Hell yah! See-ya there, Just not going super early. Rain and the MT Drag Radials should be a "trip". Oh and the Lodge is flooded, so going to go down 275 to 96 to 75/375 to Jefferson.
Had a great time meeting all the cool Motown V owners,looking forward to playing in the mud tomorrow. I'm think'n we do some drifting in the coral tomorrow
Can't say enough about my Cadillac experience at the Detroit GP. My Dad worked 33yrs. for Cadillac (Hamtramck Poll-town Plant) now retired was overwhelmed with the level of hospitality that was provided to us. Looking forward to tomorrow & if you are in Detroit get you're a#% down here & enjoy a world class event put on buy a world class crew. Cheers! & yes can't wait to drive another 36hrs from Texas/back next year.
I got to drive a parade lap in company car! The Marketing Manager for V comes up to me in the suite and says "Paul would you and Molly like to do a parade lap?" YES I said immediately. Didn't know if I was driving or riding or what. Didn't matter. So they give me the fob to a BD sedan with 600 miles on it, a Cadillac guy and his wife hopped in the back and we hit it. Gizmo in front of me says he hit 100 but I only got to 85 or so. I need practice in an automatic I guess. Wait. No I don't.

I gotta stop working so much and pay attention to the forum! I bought my 3 day super ticket the first day they were available. Having a great time but know it could be better with the crew. I did run into GizmoQ and a few other forum members today.
Wish I could have made it down there. Would love to see a couple photos of the corral if anyone has them. Will be watching on TV for sure. Enjoy and hopefully they will be back next year!
They were actually giving those away to everyone who filled out information at the Cadillac booth, so there were thousands of people who had them. THey were also giving Chevy ones away at the Chevy booth.
What an awesome weekend! Cadillac did a first rate job on this event; it helped that O'Connell won both of the V Series Challenge races. The most excitement i had was on the way on to the island Sunday morning. I decided to open it up a bit coming across the bridge (not my smartest decision) and ended up having a short conversation with a state trooper. Luckily he was kind enough to give me a verbal warning.
Yeah, great weekend.
Big thanks to Jim Kraemer and everyone else that put together a great weekend. Anyone who second guessed coming needs to clear the calendar for next year. This is the V event to be at.
Also for a dollars and cents comparison. Parking else where is $5 plus $10 a person for the shuttle each day. Throw in food and beverage cost, this ends of barely costing more and the convenience of the parking location and having a tent to relax and get out of the sun is great. Plus everyone working the event was top notch.
Absolutely FIRST CLASS WEEKEND. Great to meet new Guys and Gals (Molly-BD stick-Vagon) and see local peeps as well. I actually got to small talk with Johhny "O" for a few minutes. What a SUPER NICE guy and funny as hell; oh and he can drive a bit also!
HUGE THANKS to John Kraemer and his crew. The promotional staff=(Not hard on the eyes either, wink-nod!) were terrific. Andiamos staff/food was great as well.
They were more than just pretty faces too. We talked quite a bit with Jenna; the tall blond with the mirrored shades and impossibly white teeth; and she really knew her stuff about cars and racing.
Cadillac hasn't published their flyers for the V Corral, yet, that I know of. D3 will probably be the folks who get it first; but the following is the Mid-Ohio website:
Yeah, great weekend.

Thanks for the reminder on how much I over paid for that event! I will attend next years race so please hit me up when the corral is available.
I bought my tickets before they came available to the public.
