I really thought more of you SRT8 guys would respond. The chargers are pretty amped. James in the Jeep did pretty well last time. I think you will have a really good time throwing the jeep around the track. I know I was impressed watching James.

Yup, too bad we're a nation apart, or I'd be there.

Is this event sanctioned by anyone? How are you guys handling liability insurance?

Pulling something like that off out here, without the insurance backing of one of the major autocross or track clubs, or the SCCA, would be very difficult.

Insurance purchased from the track itself.

As far as bringing it to NYC, you think your guys have more muchismo than the west coast guys? The Cali guys are pretty quiet. Maybe they are just all talk no action. At least one of them represents well.

Anyway, the event has a website now. www.norcalautox.com

Sept 2nd is the next event.
