Starts right out of my backyard .
Autobahn North is a blast ! Turn one and Six :unibrow: :unibrow:

Can't wait for this. Sounds awesome!

I’m in! I hope we take highway 59 for road rally. I’m not seeing too many E85Gas Stations in that area and I could be in trouble. Time to invest in fuel jugs:D

I'll be there with the Camaro & maybe some other surprises!:unibrow:

Are people and cars that ren't running in the event welcome on friday to come and hang out? I have a convertible without a rollbar so i'm out, but I would like to drive up and hang out for awhile. Also will saturday be open to the public or is it a competitors only event?

You are welcome to come out to Heidts on Friday and hang out, we are still ironing out the details regarding spectators for Saturday. I will know more this Friday afternoon

That sounds great, can you let me know I would love to hang out on saturday as well.
