Id like to go if there wasn't going to be 10 million people there. Plus there is a chance for rain, but it is definatly always a good time.

I agree that last year wasn't to good. Wasn't the winner the mustang that flipped on it's side? I left before they announced the winner.

It's been getting more and more crowded year after year. I don' think I'm going to make it this year.

The overall winner was Brian Ambrosini. Not sure what car he was in.
