I just repainted the front and rear bumpers. They also put on a spray on clearbra that I'll be testing in the next few months since I drive 100 miles a day... to and from work. I felt it on the owners car, it has a rubbery feel to it but there's no clearbra line, and it protects my entire bumper even the inside of the 3 openings.

Doesn't have to be 2pm just a little earlier than 4:30p, let us know because I rather roll in with all of us together! BTW: I feel better knowing I'm not the only one who drives 70miles or more a day to and from work. Nice engine bay by the way.

You don't need to worry about that fuel BS from what I recall.

I recall having about half a tank for the DUB show two years ago at the LA convention center and they made me drive around until I was below 1/8 of a tank. The email from HIN reinterates that 1/8 of a tank. Mel I forwarded you the email.

+2, Any indoor event is very strict with 1/8 of gas in your tank. Last time back in 2002 when I entered at this event with half tank, they turn me down and made me burn the fuel on the freeway

So just be on the safe side Mel.

Good luck Mike, Mel, and Daniel (and everyone else entering). I'll try and make it on Saturday... Let me know if you have a booth number (so it's easier to find you).
