    If it goes well maybe they'll add 3000 more for 2016 :D Would be nice if we could get in with a 30 seconds buffer lol

    Definitely! Yeah someone on facebook said they were thinking people would get in with BQ-1:00 or maybe even less than that this year!

    We'll have to see!!!

    Last year BQ-1:20 got in, so I bet you will see BQ-30 seconds this time with all the increased slots plus less deferrals.


    Hopefully they build a few more hotels because I am tellin'ya- finding a room is crazy!!!

    This is awesome. Because if I manage to qualify it's going to be by about 30 seconds.

    I could rent out a room! Only 3 miles from the finish line! Short subway ride away, or it is a nice run. ;-)

    Yeah, my friend with BQ- 1:00 couldn't get in.

    BQ - 30 seconds would be awesome. Not that I'm getting in for 2015... I'm working on 2016.

    I'd buy that! There are some room sharing sites and people are getting rich quick!
