Thanks for the quick schedule update. Only 11 months of procrastinating before I have to worry about next years car.

Exactly.
Let us know when the room block is confirmed with the BW. How they sold seemed to be an issue to Tom in the town hall. I can commit to booking my room ASAP to show the BW we are commited.

Will do - working on the contract right now :)
i'm with hobie. while it was kinda nice staying at an airbnb closer to the track, i really missed the parking lot sessions.

Wow, that was fast. Thanks!
My nephew is going to try his hand at a build this year. Getting the hotel out of the way is one less logistical problem we'll have to solve.
Registered for the event, but when I opened the hotel link it defaults to check-in Thursday and check-out Monday, and I was unable to change the check-out date. Perhaps it’s just me defending my lawn, IDK.
Now I have to cook up some almost-zero-dollar changes for 2027. How is MonZora 4.0 gonna be different from 3.0?
