Kevin and I are finishing up the car soon! Very excited to showcase the car again this year. Don, can't thank you enough for giving everybody the opportunity to showcase their vehicle. (And it makes my sponsors happy. Haha)

 

For those signed up to put their car in the show today (12:00-4:30pm), here are some brief directions based on the procedure from previous years.

1. Get your car inspected in the Convention Center underground parking garage by the Fire Marshall. Tell the entrance attendant what you are doing, so you won't have to pay. The Fire Marshall will check that your car has less than 1/4 tank of fuel and put a sticker on your car.

2. Go to the Guard Shack shown on the attached map.

3. Once you get past the Guard Shack, go up the spiral ramp to the loading dock area and then turn right.

4. You will pass a bunch of loading docks on your left.

5. You will approach more docks to your front and will have to turn right again to keep the docks on your left. There will be an entrance ramp to the left prior to reaching a 100-ft long bridge. Last year I entered here. This year the Show has added Hall A (where the NTEC booth in located), which is down past the 100-ft bridge. There should be an entrance ramp past the bridge, but I can't confirm it. You'll need to check this out yourself when you arrive and find the closest entrance to our booth.

 

Just out of curiosity, do they have a way of actually checking the fuel level or are they just going by the gauge?

 

They just look at the gauge.

 

Ok I was curious. I entered my car in HIN a few years ago and they just looked at the gauge. So instead of burning off 3/4 of a tank of fuel after driving down from OKC, I just unplugged the fuel gauge so it defaulted to empty lol.

 

Why not plan your fueling accordingly and abide by their safety procedures?

 

yea you have 5 days, just plan and adjust your next gas fill.

 

Because the management of that certain event failed to inform the entrants of the regulations. In the future, I would. Like I said, that was purely out of curiousity. Im not participating in this event.

 

odin - Either Sat or Sun

Btw, when and where should everyone meets before heading to the show? By driving our own cars or by taking Dart train?

Thanks,
Yang

 

Let's meet at Mockingbird Station 12:30 on Sunday

 

Sounds good, Thank u, sir! Will be there =)

Too bad that my X could not make to the display in time, but I am sure it will shine next year =P

 

So the vote was for Sat... then....

Gets changed to Sunday at more or less the last minute.. what gives?

 

Since Don is the one who gives us the opportunity and is providing tickets, he ultimately gets the final say.

 

I spoke with Don today and the NTEC group event lunch and event will be Saturday.

Just a slight communications error. No big deal.. Its Saturday as originally planned. Sorry for all the confusion.

Would it be good to get a head count for meeting at Café Express? If so, count me in plus Elizabeth!
