Not sure why this event is causing so much contention. I entered my Daimler
last year (which is a nice driver and definitely not a trailer queen) and
won second in class. My only complaint was it was too hot. I thought they
had a great mixture of cars and everyone was friendly and eager to talk
cars. For a first time out it was a great event. If you don't want to pay
the entry fee (and if Hospice isn't on your list of charities) then
volunteer. I did this year and I can't wait.
