We've made arrangements with a great local hotel to offer rooms to particpants for half off their regular rates. The hotel is called The James and it is the premiere "chic" place to be in the heart of downtown Scottsdale. We also managed to get the whole front lot reserved especially for all of our cars!!!

Their usual rate for March is $400, we got it for $199!













See this link for more details: http://www.scottsdaleexoticcarclub.com/jameshotel.html



We're also having an after party Saturday night at the "J Bar" in the James...it was voted the " #1 place to see and be seen" by the Arizona Republic Newspaper.

I'd like to thank everyone who participated in Friday's "Day at the Drags" Event. The event was a great success!!!.We had a great turnout and great weather to boot! It seems that everybody got a lot of runs in, as well as, an opporunity to meet fellow auto enthusiasts. The staff at Speedworld did a wonderful job of prepping the track and preparing the facility for us.

I would like to give a special thank you to our sponsors for the event; RENNTech, Dynocomp, Evolution Motorsports, Highline Autos and our event coordinator, Aaron Seaford. I, again, would also like to especially thank my lovely wife, Rachel, without whom, the event would have never happened.

I have posted some of the photos and video from the event on our site. See this link:
http://www.scottsdaleexoticcarclub.com/dragday.html

If you have any additonal photos or video, please email them to me so I can post them on the site!

Don't forget about about our "Dyno Day", on Saturday, April 15th:
