It's an invitational event meaning teams cannot just enter, they have to either be invited or qualify. Rumor has it the new Cusco/Tomei widebody STI will be there hoping to hand all the US tuning companies their *** like HKS did last year. I also hear Spoon has a turbo charged NSX and Mines will be out with their new R35.

Expect the usual suspects from the US such as,

Crawford
Factor X
C-West/BC
Speed Element
Harmon Motive
Evassive
World Performance (Chris Rado)

Etc Etc

So will it open to the public as well or only for a certain number of media and spectators? Considering that this event will be held on a Wednesday, because I would totally love to drive my car down there and show some support for our Local Team

Some info as to whom it is open to would be much appreciated

My understanding is anyone can go and watch, that's how it was last year and my quick look over of the email I received doesn't say people are not welcome to watch so I would say your all good.

Mike don't forget to journal all this prep in your "spare time". Looking forward to a good read and hoping for good results!

Absolutely!

I have to warn you that every person from Harman has spent a day riding with me/my kids and they have all left bruised and broken..... We'll have to do a GST Vs. Harman motocross day!

Here's a shot of my "little" guy (14yr old that you met) on the green bike doing a 60+" step-up with a look-back thrown in for good measure. This was the 1st weekend that he has stepped up to a full size bike from his Mini's and Supermini's. Kinda makes the inside of a racecar seem safe and comfy....
