I'm not all that interested in the event (yep - it's boring as hell to watch) but I think it will be fun for the participants. You don't have a lot of opportunities in a street environment to really wind up a car with even 500hp, so I see the draw.

I can understand, but I think it would be cool to have a crowd there, just not an insanely big crowd. You could potentially get a ton of participants to join in this since the power levels aren't near those of TI. At $20 I would pay to come, and I'm sure other people with a legit interest of watching would pay that, and hopefully it would help to keep the spectator crowd at a decent size.

Thats why its ivite only. Thats also why the big event is def private. Most people with 600+hp cars can afford 300$ to go. The goal isnt to have a crowd. The goal is to invite a few select people and give them a chance to stretch the legs of their cars.

I guess I figured this was geared more towards the normal people zone of gearheadsville. Guess not. Maybe one day.
So I wonder if the trophies will actually be given out this time?

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.
