Most all the details are on the info page, but I'm happy to go over the highlights again for everyone:

• Two plus full days of track time at Motorsport Park Hastings (fri, sat & sun)
  
• Professional driving instruction available - no extra fee - Track Guys will be on hand
  
• Three catered lunches and two catered dinners (fri & sat)
  
• Exclusive use of the Guardrail Club at the track for drivers and spectators
  
• Friday night grudge runs at the track
  
• Track tours on the Bacardi Bus - Yes, it is awesome!
  
• Sunday car show with awards
  
• Early registrants get "extra" track time Friday morning
  
• Goodie bag

We are working on several really cool VIPs to get them to attend. More details to come.

The host hotel is the Hastings hotel and conference center. Use code Mustang 2012 for the discount rate. Hotel has restaurant and bar on site and includes full breakfast.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

The full track package - double (driver and guest) is exactly what you want!

Track insurance is now available through Lockton-Affinity (Lockton Motorsports)!  Here is the link: https://hpdeins.lock...e.aspx?pID=5510

Ponies on the Plains (POTP) has announced a date change for this years event! After much consideration and looking at both the pros and cons we decided that moving the event was what needed to happen to provide the best possible experience to our participants.

The move has allowed us to reduce the cost significantly and add new features to the event! The price is now only $425 for a single track package and $50 for a guest. Non-track packages are just $200 for a single. We have also added some new things to the event including:

• Friday 10am to noon "get acquainted" track time!
  
• Friday night IMAX type theatre meet & greet with Ford VIP's, light food and a cash bar
  
• Saturday morning "high-speed" autocross event
  
• Saturday afternoon driver training will be available
  
• Saturday evening BBQ at the track followed by Drag Races on the front stretch
  
• Sunday is a full day of track action - transponders available for those who want to track their lap times.
  
• Awards and trophies

While it is always a difficult decision to change an events date, we believe the added benefits were simply too much to pass up!

This event is in conjunction with the 2nd Annual Mustang Roundup, hence the change in date, since the Mustang Roundup was already scheduled for the weekend of the 21st.

I attended the 1st Annual Mustang Roundup last year, and it was a total blast.  It's a weekend dedicated completely to Mustangs, so if you're on the fence, get off and get registered.  A bunch more wives will be joining their track junky husbands this year, so there will be plenty of significant others for yours to hang out with.

George at MPH puts on a GREAT event - if you can't have fun at this event, then you may as well sell your car and spend your weekends on the couch.

[mark.barton]

Is there still a preferred hotel and room discount for this event?

Mark

Oops, I also forgot to ask; when registering for the track package and adding a guest, does the guest get an event shirt included in the $50 fee or is that extra?

I knew you would see it my way......LOL

Looks like I may be signing up now and I want to bring the SGT and the Boss. I assume I can bring both cars on the track for the same price?

Chad, as long as you are the only driver or the other driver has also paid for track time that is fine! I got your voice mail - just been a little busy. I'll try to call you tomorrow.

I am working on that. I have been told our host hotel is not quite what it used to be. I was told the Holiday Inn and the Comfort Inn are both sponsors/partners in the track. I have not yet secured a group discount yet. Hopefully I can get that done Monday.

The $50 does not include a shirt, but extras will be available for $20.

Wow, first time I have seen this post. Guess I need to spend more time on the TS site LOL. Way too close to not go and sounds like a good time. I'm in

[firepro]

Any info on the hotel group rates? Does our entry fee also cover the 2nd annual Mustang Roundup or is that going to be a seperate event we need to buy tickets for?

[sportscars]

Event fee includes everything!

Group hotel is the Comfort Inn. Use code "Mustang Event" for the discount rate.

I'll be sending out an email in a few days to everyone who registered with more information.

Just a heads up. There is no place to enter the discount code on the hotel website nor does Choice Hotels customer service or the hotel staff know what to do with the code. I booked a room for $81.00 a night. I figured that I will have to work on the rate when I check in.
