Mid-Ohio (about an hour and half down RT.71 south). Great sports car track.

You're right, there were very few German cars there.
It seemed like every year Corvette was represented, same goes for the Mustang. But there were no "newer" Chrysler products on the course. Vipers, Challengers, or Prowlers. So I guess I should feel very honored (and I do) that I was invited.
This is only the 2nd. year for the show, so I'm sure as time goes on, they will get things better sorted out, and even more cars will attend.
Another thing, it's an awards free zone, just display only. So there should be no "Ego's" they need to contend with.
Even though none of the owners of the older Mopars (where I was parked) acknowledged my car, It did get a pretty fair amount of attention from the crowds walking by. I received a lot of nice comments on my hood, and even though I rebadged my car, everybody new it was a Crossfire.
