I've paid in full! Hopefully there will be more forum participation this year. Last year John, Steve, and myself attended and had a great time!

I'm at the 1:00 mark, lined up against a Z06 with about ~600 HP. I lost horribly, as expected LOL

3:45 is Anthony, leading a beautiful Camaro. You can see Anthony getting the jump on him at the 4:33 mark

At the 5:20 mark, it shows me and Anthony in one of the closest races all day. We actually shook the timing photo-eye, I think they had to recalibrate it after our run

Thanks man! Nowhere near as fast as Anthony's beast, but it holds its own.

Here's a video of me racing a BMW M6 Cabriolet. Gorgeous car with a heavenly exhaust note. Got the launch on him, and never looked back.

OK guys only a week away from this event. Anthony, John and Steve are you all running on Saturday? Easley 15 and I are planning to drive down and lend a little Crossfire (you too Steve) support and enjoy the day. Will we be able to park with yall and what time should we plan on getting there? I will give Howard Carter, Don Barbie and a few other members a call to see if they would like to join us. Any one who would like to come along would be welcome, maybe we could take the opportunity to make it a gtg.

Are there food options at the site and are coolers welcome? This could be a lot of fun.

If Easley and BigKid are going to watch I might as well drive down as well.

Good news Nick. I will be talking to Howard and Don Barbie and a few others about comming. Trying to get a little GTG going. John is going to get us some info about when to arrive and food and drink options at the track.

I sent an email to the event's main organizer and included your original text... I specifically asked about the cooler allowances and/or concessions.

Entry fee for spectators is $15, cash only.

Last year, there were some hotties directing everyone where to park based on your participation level (driver/spectator). I think the spectators take a road off to the right, which puts you off to the southern side of the runway.

Will advise everyone once I have a response from Blake.

Cheers,

Hotties directing traffic? In swimsuits, right?

Anyway, I am flying to Michigan on Sunday - but it LOOKS like Saturday will work for me... I should be able to make it as a spectator

Hardly, but they were pretty cute and smelled amazing. Then again, I roomed with Steve that previous night so a prison b!tch would be gorgeous the morning after

I just got an answer back from Blake, please see below:

Hey John!

You are correct your buddies will need to park in a separate area near the beginning of the runway in the grass. They can bring coolers but this year we have really ramped up the food vendors and we will have 3 on-site both days. In regards to your wife, yes, you will just pay her admission at the gate!

Take care and see you very soon!!

I would recommend just bringing some cash, instead of having to lug around a big cooler. Shade will be an issue so bring sunscreen if you're sensitive to UV.

All the best,

Thats great Mark, that makes 4 Crossfires so far. It will be a big bummer if we can't hang out with John, Anthony and Steve.

I was telling Nick, there shouldn't be any reason why not. Most of the spectators had to park on the right side, BUT there were spectators crossing over to the "fun" side all day.

As long as you don't walk in front of one of those Alpha GT-Rs, you're good.

Looks & "sounds" like a great event! Especially like the variety of performance cars in attendance. Better than going to a car show where everything sits still! We've got another commitment for this weekend. Otherwise, would plan to attend. Looking forward to some great pics & videos.

Later,
