I've probably been to about 15 as a kid, my grand parents had season tickets but this was back in the early mid 90's.

Everyone has alot of good ideas. I've run enough of these to know what usually will happen.
At some point CD will have to just make the decision on what event and the specifics and we'll all just show up and have a blast.
There's no way we'll get 50 cars/vettes and it would pose a logisitcal nightmare for Dave. People tend to talk a mean game.
Everyone should focus on having their car ready and arrangements for themselves to be there.

And NO, you can't race an 8 second bike and car.
Whatever it is it will probably the funnest event of the year. Everything must be ironed out online, includung specifics on the event, prepaid spots,etc.. or it will become just an ET-fest which isn't the end of the world but not as fun.

Well I take it as the experience guy/robz let as many want to register as they want. Then when it comes down to paying for the spot i'm sure it'll go down etc. So come everyone and anyone vette wise with the few minor exceptional vehicles and lets have some damn fun.

FYI!!! For anyone interested. It wont be the best ET day but a fun day. My bachelor party will be at Cecil Aug 22nd to start during the day and then strip club(s). Its a test and tune day.

I'm definately interested in going to this, by the time this goes down I'll be cammed but from the looks of things I'll still probably be one of the slowest cars there but it looks like it'll be a good time. I'll be watching this thread for details for sure.
