The 2013 Cape Fear 1000 will be organized on the front end a little differently this year. For those familiar with the event, it fills up in the first hours that registration is open and a long wait list forms quickly. Jim is doing registration a little differently this year, riders will be required to submit an application and will then be notified if they're able to register. I assume there will still be a wait list, but I am not the rally master and do not speak on his behalf, just passing along the info in case anyone is interested!
Again, I do not speak for the rally master, but if folks have general questions, I will do my best to answer here, or direct you to the rally master for an official answer.
For anyone who might be interested, this was posted not long ago on the Cape Fear Rider's Discussion Board:
To all interested riders:
While I normally don't make any announcements concerning the next year's rally
until after December 1st, this year I plan to be at The Eldridge Children's Home
that day participating in their annual Christmas Toy Run, so I thought I would
kick things off a little early (which is, apparently, still too late for Sal).
While the website should be updated prior to the Christmas Holidays with the
specific details, I would like to announce the general parameters of the 2013
CF1K. As we have done in the past, there will be three starting locations for
the 24+ hour version of the rally. Starting time will be 10:00 am Eastern, on
Friday, April 19, 2013 and you will start from either Batavia, NY; Union City,
TN; or, Wauchula, FL. Due to the strong turnout last year, we will also have
the 10-hour Mini-Rally departing at 6:00 am on Saturday, April 20, 2013, from
our host motel, The Econo-Lodge Wilmington. The Mini-Rally Rider's Meeting,
Finish, Scoring, Banquet and other activities will again be at Lily's Banquet
Room, located at the rear of the Econo Lodge property.
Now for the bad news. There is a major change to how riders will be able to
participate in the CF1K. There will no longer be an "open" registration.
Beginning January 1, 2013, riders who are interested in participating in the
CF1K will have to submit an application for registration (the format, including
required information, will be available on this board and on the website) to:
[email protected]Applications will be approved and registration
emails sent to riders through the Ride Master program beginning January 15,
2013. Consideration will be given during the approval process to prior
participation in the CF1K, participation in other rallies as a rider or staff,
willingness to start from a location other than the primary choice and such
other information as the Rallymaster deems important. As in the past, I will
maintain a waiting list for each starting location once we have reached the
maximum number of riders.
For the final bit of bad news, the quotes for everything this year have gone up.
For the last three events I have been able to hold our suppliers to their 2009
prices, but I am consistently hearing that this year our costs are going up at
least 5%, and in one case over 30%. As a result, entry fees will increase by
$10.00. What this means is that the 2013 Entry Fee for a one-up rider will be
$105.00, and two-ups will be $155.00. Entry fees will still include a
short-sleeve rally shirt for the rider (and passenger, if applicable), snacks
and beverages at the finish and BBQ Banquet Saturday night.
So, mark your calendars for January 1, 2013, look for a posting and announcement
when the format with required information is posted and get ready for the
kick-off of the 2013 Rally Season.
