Yeah, come on people! I know I have had an absolute blast the last 2 years. Hanging out with some of the greatest people on this forum (that most of us only get to see once, or maybe twice a year) over food, hotel parking lot beers/drinks (especially with the SRT Engineers), racing/showing...is what it's all about. I wish I could have attended the first two years, cause I know I don't ever want to pass on this weekend.

If you can make it, get signed up, and start looking forward to an awesome weekend!!!

[Fargo59]

i still need to register, but yeah im in of course

10 people? Thats all? How can 100+ show up for a parking lot meet but we can only muster 10 for the best Mopar event on the east coast?

The racing alone on Saturday would be worth the drive.
