Ok, I'm not sure if this info is out there yet so here it is. So we know the shootout is on Sunday, August 15th. There is NO import event on the Saturday before the shootout this year.

So, that means this Saturday will be kind of slow. I heard that the plan is on Saturday there will be the DSM car show and dyno competition (wouldn't it be nice if someone brought a 420a eclipse that put down some high HP numbers???), but that's not confirmed.

I'm so far planning on leaving friday morning and arriving that late afternoon, because that would mean all night friday and all day saturday you can relax and just hang out. I know some people will still try to arrive saturday though, because it's hard to go when there isn't much to do that day. But, so far, I'll see you that friday/saturday.
