MIR Import Vs. Domestics World Cup Finals at MIR in November, best even of the year IMO.

I'll also probably go to the DSM Shootout at Norwalk again.

It's not official yet but if EC2K12 happens I'll go.

Moon township vfd show and Kiski area high school.

Unfortunately my job sometimes tells me to "miss" some of my "can't miss" events but mine ...

NMRA Milan ... All Ford event just outside Detroit. Pretty neat who shows up to hang out, and it's a different feel with the two day event.

Any UMTR race ... A pile of great guys, all stick shift drag racing, and most of them want to put on a show (high RPM clutch drops, wheelie bars up to the bumper, etc). Great mix of cars from old muscle cars up through late model stuff.

Anywhere I can get an annual fix for nitro. One day at Norwalk or Maple Grove for the NHRA usually fills that.

I used to have Carlisle Fords, one of the Columbus swaps, and a few others on the list but the swaps have all got pretty weak and I bore easily at car shows.

3. Random Local Autocrosses
4. Get my wife to do a track day in her GTI
5. Test and tune, probably PRP in the '64

Chad... do they still have the drags Friday night at 1/4 Aces (formerly South Mtn.) associated with the weekend of Ford Carlisle? I haven't been to Ford Carlisle for a couple of years, but these drags were always some of the best.
