Meet Up

If anyone is interested in meeting up before hand, I'll be at the COSTCO parking lot on North Nevada(Colorado Springs), at 8:00 am on Saturday. I'll leave there at 8:30 to travel to the airfield. LMK

I just sent Ryan/Corey an email to ask about possibly parking a group of us together, either in the designated VIP parking area, or with Jeff, who is running his car both days. I'll reach out to Tony and Jason via FB to let them know as well. If that's doable, we can meet up and then caravan in on Saturday morning. I already purchased a VIP ticket for myself.

I've been drooling over the Pike's Peak runs lately and just saw this.

The lady and I will be in the area that weekend and she's down to check this out. Downside is I won't have the M3, but it would be super cool to see other's setups.

Will look more into logistics tonight. Does everyone run both days?

Sounds good if people have an interest in meeting up. I figured it would be a good way to meet more M folks.

I'm still going to be there at the parking lot of Costco on North Nevada at 8 am. I only know of one or two folks who have said they would join up. I'm buying my VIP tickets on Wednesday, hoping for a few to show. There may be a few donuts too.

Corey replied with the following...

"I don’t think there will be an issue getting your car near Jeff’s as each participant gets 2 crew tickets and 1 support vehicle (your car could be the support vehicle). If there are more of you guys I would suggest a Pit Row Suite. They’re $500 for the weekend and include a 20’x20’ space for cars and tent, as well as 4 single-day GA tickets."

I did not know about the pit row suite as an option, and not sure if we can get enough folks to chip-in for that at this point to make it worth it.

I believe gates open for participates and support crews at 6am, where public access is not until 8am. I'm waiting to hear from Jeff as to when he'll be rolling out on Saturday morning. MilehighM3 is also running his, and may reply to this thread.

If I remember, Jeff will be out of state, but I'm not sure. I spoke with Bryan and he will be there early for the drivers meeting. I don't know how the parking situation will be for VIP if there is a group. I'd suspect it'll be together.

Jeff is supposed to be leaving for Malaysia Friday. I say he needs to get that beast out so it can throw down the gauntlet! @ JABSprings where are you....

I'll be running mine since I was convinced to show everyone what a slow ass NA M3 looks like running 130- if I'm lucky lol. Anyone want to lend a guy a supercharger for the weekend, or indefinitely?

Yep...looks like Jeff won't be making it, at least as of yesterday. He said something could change before Friday, and he would let me know. At least his company would reimburse him, which is good.

I'm not sure if we can come in w/ Bryan? I've replied to Corey to confirm, but since participants are allowed one additional support vehicle, that would pretty much leave the VIP parking. I will probably get there early regardless, and can try and save some spots in the VIP parking.
