Check out this link, the MB meet they throw every year are pretty big in attendance. They usually like to keep it MB only, but "others" do show up.

Okay guys, I just got a response back.....

The event will be private to all LSx guys first until November 1st. After November 1st, they will review the counts and decide whether to allow other cars in or not.

Here is a direct quote from the OP who started the thread and leading the event organization:

"Any Non-LSx vehicles are going to have to wait until after November 1st. At that time we will assess the vehicle count and may add some of these other vehicles. This event was born from and exists on LSx based websites.

Honestly I wouldn't care who comes (I'm making no money on this and my only interest is to NOT **** anyone off), but it is not fair to supporting vendors and tuners to give away so many spots to cars these guys don't support."

Here is a link to his reply:

"This event is going to require that cars be on a DOT tire and be a "street car" This means it should have working lights and DMV registration, also it should be a late model GM LT1 or LSx based. I have been inundated with calls from folks wanting to bring out everything under the sun. Hopefully this clears up the criteria for this event. If you have already signed up and have questions regarding this feel free to PM or e-mail at rexphinneycpa@gmail.com "

Since my Benz is not LS equipped I dont think we can attend

I just got a confirmation e-mail that non-LSx cars can NOT join. They may open a few spots after November 1st, but for now, they're sending all non-LSx to Fontana.

We will hold a private track rental at Famoso on December 13th NOT 15th. It will probably be only 10 cars to try to keep the cost down. We have 5 that are confirmed, and we're hoping 5 more join us.....
