I probably don't even need to ask, but is anyone planning to make the E-town event instead? (Just curious)

So i havent been keeping up with any company drama, is Turbotrix doing this the same day as the shootout on purpose? or is it just dumb luck they landed on the same days?

Intersting scheduling though. Sucks that several of the big guys aren't going to be there this year

Where is everyone staying? Best western is where my reservations are. We stayed at Econolodge last year, and spent most of the time at Best Western with the rest of the WMDSM crew anyway, so this year, it's Best Western. Plus I got an employee hookup through a buddies wife who works for them here in Holland. WOOT!

I probably won't be out of principle. If you think Dave is a complete asshole who will fuck you over any way possible, you probably shouldn't sink to his level. I am completely neutral with the whole shop drama as it is the dumbest thing ever, but I think this is bull shit for every normal person who enjoys dsms.

i've always been on the side of if a shop doesnt like him then give him the best insult in the car world possible, bring your badass shit and mop the floor at his event and make things interesting. seriously, tell me you wouldnt find it ironic for dave to give a plaque to the ams guys or the like at the shootout. dividing into cliques only hurts the scene as a whole in the end.
but back on track, i will be crashing in somebody's room or sleeping in my back seat at the shootout.

Sounds like the E-town event should be a good time, but it's 3X the drive, so I'm not making plans for it. I would like to the see the 4G rail cars run, though.

I would be very excited to go to it, but the drive, the date, and the motivation behind it (childish drama) have me not making any plans for it. If they put it on another day next year and have a list of cars like that, I will for sure consider heading out.

I agree with TJ, i would love to go to that event. But because they wanted to make a point to Dave, they have decided on the same date, and that is a poor decision. I just read all 9 pages on that thread (kinda bored at work today) and while i understand that we as spectators and even racers can make a decison on which to go to, its really not fair to anyone who would have seriously gone to both. Its just hurting both events.
I also have read that some of the racers going were "banned?" from daves event, and while that could be true, its stupid to hold another event the same day just "to give them another event" they could have easily planned it another day and went to it then.
Oh well, so is the majority of WMDSM still planning on going to the shootout? And is anyone going to be racing?

I completely forgot about this. Does anyone want to share a room or something?
