Mr 360glitch kind sir,

Based on my employers direction today, (look upward, weā€™re on it) I need to shift to Aug, Should I contact Fontana directly now?

My glitch not yours.
My buddy just backed out is it too late to move my reservations to the postponed date?
Not too late but you two will need to contact Fontana Village. They will be happy to help you get that taken care of. :thumbsup:

Great! Looks like you may win the award for longest distance traveled to the event. I am curious about what the trip will look like for you.

Thanks for the help 360.

Regarding distance prize...

I think Iā€™m only around 500 miles away but knowing my sense of direction, Juarez, MX, the Space Needle, Niagra Falls, and Key Biscayne are all likely stops.

What qualifies as a win?

I leave Tuesday...







for the AUGUST meeting.

Ha, we simply use google maps to measure the distance between the origin and Fontana Village. We do not take into account any side journeys. :)

Just registered. Wasnā€™t sure how to answer the driving question, because Iā€™m Jekyll and Hyde when driving on a public road and circuit. So chose moderately aggressive to split the 2.
555sexydrive,

Cool username. I almost went with 696-Dixie-Wrecked in honor of a defunct three member Southern Rock boy band posing as a girl band. (Insert OMG here).

Lots of us have alter-ego driving habits.

Spoiler alert: Iā€™m more Abbott & Costello.

Whoā€™s in first? What? I donā€™t know...you heard this one before?

Been training in Assetto Corsa lately lol. Not sure how close of a 1:1 match of the real world version the mod is. Haven't looked into the mod that deep. Just know that it's not the entire actual length. Could compare the track to someone actually driving through it in their car where there's not a bunch of cuts and edits in the video.

Judging from the game and parts of the smoking tire I've watched where Matt Farrah drives a 911, there's a ton parts where the road dips downhill and makes a hard left hairpin, and hard right uphill blind turns. My brakes are going to get a workout that's for sure. Tires too.

Fingers crossed the event still happens.

I'm really trying to figure out how to make it work. I have the time off through Monday after the event but I would have to leave early on Sunday which is still better than nothing. Hmm. Imma try and make it work as it was really fun last year.

I'm picking up my car Saturday. I live pretty close to the area, assuming things continue to stay open through summer I'd like to at least drive up for a full day.

Great! Welcome to the party over in NC.

Wear some good support picking up the car... 3171 pounds.
Driving it is easier, and more fun.

This was just posted on Resort Website



To all Fontana Village Resort & Marina guests, friends, and family: We wanted to let you all know that the recent Owners of Fontana Village Resort have decided to surrender their lease back to TVA as of June 1, 2020. This was a difficult decision to make, but due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic and the loss of a big part of the 2020 season, they have decided not to continue the lease on the property. TVA is actively looking at the future possibilities for Fontana Village Resort & Marina, but we currently do not have a planned opening date. There are a lot of details to work out between both businesses before any announcement can be made. We ask that you are patient with our staff as we work through the transition.

Wow, thanks, kind of tough to base camp at Fontana if itā€™s boarded up, chained, locked.

I havenā€™t been there but have faith our smart TotD organizers will try to find something else within a reasonable distance.
Camping not an option for this old guy, need AC, hot water, restaurants.

Darn you COVID-19! :bonk::dunno:
