I'm still a youngster (almost 25), but I'd love to come with you guys and check out all these crazy mods in person. I can chat it up about cars all day long though - you think that qualifies me?

*edit* I'm not calling anybody old, heh, just making sure that my, umm... "youthful exuberance" won't intrude on anybody's fun.

Also, the fee is per car, but can we bring guests along? Simple enough question, I know, but...

Enthusiasm is welcome, regardless of age.

Fee is per car, no charge for spectators. I just need a firm head count for the track and for drinks.

We would love to have you.

Can't make the trip from NY on this one guys, but have a blast.

For all those considering this track event, but are unsure, DO IT!!

I drove all the way from NY for the last one in May and it was awesome in EVERY respect.

Make sure you guys post vids/pics.

Lotta bdays around that time. My youngest daughter's 1st bday is on the 18th (having the party on the 19th - weekend - more people can make it). These are the things you DON'T want to miss! However, she LOVES watching the race videos from the LET event last month and she won't stop going after the trophy (I think it is the shiny gold car on top ). Gotta love kids man.

Any cool door prizes this time Wayne? Can't wait to see how your car runs.

Besides the usual trophies, we have some AMG dress-up parts and are waiting on confirmation for the big stuff.
