q about drag racing: if there is someone in our class that we would specifically like to go up against, will that be allowed, or do ALL the matches have to be random? and also, will there be any practice runs allowed for those who are not familiar with drag racing, or people that did auto->manual swap or something major like that?
We should be able to allow a 'free for all' grudge racing class where we can pair people up. But those runs won't count for the official heads up classes.
But in the organized heads up classes, pairings will be randomly chosen or it may be dependent on your time trial qualifying runs. (ie, fastest car during qualifications gets paired up with slowest car) We may use that kind of ladder system.
Also, there will be time trial runs prior to the start of eliminations. Usually, you get at least 2-3 qualifying runs before eliminations. Depending on the time allotted, you may get more qualifying runs.
But all that will be planned in the months to come. And the rules and class qualifications will be very clear prior to registration.

cool. Will non-Maxima and non-Nissan cars be allowed on the racing events? Like Cutler, Irish44j, etc? Or people that us members know who are not maxima.org members? I've got a friend with a Probe that might like to come and his car is something I know he'd like to put on the track.. just wondering if that would be OK.

DO NOT PM ME ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH YOUR CAR UNLESS I TELL YOU TO. THAT'S WHAT THE FORUM IS FOR

We haven't worked that out quite yet. But we'll know for sure in the coming few months.

Alright I might go for this one. Don't know what the status of my car will be in June but it should be up and running by then.
I will go if there is a road course event planned but we all know it's hard to get anything like that going for Maxus. Don't get me wrong I like to meet Org people from other regions and check out new (to me) places. But I don't like hanging out for a few days with no real activities.
My suggestion for a road course event is to run with SCDA at the brand new New Jersey Motorsports park. They have a two day event planned on 6/22 and 6/23 at NJMP. The park is located in southern Jersey 20 miles west of Atlantic City. So if Maxus is in DC or MD it will be close to NJMP.
The only downside is the cost, it will be about $300 per day to run on this track with SCDA. However newbies get an instructor for the day and you don't have to do cone or corner work. The event will go on with or without the Org so if we can get a few Maximas signed up that's fine by me.
Regardless of what everyone else wants to do, if Maxus falls around this time I will try to attend both events as I attend alot of SCDA events in New England. It would give me a good excuse to drive that far to check out NJMP and maybe Atlantic City.

Yeah, that might be optimistic. I was at Maxus '08, and while it was a good turnout, it wasn't close to 70.
Xander did a good job of organizing it, as well. I hope that continues for this year. Hopefully this year's organizers have contacted him for some in-review and feedback comments to make the job even smoother for '09.
I don't think I will be attending Maxus this year. It would cost me way to much since I would drive my supra.
To the organizers let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Well Will, I suppose if you made it to Chicago, I could make it to the DC area.
The food idea sounds great! What was it that we are NOT going to try? That thing that the waitress couldn't explain?

yeah i think it was something to do with stomach.... but if you cant make it, its ok. i was way to busy to go last year so i know the feeling
So uhhhh, whats the official dates? I'm going to take a week off and drive up and trying to put in my vacation time ASAP.
We are VERY close to releasing the official dates and location of Maxus 09. We are just finalizing the contracts for the track and hotel. Once we know those are 100% set in stone, then we will release the information.
We plan to release this information within the coming few days.

Aaron does the track you are considering allow camping? Hotel costs make the trip a lot more expensive.
Having camping at the track means not having to pack everything up, change tires etc etc, a lot of work if its a 2 day event and you come on fri.
I do not believe the track allows on-site camping. But we will bring that up during the meeting.
There are several campgrounds within a 20 mile radius though. But I understand about the convenience of spending the night before tinkering with your car at the facility.
The track event is only expected to be a large one day event. But Maxus will be over the entire weekend.

WOW this sounds like a blast, but DC? I live in Reno, NV and while that only like 2600 miles (one way) i dont think i could take off enough time to Drive to the event, attend AND drive back.
Anyone one of a good auto transport company? I might be able to send my car ahead and fly out to meet up and drive back?!?

That would be awesome! This year's Maxus will definitely be so monumental that some people are going to fly into town or drive over 1500 miles to be there.
And I'm sure we will have several spots for the Farthest Traveled award.
We are still in the process of finalizing all the official event information. So stay tuned! I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

I'm pretty sure they do NOT allow camping overnight. And won't for insurance reasons!!!
Same here.I think they dont but they do have a grounds keeper. An I havent heard of anything happening overnight.But if I was u call them.If I didnt have so much to do I would bring my inclosed car tailer an rent spots out in it.Its so meny people worred about the same thing.

Again there are State Parks in the area, an theres also a Maryland welcome station / rest stop close by and there are other low budget motels in the area. Also many members are sharing rooms to reduce cost. Maybe some maxima.org members can host out a towners for a night or 2 also. I have 4 friends from NYC staying with me!!!
Well, to that end, it would have to be more specific. Sound competitions have different categories (SPL, SQ, SQL), so for some you'd need be wary of noise ordinances, others...not so much. Don (Pearl96Max) can elaborate
