To answer a few questions: Monday-Thursday is (as Ron said) to allow people to have two weekends to travel and only use one weeks vacation. Also allows people to pack a day or two on either end for solo vacationing. Weekends are almost impossible to get drag or road course tracks, and visits to tourist destinations are also less crowded. Yes, it eliminates some people that can't get away, but we found that many more people can make this format that can actually come to the convention. Sorry if some people can't make it, but there is no "perfect" timing/month etc. We choose the best compromise.

Costs: we now have the hotel cost, pretty cheap for a quality hotel. Try to stay at the host hotel, as it helps us defray other costs like room rental for the banquet. But if you have to, it is easy to check out budget hotels in the area. we choose a higher line hotel for their banquet and parking facilities, the price this year is pretty low for the quality. Track days, we try to keep under $200 per driver, but no promises till we get the track to commit to their price and check out insurance. We have alternate plans just in case. There is plenty to do in the area.

More details as we get them, we hope to have a registration form on the club web site by the first of the year. http://www.shoclub.com
