It sounds good, I just fear the digestive revenge potential with the synthetic ladel'd on oil cheese.

Just a word to wise for everyone attending this event. Motivating down main highways on a holiday weekend is ill advised. The last (and only) time I attended this event a whole group was pulled over on I-95... BE VERY CAREFUL!!!

Making me re-think this a bit. If I do go, I may hang back and just cruise to avoid drama or potentially getting hit by a tard in a car they can not control.

When you came in your Exige, it was an all makes and models event. The last two years have been "Euro" based and only one car was pulled over each year. I guess in 2010 when you brought your Boxster out to Rockville, you didn't come up with us to Philly....?

There is always going to be a group of people that want to race up there and they will naturally venture to the front of the pack. If you hang back you will still cruise with a group of cars but be around a "less dangerous" group.

No need to be defendsive about the event, just pointing out the obvious. Hopefully Tony Lukes has their act together. Their service has sucked in the past!!!

Not being defensive...just asking a question. I couldn't remember if you came with us in 2010 or not, and I was just saying that in the past two years only one person was pulled over each year. Since we've scaled it back on the attendance I think it has been a little more civilized.

Nico (GTR) was thinking about coming and I invited my friend with a turbo S2000. I'm positive there will be a few non euros, and nobody's gonna tell an NSX not to come
