Woo hoo! Thanks for the special mention, this website rocks! We are very much looking forward to this event and hope to put on a killer show. I come from a road racing background and absolutely love road courses!!! Stop by the Cartune trailer while your out and check out the custom built 240SX driven by Eric Threats and the only Skyline competing in Formula D, driven by your truly.

Holy Crud!

Look at the size of that list! Holy moley! I just hope there won't be any time issues. I say... first round of eliminations is decided by... COINTOSS! Then followed by "rock, paper, scissors". Then directly into a "red light, green light" elimination. Next a spirited, "heads up 7-up". Finally followed by, "duck duck goose" That should take us right into finals. Are you with me?

To all that will attend, PLEASE instead of shouting one more time because your unedjucated eyes cannot judge the competition allow the judges to make their own judgments. If you all want to shout something it should be "Viper verses Viper" loudly in unison.

wish i could go, which means we better have some good videos of this event and that would be awsome to see viper verses viper, that could be the whole competition right there. Anyway, hope the people that are going have fun, and get some good pics and videos

If there is a tie the winner can be decided by a sudden death match of hot hands.
