Lots of people get together for dinner then come back to the hotel for some fun.
Or, as mentioned. The possibility of a live band at a bar in town. (Tentative at this time.pre reg`d bash participants would enjoy free cover)

Hell yeah! Just spoke to GM. They have said they are bringing a few car to the JCO bash. TheCamaro SS is one of them. They are trying to get the MBRP widebody Cobalt SS aswell. They will be giving some i-pods again, and hope to have a few raffle prizes.

Pre reg closes the end of this week.
Plus the hotel rooms have gone public. So call and book yours before its to late.

Permafried-

Must say your car's looking good as always, and nice to see that GM showed up with as much support as they did this year . Was a fun day, I got enough sun to last me a few weeks but still have yet to run my TC down the strip. I watched a number of cars go and decided with the amount of wheel hop I was seeing it wasn't really worth my time to bother. If the SCs were hitting 15.0 -> 15.5, I wouldn't expect more than a 14.6 or 14.5 out of my TC unless I got lucky and hit maybe the 14.1s. If I'm going to abuse my car I'd rather have a solid track prep to run on and aim for those mid to high 13s that some TC owners have been seeing instead of putting my car through all that shock only to run garbage times at the end of the day .

Glad you came out man. Hope you had a good day.
We need to get more GM other out to this event,so spread the word for next year.
