HAHA,,same here,,,all the cleaning stuff and tools i may need are ready to go! Oh,, and i have my hotel room beer supply ready too, but everything else will have to wait,,,rims to buff, glass to clean, headrests to put back on (Thanx Grant, they look freakin awesome!!) and all the final stuff comes first.

Cutting some FRP's to fit, I'll be wearin the vette logo there, but just this year, and they at least hide that mess up there.


Man I cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone using anything creative to protect the car on the drive there?
I was planning on trailering mine but that may not work out, so I do have a bra but I just hate those things.

The award show starts at 4:30 on Sunday and curious how long it lasts? I have a 2.5 hour drive home and wondered how long it lasts? If it rains do they still judge and the show goes on? Not sure if I'm going on Sat. or both Sat. and Sunday? With a convertible I figure it would be hard to place or win anything? Never stayed for the award show in the past and just went on Sat. and to Tipp City. Its showing 40% chance of rain on Sat. now.

It lasts about 45 min to an hour.
It rained last year on sunday and they did not judge "MM" till later in the afternoon--not 11 like they tell you. Every year is different.

Yeah they "start" judging at 11, but they may not get around to you till 2-3 hours later.

Cleaning the interior and packing up the car tonight.

I'll see everyone there.

I'll be at Quaker Steak & Lube Friday night, Drag Racing Saturday Morning, Car Show Saturday Afternoon, Tipp City Saturday night, and back at the car show Sunday morning.

I'm driving a Red 98' WS6 Formula, Say hi If you see me.
