FM3 is Jimi and Walley who run Optima events, Power Tour and lots of others. By far the best most organized well run events out there. The hotels will be finalized in a couple days.

Did anyone look at the give aways? WOW!!!

Thanks Smitty, appreciate the compliments. We are currently working on hotels and routes - hotels will likely be done by the end of next week, or shortly after Christmas. trying to reach people and plan during the holidays can be a bit of a challenge, but we wanted to get this event on everyone's calendar as we know there are a lot of choices out there.

Jimi, can we haul trailers with out STREETCARS? How cool would that be ? Doing some event planning this weekend, we'd love to do this. It's perfect for what we love to do with our cars and our friends!

I wish there was a west coast version of this!

Sounds like an awesome time.

Is there any way to register for just 1 or 2 days of auto-x? I see that you can register for single days of the cruise but don't see a way to do that for auto-x.

How about this: If you PULL a trailer with your hotrod, you get a second deducted from your autocross time. If you HAUL your car on the tour, you get a second ADDED to your time!
In addition...every decal on your car adds a tenth to your time.

And just to make it even more fun...how about a Lemans start? [might not be a great idea in my case ]
