2011 Nissan-Infiniti National Convention

First of all, Happy New Year!

I apologize for being relatively “new” here and posting this. I am a fellow Nissan enthusiast. Just to prove my point, I bought a 1995 200SX SE-R at the age of 19, convince my wife (girlfriend at the time) to ditch her Cavalier and get a 1993 NX2000, later bought her a 2002 Maxima SE, and purchased a 2008 FX45 as well as G37 (which my wife later sold unfortunately). Anyway, my point is that I’m a fellow Nissan enthusiast.

I’m writing today to let you know of the 2011 Nissan-Infiniti National Convention. You can read all of the information (we will be updating the website as information comes in and as we get closer to the date) on our website at www.nissan-infiniti.us. This convention has morphed from the SE-R world and we are trying to encompass all Nissans, Infinitis, and even Datsuns. This year’s convention will be in South Jersey over the weekend of August 5-7.

The convention typically consists of a track day on Friday (we will be at New Jersey Motorsports Park), a free day for people to do as they please (some chose to hang out at the hotel making new friends, some chose to go drag racing, some will go to the beach, some will do touristy stuff, some will work on broken cars), and a carshow/picnic on Sunday complete with food, trophies, and tons of raffle prizes.

For the month of January we are offering an early-bird price for the track event registration. Below are the details but we are asking people to register early with the potential to make roughly half of their money back if we break even on the event by a pre-determined date.

Even if you’re not interested in the track event, I’d encourage you to think about coming to this convention. We’d like to take this convention to the next level and it only makes sense to include all Nissans, Infinitis, and Datsuns as we are all in the family and we are all “Nissan enthusiasts”

There are a few reasons for this early-bird program:

- Plain and simple, we need money in the coffers. We need to put deposits down on things, we need to pay for supplies, we need to be able to pay for online registration/paypal fees

- See the attached document for details but there is a potential discount to early-bird registrants. In short, if we hit our target, we will be refunding a portion of your registration. We’re hoping that this will help us market the event. It gives you, the registrant, a vested interest in promoting the event and getting more people registered!

- We’re looking to generate interest early on. The convention is “only” 8 months away but that time will fly by quickly. We want people to get interested and we want to maintain that interest

For anyone worried about not knowing me and sending me money, I want to assure you that I have nothing to hide. My username is my name; Kieran Lavin. I don’t want people posting it publicly but, if you did a simple search, I’m sure you could find my home address, phone number, employer, whatever. I’m not going anywhere. Now, on to the details:

We look forward to hearing from you and please feel free to spread the word within the Nissan/Infiniti/Datsun community!

man my buddy has a mini and they get people from 1000+ miles away for major events. I drive from DC to St. Louis on a long weekend. I guess being an enthusiast these days means manking a garage kept beauty with no miles on the car. Why did you buy a G and not drive it. I dont drive my car daily and I still put 30K miles a year on her.

I guess I am a different bread. In my opinion I am an enthusiast, which mean driving a car is the top priority, the meet at the end is just a bonus. I look for reasons to put miles on my car.

anyways, representing National G Club, I will roll with the family.

8 months of planning, that could be one awesome road trip.... meet up with Ohio Folks, PA folks MD folks etc.

I guess I am as rare as a set of 21 inch rims.

^ then buy a hybrid, the G is too expensive for your pockets then.

boosted I still get 25mpg.

8 months, stop drinking starbucks/beers/buying play station games, and taking useless chicks out to dinner and save up. lol

if you make it to DC I will consider towing you up. But I need the trailer on the way back, the way I drive, she might get damaged on the track. LMAO!

Agreed! We have people driving cross country in heavily modified, uncomfortable rust buckets with no radios. You guys all have G's! MUCH more comfortable cruising cars.

Either way, I hope to see some of you there!

We've received lots of interest regarding the early-bird. I just want to remind everyone that the deadline to register for the early-bird is approaching (1/31/11) and that payment must be received by 2/8/11.
