming to this event; Gerald from Mn, John from Miss, some texas boys, Ohio guys, the crazy Macedo clan and many others; so, is there lodging for us vipers or is it a hotel/motel free for all??

 

[Viperzilla]

Not sure about everyone elses situation, but I have free lodging for me. My house! I don't have any info pertaining to your Qs, sorry. Hope to see a lot of people there.

 

[V10 MOJO]

its only about a 100 miles from my house but i havent decided if its better to do the drive several times or just crash in norwalk.

 

[Viperzilla]

I'd say just do the drive, but that's just me. 100 miles isn't much for a drive to and from for a day for me. To help you decide; try to determine when you want to arrive, how late you want to stay, then how early you want to get back to the track the next day.

 

[Snake Bitten]

If someone local to the event could clue us in which of these hotels is Viper friendly, maybe with some covered parking...

[Viperzilla]

I'm about 30-45 mins away from the track. If you'd like me to call around, let me know. PM me about it.

 

[Snake Bitten]

Zilla...Covered parking is a must! If you get a chance, can you see who's got covered parking???

 

[Viperzilla]

I'll ask when I'll call. I won't be able to do it the rest of the week or this weekend. I have a cousin I haven't seen in 7 years coming to my house this weekend. I have to clean up my room, the bathroom, and probably some others before they get here Fri.

Snake Bitten:

We stayed at the L&K. It is close and efficient. If you want to be close you are not going to find covered parking. This is a very samll town.

 

[Snake Bitten]

Hey Jack...I'm not one to spread rumors, but V10 MOJO is a bit of a booze hound... ...If we stay at the L&K, are we going to be able to tip a few cocktails without getting the law called on us???

Hey guys, Norwalk Oh is 15 miles south from Cedar Point. Cedar Point is the premier roller coaster park in the world!! Cedar Point has many motels as well. Your also just a short ferry ride from the Erie Islands. This place is party central. It's the Florida Keys of the North Coast!! So come early and have some fun! Remember RSVP me if your attending the Saturday Night Pit Party at Clavin's> We got to get enough Steak and Lobster!!

Snake Bitten has posted the local motels. I suggest you stay in Norwalk and branch out to the other attractions. None of the local motels offers a parking garage, sorry.

However; The Ohio VCA will have a 40x80 tent on grounds (fri, sat & sun) you are welcome to leave your cars in overnight. We'll take you to the hotel if you like? Security at the track is 24/7. Security in town is no problem either. Norwalk hosts, Super Chevy, Ford Fun Weekend, World Finals and many other major events. The town and the track are experienced in catering to valuable cars.

 

[V10 MOJO]

saturday night party, sounds lke fun count me in. watch out for snakebitten though, hes a bit of a boozehound not too mention a lightweight one.

 

[Viperzilla]

haha, if you guys need a designated driver...
I will charge you a Viper ride or drive

If enough of us are staying at the same Hotel we can all put a dollar in for a 24 x 7 security person. We did this at Beechbend and it seems to work out fine and we all can sleep good all night. What track is this and what days. I just woke up and there is a race?

[Viperzilla]

All in the topic title, Norwalk (at least the town name, NHRA sanctioned track), Sept 12-14. It's about 45 mins outside Columbus.

 

[SUN RA KAT]

Count me in for this, guys.

 

[V10 MOJO]

excellent; now were gettin somewhere.

www.chryslerclassic.com

norwalk event

saturday is the viper events but the entire show is friday thru sunday, and you can do events the other days. the ohio vca has a 40'x80' tent for all the vipers who show,

basically; if the weather works out nice then this is gonna be one helluva event

 

[V10 MOJO]

BTW the Sandusky Holiday Inn is the hotel for the event, if that makes a difference

 

[V10 MOJO]

jkracer9; excellent idea

viperzilla; norwalk is an IHRA track not NHRA

 

[Viperzilla]

Thanks for correcting me. I have seen an NHRA event run on that track (I'm guessing that's what it was). It was on ESPN 2 a while ago.

 

[V10 MOJO]

IHRA easier on the rules and regs

 

[pauls]

Officially, Norwalk says no need for rollbars until 10.99 for coupes. They are giving us .5 second off the IHRA rules. My rule don't ask, don't tell. Tech guys asks "What do you think your car will go?" Answer maybe high 11s. After we (Ohio VCA) and Norwalk tech the cars, they all look the same to the staff. We've never had one checked again.

 

[SUN RA KAT]

I'll be sure to go slower, just like all Yellow Vipers.

 

[Viperzilla]

You know that black is quicker Sun.

 

[Snake Bitten]

I'll be sure to go slower, just like all Yellow Vipers.

Kenny...we are all just praying that you don't embarrass yourself and Sean with a 15 second pass...

Me,too.

Viperzilla:

A little clarification, Norwalk is only 45 minutes from Columbus, if you consider Mansfield to be a suburb or you are flying, LOL. Like Paul indicated it is 15 minutes from Sandusky. Because the tourist season is winding down, Sandusky should have a lot of open rooms.

IHRA also requires a fire retardant jacket at 11.99. Paul might want to comment on that.

 

[pauls]

Right Jack, your better off over prepared. Rules require a fire retardant jacket for 11.99 or quicker. So bring your safety equipment.
10.00-11.99 Helmet and jacket, no shorts while driving.
7.50 - 9.99 Helmet, jacket, pants, gloves and neck collar.

I'll bring a couple jackets just in case. Now I have never been questioned for not wearing a fire jacket in the 11s, but if your in the tens you better have one.
Be safe bring all your equipment.

 

[Snake Bitten]

Soooo...are we all staying at the Sandusky Holiday Inn??? Someone make a command decision...

Sorry Jack, I don't know where you're getting confused.
