Stay on Nelson ALL DAY LONG. **1. packing up is the biggest headache and _time waster_** 2. fabi isn’t that great compared to nelson, less turns. 3. nelson has some elevation to it. 3rd gear drifts are possible at the back end 4. bleachers and shed where we can bbq under shelter all day long and chill NELSON ALL THE WAY! I really didn’t want to split and go to Fabi. ---

It’s better if it rains, at least most people will look like they are actually drifting and there will be a lot less run offs. 🙂 ---

As a grip guy… I want to change it up half way through the day… I’m not too keen on driving 3 hours to the track to get stuck driving Fabi all damn day. Even though I’ll have to wait an hour for them to clean up the mess you guys make of nelson… lol Keep the rubber on the pavement boys! ---

i regret to inform you that i will not be coming to said event at shannonville on the day of april 26th 2008. I am unprepared for such event and will try to make the next one. My lack of WIN is disturbing. EPIC FAIL! P.S: S 1 D C ( 4 ) L I F E ---

This event is happening rain or shine. The only reason that it will be cancelled is if and only if Shannonville cancels it. Unless it’s huge downpour and it has been raining for days (ie D-ops VIP 2006) then the day will go on for sure! But if it does get canceled, we’ll refund or credit you for another date later in the year. Another factor in favour of not switching, is the fact the road going to Fabi side is pretty narrow and getting 70+ cars to switch sides will be PITA. But it’s up to you guys. Wayne ---
