Do they still have the "Hands On" contest? That was the only interesting thing I saw the last time I went which was a few years ago.

I think volunteers. The still need people and u get in for free. They need 2-3 people to watch the cars and talk to people. Sounds like they have about 20 cars. Everything from formula V to IT

If you mean that contest where you had to keep your hand on a car and the last man/woman standing won the vehicle...I have no idea. I don't recall this last year.

Mine is kind of in pieces at the moment. Plus it is not aesthetically pleasing with its various dents, etc.

Cool, whatever time/place is good for you guys. I've got your number and Jeffie's [and Barn and Slim if they go].
I'm probably parking at a Metro stop BTW.

Greenbelt used to be my go to spot until someone showed me they wanted my Nav system more than I did. Now I usually go to CP. Last year, me and Barn met up at the convention center and then we [Barn, Ethan and me] got food in Chinatown.
If you can reach the Greenline or a changeover stop that'd be good too. We can talk further in PM or text about good meetup spots for whomever's going.

No prob, doesn't look like there's much interest in this one this year. I'm guessing the weather + Snooki =

Yeah it is no longer.

It was fun to check out the people in the contest by about the 4th or 5th day. They were no longer smiling and looked like homeless bums!
