If anybody is looking for a group to caravan with? We are leaving Friday morning if anybody wants to tag along.
I will stop at the park and ride in Germantown on Mequon road just off 41/45 at 10am sharp. I think this would be the easiest way to meet up.
Message me here if you are interested, or just show up at 10am on Friday morning.

PS...my car has wipers. They were a factory option! It must mean it can be driven in the rain..lol

That black lambo was pretty badass. Looking at the plate, I'm guessing it's the owner of mt olympus? I did see all the tire marks yesterday morning in front of mt olympus. I'm really surprised the cops weren't sitting there to prevent it. Haha

There were a few periods where I didnt even see any cops. No tickets here, didnt do anything to get one...lol. Very good turn out this year, busiest ive ever seen it I think. And my car is still together.

Not staying at the Diamond again, I think friday night rivaled the LA riots. Too many punk kids and thugs, smashed bottles, **** thrown off balcony, People pissing off balcony onto cars, stuff smashed in street, a UFC fight out back they guy tapped out and was done - surprising, high school boy/girl drama everywhere and a drug fest going on outside our hotel door. It was really entertaining to listen to and stuff but I barely got 2 hours of sleep. Twice we had people trying to get in to hide from the cops. The hotel walls were like paper mache so you could hear EVERYTHING.

Will be interesting to see what happens with the burnouts next year. All I heard was bitching from people that it was $20 to park, and $20 per person to attend. No thanks.

I did hear that they dropped the parking fee later in the day. Gee. Thanks.

They should be paying the people doing burnouts instead of charging them.
Ive never gone out there....heard it was a huge cluster and a traffic jam nightmare to park....in a feild.

I agree. 2 years ago was awesome. Free parking along the road, free to get in, beer for sale, and tons of people (including eye candy).

Last year was the same, except the parking was a ******* dusty mess, basically in a field...and they charged for it. also I saw a handful of overheated cars in the mile+ long gridlock on hwy 12 waiting to park.

Didn't even bother this year, and glad we didn't.

PS, you should see about getting a room at the Flamingo next year. 3 minute walk into the show, and the ones causing the biggest problem at our place was my group. lol
