OHHHHHH its that one ive been seeing advertisments for this event for a while.

I haven't seen a single add for it yet...at least not on TV....a friend found a full page add in IMPORT TUNER magazine the other day and taped it to my monitor at work.... :{D

i might go to but its to early to tell yet. i'll keep you posted. i'm trying to see if i can get a big dallas following to go. plus i really need to run my car. i want to get some real time slips:D

i saw ads for it at a couple of performance shops around town...since november(i think)

Well that explains that.....out here in the boonies we don't have any performance shops that cater to OUR needs....now if you are a mud racer that is another story....lol. The only performance shops I get to visit on any kind of a regular basis are On-Line.

ANd the P5 is the Official car of the show.

yup "the official car":D
