This event is going to be a lot of fun and very competitive. The experience level is going to be the best so far. The defending champ, Mark Stielow, will be on his game. Kyle Tucker is really getting fast. Danny Popp is going to be very tough to beat, along with other very experienced drivers that I have been around for many years: Dan Livezey, Mary Pozzi, and my pick if is not me

, Mike Maier in his killer 66 Mustang. Adding an 850 HP Roush Yates engine along with his suspension upgrades plus his incredible talent will make him one to watch. He and I are not on the list that was just published, but we will be there. I will be driving for Wilwood and Mike for K&N. I am looking forward to seeing everyone there.

So much fun to watch you drive Brian! The others are fun as well... I hope Jimi "makes me" help on the timing at auto X again...

Kind of off-topic, but is anyone driving to the event from NorCal/SoCal? I'll be driving from San Francisco and thought it would be cool to join up with anyone that may be driving out there.

Sorry for the lame question, but what is The Detroit Speed and Engineering Road Rally?

And where does that fit in if SEMA is until Friday and Saturday is OUSCI?

Also, good question, is Charley going to be on that list?

Thanks in Advance,
John

Haven't heard of that, but they have in the past had the cars caravan from SEMA on Friday afternoon out to Pahrump, with photo ops mixed in. That would be my guess.

Thanks, Jody. That's what I figure it is, but thought I'd ask since it is in Mark's OP.

Anyone's car have room for two from SEMA to Pahrump?
