There will be no favoritism by marque, but please remember the show is very informal and for fun. The guys staffing the show are volunteers driving out to help make it a fun day for the participants and if you have a concern about the show or judging, please take it to me, not them. This is supposed to be a fun day to enjoy enthusiast cars in their natural habitat.

As for location, check out http://www.motorsportranch.com/contact_info.cfm and also plug 76035 into your navigation system. The main entrance is at the Texaco station on the south side of 377 about a half mile past (southwest of) the only stoplight in town, the intersection of HWY 377 & 171.

 

Apex instructors, Hooters girls and latex gloves. Quite a combination.

We all had a blast and thanks to RUF, first and foremost, Hooters, all the Apex instructors and team and the participants and spectators. I do think it was the best yet and look for even better next time.
