My Honor, Master Po!

Looks like there won't be any Gen 5s to drive at VOI. Anyone shipping their car out? I'm in, just want to know if anyone else is.

What host hotel is everyone going to be staying. It would be great if we stayed all together if we can.

While the National Board, of which I am a member as Western Zone Director, can make no promises, it is very possible and SRT's intent and hope that we will have some pre-production Gen V cars to drive at VOI 12.

We will have SRT's other vehicles to drive, like the SRT8 Challengers, SRT8 300Cs, SRT8 Jeeps & SRT8 Chargers, so ship your car if you'd like, one of our board members has made a special deal for us with a transportation company.

I plan to fly and drive their cars.

Stay tuned for more details.

Don't miss this one.

I agree!  Is that how it has been done in the past?

We're thinking about shipping, not sure yet, it's $1850 one way, but if we can round up 6 snakes, we can get the "truck rate".

In the first week of registrations, over 400 people have already signed up and hotel rooms are going REALLY fast.

My suggestion is that you not wait to make your reservations !

Please let me know who is signed up and I will start a list of attendees.
We had a very good showing in Salt Lake......Let's show them how strong our region is and have an even better contingent there in Charlotte !

Cathy and I signed up for VOI 12 yesterday.

We signed up a few days ago. Booked our room at the Embassy Wed - Sun

[Banzai Ben]

I'm registered.
Had a hard time with the hotel reservation though.
I have to stay at Courtyard Marriot Wed and Thurs then Embassy Fri-Mon.

[HyperViper]

Ben, you may want to check back with the Embassy to see if those nights open up. I originally had to book wed night at The Courtyard, called back and got Wed at the Embassy.

The long story in short form is this:
The Staff learned a few things from VOI-11,  people would reserve a room under the room block and then for one reason or another cancel.  That room which was once allocated to the VOI went back to the general pool at a higher rate.  Since the room block quantity was now reduced, VOI attendees  were not able to get rooms at their desired hotel for the VOI rate.

Fast forward to 2012: 
VOI-12 did everything they possibly could to block all the rooms at the hotels close to the Charlotte Motor Speedway.  No single hotel could accomodate 1200 people, so they used 5 hotels to accumulate enough rooms for VOI attendees.  In order to prevent losing these valuable rooms to cancellations, you must FIRST register and pay for your VOI-12.  Once you have done this, your name is registered with the hotel  that you select.  After your name has been received by the hotel, you will then be able to make your reservation.
Simple idea and plan which solves the issues of diminishing room blocks.

The biggest issue right now is that the Host hotel, The Embassy Suites, has another group using up a large block of rooms on Thursday night.  If you select the Embassy Suites as your hotel choice, you will only be able to get a room under the VOI room block for Fri - Sun.  You would then have to make a separate reservation at one of the other hotels.  The problem is that you can only select 1 hotel on the VOI registration form....so if you choose Embassy, your name is on the Embassy list.  If you try to call the Courtyard to reserve the Wed or Thurs night, they won't let you since your name is not on the list   >1

So you will have to call or email the staff at VOI-12  (Mary) and ask her to send your name over to the other hotel so that you can complete your reservation.
