Updates Hotel reservations are running ahead of last year and the hotel is already getting close to full for Friday night so you might want to book now if you plan to stay at the official show hotel Fairfield Inn and Suites of Malta / Saratoga.
Some participants come to Saratoga and camp at Sacandaga Lake or Lake George. This year, the Albany-Saratoga Speedway has invited us camp out at the Speedway lot. And better yet, you can camp for free. What? That is right, you can Camp For Free! And if you are pulling a Car Hauler, you can leave your rig in the lot for the weekend for free! If you camp in your rig, we ask you to stay in a group with the other Firebird Campers and help watch the rigs and cars. If you would like to camp at the Albany-Saratoga Speedway, please contact me for more info.
The New York State Police have committed to escorting our All Firebird Cruise on July 8, 2011 at 5pm from the SPA State Park paved lot adjacent to the Saratoga Auto Museum and down Route 9 to the Albany-Saratoga Speedway. We need to give them a car count in advance so I am asking all Firebird participants that want to be a part of the All Firebird Cruise to Albany-Saratoga Speedway to please pre-register for the Cruise. You can send a $10 check or money order payable to Firebird Nation of North America, Inc. and mail to: Sandra Smith, 2 Eureka Drive, Saratoga Springs NY, 12866-9031. Reference: 2011 Cruise in the memo line OR you can pre-register online with PayPal. See more info below. We need to give them a car count well in advance to the event.
The 9th Annual All Firebird Lawn Show will run concurrently with the Adirondack Motor Enthusiast Club (AMEC) Autocross to be held out on the track during our car shows. If you are unfamiliar with these folks, here is a link http://www.cvra.com/special-AUTOX-DRIFT.htm If you would like to also participate in the Autocross event, we will make special arrangements to judge your car before you take to the track in order to give you maximum points for your detailing efforts and not make you clean your car when you come back to the show from the track. There are classes for stock and modified cars in small block and V8 classes. If you would like to be a part of the AMEC Autocross, contact Dave Burnham at racing48@nycap.rr.com for more details. Cost to participate in the AMEC Autocross will be in addition to car show registration.

The NASCAR Whelen All-American Series is the grassroots foundation of NASCAR and consists of more than 50 short tracks across North America. And now you will have a chance to circle the track. This will be an exciting night! Visit http://clubs.hemmings.com/frameset.c...rica/show.html for more info or contact tsmith24@earthlink.net Pre-registration strongly recommended. We may need to limit number of Firebirds on the track and NYSP needs a car count minimum two weeks in advance of the Cruise. See Pre-Reg link below.
Pre-Register online for Cruise and Show: http://clubs.hemmings.com/clubsites/...ca/PreReg.html
Show Pre-registration will stay open until July 7. You do not have to pre-register, you can just show up and register day of show, but you will move through the lines more quickly if you pre-register. When you pre-register, you are guaranteed a goodie bag, dash plaque, and your paperwork is already made out for you. There is a separate line for Pre-reg at the trailer.
You can also pre-register the old fashioned way. Get your Registration forms here: http://clubs.hemmings.com/frameset.c.../download.html Download and print the Registration form, fill it out (Do not forget to circle Stock or Modified), attach your check or money order payable to Special Olympics Capital District Region, and mail it to the address on the registration form. It is that easy! While you are at the Downloads page, click on Classes and Awards to see the 2011 Awards Structure and Guidelines to decide if you should enter in Stock or Modified Class. Read more detail further down this newsletter.
Free truck and trailer parking is available nearby for the long haulers and trailer queens.
