Wed - plenty of room
Thurs - short waitlist
Fri - one more before waitlist
Sat - four more before waitlit
Sun - plenty of room

You will need to call around for hotels.
There is still room in Emira, Ithaca and Corning from what I understand.
Maybe you can find something in town.

The event essentially starts Tuesday evening. Why are you leaving Sunday?

[bduboeuf]

yes sorry for the confusion leaving on Monday

[woodym3]

No definite plans yet, but I'll probably depart late Tuesday morning and stop for a late lunch at the Bull Frog Brewery in Williamsport, PA.

[1996 328ti]

I'll have to add that to my itinerary. Both ways.

I'm holding off registration, hoping to get number 666.

Vic

That can be arranged.
BTW- 69 is now available.

[bduboeuf]

I so want 69 it is the number of my state or region in France and my favorite of something Hehe
I guess I will be the frenchy(yes I from France)
As a new guy I need to attend the first time meeting
That is why I am leaving on Monday

[bduboeuf]

do I need to change my tires before going or should I finish them overthere. I have about 20% left in all for corners. I'm doing a 5 day school driving school (if I get in all of them). And what should I ask my mecanic guy to inspect on my car before going there.

Thank you

[1996 328ti]

If you finish them off there, don't forget you need to get home.
I'll change your registration number.
Vic, 666? I could do it you know.

[1996 328ti]

Sure, why not? It's not like Watkins Glen is in the Bible Belt of South Carolina.

Vic

That's next year. 40th Ofest in Greenvul.
You got it.

Anyone want to Caravan to O'Fest? Tuesday, September 23rd, looking to arrive in Watkins Glen midday - mid-afternoon.

Vic

I don't think I'm leaving until very early Wednesday morning, but I'd be willing to drive along with someone. I only reserved my hotel for Wednesday through Saturday. I'd be leaving from either Baltimore or Hagerstown (depends on who is dogsitting).
