The first post has 30 some pics. Hope the link works.
Love how the cars range from 'wau, super clean street car' to 'zomg that's hideous'
How is the Hotel on Thursday nights now that Hong Norr is no longer there with their shenanigans? Might make it out there for a bit tomorrow.
Theblue subby outback wagon is my entry driven down from wisconsin......
Great pictures. I almost feel bad for any 'normal' people that are staying there.

'Normal' is a question of numbers, once challengers outnumber non-challengers, the 'normal' people will be the ones with race cars!
Also i wish i was there, the envy is real.
Thanks for posting the photos. I really wish I could be there.
i officially helped with the parking lot build lincoln. going to bed. these guys are a blast, really looking forward to tomorrow. popped a plug wire off the alavanche on the way back to my hotel. CEL started flashing and running like butt, limped back to hotel and saw the wire dangling sparking off the steering shaft. i'll fix in the morning before i head to the track, not burning my hands tonight.
Is that an omni/horizon? I have a secret lust for a 4 door with a turbo swap every since i rode in a friends.

What happened to the Hongs? I always thought of them as some kind of awesome redneck racing organization, like Ecurie Ecosse crossed with Lynard Skynard. But I've not heard them mentioned in a while.
Quiet Thursday night. Lots of veterans absent, not just the Hong's.
Good deal of new blood showing up which is nice to see. For as many as signed up to compete, the parking lot was eerily quiet. It's nuts that I'm headed up to the room at 12:30. Let's go people, push it up a little. Hard to stratify to folks how much better it is staying at the host hotel, it's just better.

I'm pretty sure that's the silver bullet omni.
An Alfa- looks like the same car from last year.
And who's Fiat 850 is that? That's a car I never expected seeing.
The A&M car makes me want to drop by the local university to see if they may be interested.
In reply to bluej:
Based on what one can barely see of the remaining car- I'd say that used to be a Miata.
Now it's one of those skeletal Miatas
Thanks, keep us posted. Tried to get there myself but I couldn't gather up the travel costs.

Yes. That's Stan's car. He's from Indiana and is a cool dude. I believe his name on here is stan_d.

I don't think it's an exocet. That one's bars are all straight and don't look to match an exocet:
Doesn't mean that it's not a miata based exo-car, though, of course.

He means a home brew version of this.
