Rick and I were talking about this the other night, so I figured I might as well post it up here for any interested locals. This year’s AKA Summer Rally (AKA Rally '07) is coming up. It takes place from July 16th to July 22nd and goes from Salt Lake City to Atlantic City this year. The cost is $3250 per car (2 people, each additional person is extra) this year ($250 increase) which covers entry fee, hotels, events, breakfast and dinner, entry to the parties, etc. There will also be VIP entry to a major race event this year, last year was the Formula One USGP @ Indy, and a visit to the Salt Flats for some High Speed fun ;). I’ll be going in my 5 series most likely with my codriver and fellow BlownEuroz member PT (turbojettaMK4 on here), I know for a fact there are a few 911’s (GT3 and RUF Turbo’s), a ton of STI’s, M3’s, Vette’s, 350z’s, Skyline’s, so on and so forth signed up. Any way you cut it (amazing cars or not) this is one of the best events I do all year, great people and a great time. I’ve made lifelong friends through AKA and continue to do every AKA event Chris Conner can come up with. I cannot say enough good things about this. I’m an AKA '05, '06 and '06.5 vet.

$3250 + Gas + Lunch + Drinks + Tickets + Gambling Yeah it adds up. Thankfully you’re splitting it two ways, or 3 if you add a 3rd person (+$900 IIRC) ---
