I'll be there, but only to be a spectator. Not sure I'd even want to make a pass in my high 13 second E500. Hell, maybe I'll run the R500 for kicks 
The only real reason I want to come is to chastise the West Coaster's as they come back on the return road with their tail pipes stuck between their legs.

jcart, you were absolutely right. At first when I got a quote to ship one car (mine), I was quoted by this fancy company $2800 one way (closed trailer, covered by high insurance, careful drivers, and excellent equipment; they're supposed to be one of the best companies for transporting exotics). Anyways, today I called them and got a quote to pick up 6 cars from one location and bring them back. Guess what? They quoted me $2500 (round trip). That's a big freakin difference 
Total cost per car went down from $5600 down to $2500.

I am checking my schedule now....... sounds like a great meet.
I may need to come under an assumed name because I'm sure I've insulted just about everyone on that list at one time or another.

So I am putting the thinking wheels in motion.
Would there be an honest soul out there near MIR that I could ship the car to and then have it there for a week or 2 while transport routes the car back and comes to pick it up.
Long as no You Tube vids show up, I will be happy.
I have this horrific thought in my head that I will be surfing YouTube before the meet.

I can clear enough room in the garage for it to fit. Only problem is that I am 90 miles from the track but that shouldn't be too much of an issue if nothing else works out for you. My address is Mechanicsville, VA and the track is in Mechanicsville, MD...weird.
