NFM is a rather large lot. Where are we meeting or how will I be able to get in touch with someone if I cannot find you?

I was going to make it until my F56 decide it was better to store the oil on the ground instead of oil pan.

I have been hearing a lot of things on forums lately about the F56 having all sorts of issues.

UPDATE: Brits contacted me. We are going to hopefully be guaranteed at least 10 spots out front. For the extra cars park wherever you can. This was the best I could do given that they are helping us out. Mcjunmp will be staking it out that morning and making sure no one parks there so that I don't have to be an *** to other people like I had to be last year.

Mcjunmp, if you have small orange cones bring them. I would purchase some for you but I'm cash strapped this pay period due to car repairs. May not even grab lunch with you all. Just do what you can to prevent people from parking in front of those meters. They will have no parking bags over them but that doesn't seem to stop people in this town.

The parking will be reserved starting at 10 am.

I will be arriving at NFM in the southwest corner lot nearest to Sporting Park by 9 am. We roll out around 10:00

Since most of these restaurants required money up front to reserve space, free state wasn't cheap last year with that regard, I will just call Limestone Pizza an hour before we want to eat and tell them to expect us.

See you all there.

How much does parking violation cost? Is it cheaper than feeding the meter?

Staci at Brits is working on trying to get us 15 spaces if possible. Parking fine is $3.00 but if we don't bag the meters so we have parking provided we will not have any spots.

Mcjunmp will be leading the group from NFM to Lawrence. For personal reasons I will be staying in Lawrence and will meet you all at Brits. I will have the parking spaces reserved for everyone.

The suggested route was 24-40. State avenue through tongy. Otherwise I suggest I-70 or k-7 to k-10

We should be fine. If all else fails, we will park on the top deck of the Vermont Street Garage.

Zach - I understand there is a half-marathon that is finishing at the Racetrack on Saturday. My understanding is that portions of State around the Legends will be closed to traffic until after 11.

This is the map. We may need to head out on Parallel instead of State.
