Sorry for the delay in getting the specifics out there! I'm expecting a block of time on Monday where we can hash out all of the details and get everything completely 100% finalized.

No specific hotel has been blocked or booked - I've left the hotel and lodging situation a sort of free-for-all for anyone that has a particular preference or for those that want to stay elsewhere. (I also don't want to be responsible for the hooligan(s) in the hallway at 3:00am screaming about speed. )

It looks like a lot of us are swinging for Saturday. The few that don't seem to be most concerned with how early on the Saturday it is, and that some simply can't make 9:00am. I'm going to ask for a later time on Saturday if one is available. Afternoon would sure be nice. We'll see.

Parking is seemingly settled. He wanted to have us all gather up in one spot in the infield, but that spot hasn't been decided. As long as we know where we're all going, whatever The 'Glen wants to do for us will be coordinated en masse.

Ticket prices (admission into the Wine Festival + track time fees) have not yet been determined. He mentioned a package fee for us, but I'm not sure at all how he intends to deliver on that. (Anyone that shows up in a Smart pays at-the-track, or maybe he'll give us a number to call and reserve our spots? Idunno.)

Likely Sunday morning, we can gather and do breakfast (breakface) - for those who want to stay Saturday night and want to have real (not hotel) food before they drive home. See below:

If anyone has any particular questions or concerns, please let me know and I'll make sure they get addressed come Monday.

So Mike gave me the all important call back. He spent a lot of Monday getting us Smart owners all set. I thought that was really cool of him to dedicate a day to assuring us that we have a fun time.

Laps are going to have to be early Saturday morning because they apparently have a lot of other stuff going on for the event that includes use of the track. We will either plan on 9:00am or 9:30am Saturday morning, July 14th.

He's still settling on a place for us to park. He has to make sure that he gets the ok for it before he tells us, but he has it all picked out.

He's going to set up a line for us to call and get our discounted entrance / track combo tickets. We'll have something set with the ticket office specifically for Smart owners.

Friday night I'll check in to the 'Glen area, 7:30am / 8:00am Saturday, I'll be at the track in our parking spot. 9:00am or soon after, we'll roll on to the track. After that, we can explore the Wine Festival or do whatever you'd like. Sunday morning, for whoever wants to stay, I'll be going to breakfast. I'll be driving back Sunday afternoon.

Mile told me at by the end of next week, I'll have everything I need to start advertising!
