Also, I am a member of College Park Tuning. The meet is 100% locked down this year. I drive an 86 944, would be great to see some more Porsche people there.

 

I'm out.

 

After last year's fiasco, I won't be attending.

 

Well go on, tell us what happened last year.

 

Cliff notes: Meet was cancelled several days prior to the event. I feel bad for all the sponsors :\

lol!

 

Looking forward to it!

 

guess I'll have to wear my granny panties rather than my thong.....

Interested for sure, hopefully things are a bit better organized this time around

 

Hope all goes well this year.

 

Glad it's going to happen again this year. I was just talking to chrcowan about this recently.

 

The meet is much better planned this year than last everything is locked down. Barring the apocalypse it will happen. Last year we messed up.

 

Organization better be top notch to pull this off. I know from doing autox events there for the past few years and the BMW ChapterFest a couple years ago that that lot and entrance is not good for handling a lot of traffic. I have a feeling with people doing caravans to this event and the 1000+ car expected, the intersection and entrace leading in will be a parking lot on its own. The stadium lot is also akward shaped and probably not great for high traffic. If it fills, people will have to park in the overflow lot which is dirt/gravel. If it rains before or during the event, it'll be a mess and I'm sure people with dumped rides or $100k+ cars won't be happy about that lol. Gotta remember this lot was meant for a minor league baseball team with people parking and walking in the stadium. Not parking and having thousands of people hanging around blocking traffic.

I'm hoping for the best but from my experiences there, it may be rough. For the first time ever I don't have a race that day so I may try to make it so I hope it works out.

 

I may have a carshow conflict w events, I think this is the same day as Britian on the green... Large British car show in alexandria VA... If so I am out.

 

You bring up a good point. Except a more realistic number in terms of cars is 3,000-4,000 (as I also said on MDSS). It's going to be a total cluster****.
