wish I was closer to you..I love the SEMA thrash, I think I slept all the way to Vegas, definitely a good idea to have someone else help with the driving

Yea, the cars are invited to run. The only car from last year that's allowed to run this year is last year's winner. Some of the cars from last year will run as exhibition cars.

You can go as a spectator though.. it's fun to watch.

I hate autocross....

Greg from Aus

Yea, can't wait... my car should be at David Pozzi's shop for a teardown and recheck of everything. We will most likely be upgrading the brakes and revalving the shocks as well.

My condo is booked for the whole week and I'm getting lots of autocross practice. We are going to need a bit of luck and a lot of skill to take on Jackass. eek!

Should be a blast.

Steve what brakes are you thinking of? Also how far from Vegas is the Optima Chalenge, I will have a hire car, hopefully not to far, I am dying to see Penny in the flesh.

It's an hour drive over the hump to Pahrump. I'm running my car there Saturday.

Funny.. I love autocross.. :)

I think it's because you don't need killer brakes and blown engines.. :lol:

The only thing I hope about the Optima deal is that it's a real battle to the end.. close competitions are the best.

If anyone is interested, Im thinking about setting up a little get together at one of the smaller hotel bars to meet people I chat with by email and forums all the time.

If you are attending the show PM me and we can work on a time. Unfortunately most of my dinner time activity time is alerady scheduled so it would be after dinner one eve.
thanks Lenny:lol:

Like an idiot, I booked my return flight for Saturday afternoon without even thinking. I'm going to just get another flight back at a later time. For those of you that went last year, do you have any idea of what time the Optima event will be over?

I'm thinking of just taking a red-eye home late Saturday/early Sunday. That should work right?

The Optima event was over around 5pm last year.

I never saw anyone checking badges at the outdoor part. The outside is cool but nowhere near as cool as the indoor.

Yes Wayne, you can see everything that is out front...it's a pretty good car show itself...and you can get into the main halls....just not into the BIG rooms where all the vendors are.

I showed my in-laws around the public areas one year and they had a great time! Actually Penny and II Much have both been out doors as well as many other cars you would know...they aren't all inside!

Anyone hooking up for SEMA? I heard about a Pro-T.com gathering, you guys planning on anything? I would love to get together with anyone from the site. We will have a stunning '69 in the Custom Auto Sound booth.....

Also should be filming a different '69 at the 'Strip for Speed Channel's "Pass Time" :unibrow:

AND racing our dragster both weekends during Nationals & Divisionals!
