Not yet, they will posted in the next week or so. It will be very similar to a standard HPDE event self-tech form. Roll bars are required for convertibles

High Performance Driving Event. Here is an example for one of our road course events. The Airstrip Attack tech form will be similar.

Thanks for the PM Ryan, at the moment I'm going to be stuck working the weekend of the event so I am screwed!

I was really looking forward to this so I'm pretty disappointed.

Eric you may be holding it down for the C63's dude...

I noticed Josh is registered too with his beast of a C63 (aka Silver Dragon), so hopefully we do some solid representin' between the two of us. I'm actually looking forward to doing a run against him since I've always been impressed by his car's performance in videos I've seen.

Gonna be a great event...really disappointed you can can't make it.

You driving up the day before, or early the morning of?

It's going to be an epic day, I'm going to try and hustle so I can get out there somehow. Might be cracked out working late Friday night then leave drive up Saturday morning.

Pretty sure it's meth capital of the world out there so I should be able to get some no problem.

There are like 10 335i's coming up there, you better watch your back.

CARAVAN INFO FOR AIRSTRIP ATTACK: For those staying with us at the Hampton Inn in Ridgecrest the Friday night before the event, we will be caravaning from two spots on Friday mid-day.

Los Angeles Caravan: Chevron Station. 12881 Encinitas Avenue, Sylmar, CA. (Last exit on the 5 before the 14 - Roxford St.). Meeting at 1:30 PM, leaving at 2:00 PM.
Led by Ryan (Black C6 Z06)

Orange County Caravan: Best Buy Parking lot. 2982 El Camino Real, Tustin, CA 92782. Meeting at 12:30 and leaving by 1:00 PM. Led by Jason (Blue GTR)

The LA and OC caravans will be taking different routes. The LA caravan will be taking the 14 up and the OC caravan will be taking the 15 to the 395. These are the most convenient routes based on where you are coming from

Hey Ryan, I can't remember if you already told us, but will there be food and drinks provided at the event? Or should we bring our own?

Who's bringing the strippers, or do I have to wrangle up my own in HB and throw em in my hauler? Yes, my hauler has a stripper pole ...I just hope my driver remembered to throw it in the hauler before he left.
