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.

Uber and I will be rolling in with the Chicago group methinks, so more than likely Friday sometime as well. How's about we all roll up to the lake and have a big ass 2GNT BBQ? That would rawk imo. Swimming (if the lake is decent), drinking, ribs, drinking, burgers, drinking, brats, drinking, boozing, drinking, getting shit-faced, drinking, puking, drinking, etc.. It could be really cool. LOL I'd be willing to throw my little Weber grill in the hatch for the trip if there weren't BBQ already set up in a beach front park or something.
Just seems like a laid back way to hang out and get to know each other while drinking and staying cool.

we could call up the Norwalk Inn and see if we could use the large clearing across from them behind Burger King IMO. Be perfect for a lil get together and all the cool people have their hotel rooms right there

I think its pretty cool that there is nothing going on at the track on Saturday..Last year, the majority of 2gnt group was broken up,and people did their own thing..I know people are talking about going to Cedar Point, but come on..this even only happens once a year, and for a lot of us 2gnt'ers at one spot, taking advantage of the saturday will be awsome..Spending the day hanging out, drinkin da beers, messin with the cars, and shootin the shit, sounds like more fun to me, than an amusement park
