Gates open at 9:00am. Are you going to enter your car or just go?
If any of us are entering we should get there 9-9:30ish
If we are all just going we can meet at say 10ish or 11.
If my paint job is done by then I will enter. I'll know by April 5th or so.

Yea i prefer to do my own detailing as well, but I am still learning, so something is always just a touch off, either it has small water spots, or little bits of wax in the body lines. They should make a class for this stuff
