Well.....Hmmmmm....We may just have to do that. Ill contact Chris...you should drop him an email with the offer as well. Some of the guys may need a little prep as well...you know oil and fluids and stupid stuff like that.

VDC definately off. The surface is too slippery to accelerate cleanly with the VDC on....at when driving a nasty twin turbo stroked 350Z.

Brent hosed off the car at a self serve carwash, and was on his way. But I would expect to have some wear and tear from an event like this. If you are in love with your car, and want it be prestine....don't try this type of event.

I may consider making the journey and enjoying watching you all terrorize the salt flats.

i do love the condition of my car but i love the experience of these events more (hot rods (driven = rock chipped) > showcars = not driven)

i'd drive to a show rather than trailer it there

thx for the advice

It's a lot of fun no doubt, jsut be sure to bring LOADS of sunblock and water...
I am sure we will be partying it up the night before somewhere and the night after the run too.
