jcausey — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 13:56:52 +0000

Update 04 was issued yesterday. The big news is that registration is now OPEN!!! You can get registered by following the link to MotorsportReg.com.

In addition, shared a little info about our meals and what is being planned. At this point, we hope to have a catered picnic on Thursday in the Bryson City area similar to what was done for MINIs Slay the Sleeping Dragon. Friday lunch will be a stop in Asheville and dinner will be on your own in the Marion area. Saturday lunch will be in Sparta and then a group dinner will be held in Roanoke.

Update 03

Hmm, seems I missed cross-posting this here. Well, last week we issued Update #03. It was mainly intended to remind folks that registration would be opening soon and to share some info about t-shirts.

The Tentative Itinerary for the BRP Tour 2011 is now available! Includes information on where we’ll be, what we’ll be doing. Note that we have added some twisty side trips this year! There is still time to sign up and join us (although you can’t get a t-shirt any longer!).

BRP Tour 2011 Registration is OPEN!!!

jcausey — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 18:07:29 +0000

You’ve been patiently waiting and waiting and waiting. The time is finally here – registration for the BRP Tour 2011 is now OPEN!!!!

Once again, we are using the services of Motorsportreg.com to handle registrations and order related to the event. Just use the link below:

THMMC Blue Ridge Parkway Tour 2011 Registration

Hopefully the form is self-explanatory and you can figure out how to get everything you want and sign up for all the parts of the tour that you want to be part of (which should be the whole End-to-End but we understand if it is not). We’ve made a few tweaks based on our experience last year to help the organizers keep things organized. One thing I would draw your attention to – T-shirt orders have to be made independent of the base registration, so don’t forget them as you go through the process. Speaking of t-shirts, here is the design for this year on delicious chocolate t-shirts:

I’ll also point out that we have posted an itinerary document from the 2010 BRP Tour. As we get closer to this year’s event we’ll have a new one with the information for this year – key stops, times, where we plan to eat, etc. But last year’s should give you a general idea of how things work.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Ditto if you run into problems with the registration.

Thanks for your patience while we worked to get things in order. On behalf of THMMC and all the volunteers working on this event, we thank you for your interest and look forward to seeing you on the BRP!!!
