Mike, you did see my email on the lodging correct?
Can't wait to see you guys again - and may rub in the fact that you are flying instead of driving

I see the Travelodge is the "host" hotel.. is it used by the majority?

My estimate is about 50/50.
Houses for weekly rental dramatically drop in price at this time of year. Get a couple family's or buddy's and split the house and it gets really cheap.
But, if you can only make it a few days, the Travelodge is really nice. _________________ Bad News Racing 2018 NORRA 1000 3rd in Class

There are few realty companies that manage rental houses on the OBX. I have used Village Realty and Sun Realty with good success. This year, Village will be getting our business, they just have the house we want.

The Travelodge has been our host hotel for the last three years. They are very accommodating and friendly (especially one of the managers ). Last year it seemed that all the "after parties" were held in the parking lot of the Travelodge.
As Joe indicated there are beach house rentals (off season rates) and there is also camping for those that have RVs or even want to tent camp. The camping information is on the website.
If you are in driving distance to the event, come! Even if you don't have a buggy ready, there are usually a number of empty co-pilot seats available. Additionally, you will meet people there that could become future beach house rental buddies
This is the 50th anniversary of the Meyers Manx. Bruce and Winnie will be there to help us close out the anniversary year with a bang.
Keep an eye on the website, especially the calendar of events, over the next few weeks. Vince and I are starting to firm up the schedule and will be posting soon. Event registration will open up in a couple of weeks. If you decide to do mail-in registration (closes Sept 30th) you will get a discount on the registration fee.
The MOTB is a Manx Club sponsored event and club membership is required to attend. If you aren't a club member you can join at www.manxclub.com or in-person at the event.
If anyone has specific questions about the event you can post publicly here or contact me (Bud) or Vince through the website (www.manxonthebanx.com).
Can't wait to see everyone again in October.

Yes Bud, I have seen the lodging e-mail, we're all good. Yes it is weak of me to fly this time, (C2C 3300 miles, Baja 2500 miles) I guess I will have to try harder on Shuffle to Buffalo. |

I may be one of those open seaters at the event. The timing is looking bad for Darlene at work this year. Plus, it will be a shortened week for me too, I have to work on the Monday of that week.
I will be leaving the Charleston WV area early Tuesday morning, 8-14-14 for afternoon arrival at Nags Head. If you are coming through Central WV to Richmond VA, Norfolk VA then South and want to caravan, let me know. _________________ Bad News Racing 2018 NORRA 1000 3rd in Class

House reservations made.
69 days to the start of the event.
This is the first year for me to have a running buggy this far out. I think I will start rebuilding my engine on the Saturday before the event just so I feel normal. _________________ Bad News Racing 2018 NORRA 1000 3rd in Class

Joe, don't do that. I'll have "something" for you to work on just before you leave _________________ Bud (1Madmanx)

Not sure if I"m doing a house this year or not, I won't be arriving until Wednesday afternoon so it would only be 4 nights. _________________ Manxter #39 on a 1971 Pan

Quick update: I'm in the OBX this weekend for Vince and my annual pre-event planning. Just a little hint: we are stealing a page from the Big Bear play book and changing the geocaching hunt to a combo poker run, scavenger hunt, and (not to exclude our geocachers) an option to use geo coordinates to find "stuff".
I'll be updating the calendar of events on the www.manxonthebanx.com website later this week and plan to open registration by the weekend. Check the website for updates/specifics.

Oh man....don't let Kimberly know! She was focused on winning that event at Big Bear! (I was just the driver)
I know many went on the great offroad adventures, but the Trivia contest/poker run was a lot of fun and we learned and saw many things we never would have if we had not participated. But the best part was meeting our new friends Scott and Emily Jones (I'm still running the stick on rear view mirror he gave me!) We had such a great time with Scott and his son. I highly recommend this outing and encourage you all to run with some members you may not know. We did and had a great time (and came in second). Maybe, to make it more interesting, have everyone put the name of the buggy crew in a paper and draw the three buggy teams at random? Just an idea to get people mingling more.
Now I really wanna go to MOTB! Thanks, Bud!! _________________ Or you can call me………Tim
