If this year's registration fee is $100, same as last year, and if we get a 30% discount, I think we'd best each send Bob $70.
That said, I don't yet see this year's registration form on the GGP web site. Coming soon, I'm sure.

So that means registration would be $66 .
This year, a buffet dinner is again included for both driver and navigator at the scenic Glen Club, which overlooks the track.
Hope you can make it!

A brief email discussion with Bob Gillespie of the Green Grand Prix confirmed:
Those who have already sent in registrations are OK.
The 2016 registration form will be up on the GGP site page in a couple of weeks.
Bob added that there's a tentative 2016 schedule on the GGP's Facebook page.
I will paste it here.
Please remember that it's only tentative.
However, one noteworthy change for this year is that the public roads rally event will be in the morning, and the track events will be in the afternoon. Bob mentioned that this should only be for this year; he expects that in 2017 we should be on the track in the morning.
The tentative schedule for April 15, 2016 Toyota Green Grand Prix:
8:00 A.M. - 8:45 Registration @ IMRRC
9:30 A.M. - 12:00 Doris Bovee Mem. Road Rally on public roads
12:00 - 12:30 P.M. Lunch
12:55 - 1:40 P.M. 1st fueling for Toyota Green Grand Prix and Prius Challenge
2:00 - 4:00 P.M. Toyota Green Grand Prix and Prius Challenge on WGI short track
4:15 - 4:45 P.M. 2nd fueling for Toyota GGP and Prius Challenge
5:15 - 7:00 PM Awards Dinner
From the looks of this, we'd have an opportunity to get lunch in town rather than at the "fry shack" concession at the track. I like that.

Heater in the garage died. Going to buy a propane heater tonight. I have so much crap to do to get my car ready.
But I will be there this year. I want to see the Tank out at the Glen.
And I will be sending Bob $70. That sounds fair.

It would be great to have you there, the more Ecomodders we have at the event the better. Its always fun, a little chilly, but great camaraderie. There are always interesting cars there too. I would recommend making a weekend vacation of it and stay in the area if you can to take in the state park and the wine country.

The registration form has a space marked "School or Company Name (if applicable", right after where it asks for your "Contact Name". I put "ECOMODDER TEAM" in that box.
Also -
Please add some information on your vehicle, beyond the bare bones the form requests. I provided engine displacement, number of cylinders, transmission type, and vehicle weight. I had a discussion with Bob last year - they sometimes need more than the bare bones basic information to break the cars out into classes. Just type or write it onto the form before sending.
