Well just paid registration fee for my son and I. Little flaw on the registration is that you can only choose one manufacture, electric or nitro as well as FB or FBL systems. If you have more you still can only select one type.

For those of you that have been booking rooms, where have you been booking?

I just wanted to get a count for rooms at our hotel partners.

Also, if you haven't yet booked your rooms please do so early.
