      Oh, I'll show up if invited to the show . . . .

      Of course I will "show" (barring death, incapacity, bankruptcy or an act of Divine providence).

      No, I will not have a new (or old) GT 500 (unless Ford/Shelby "comps" me one). Regular readers know that the "storebought" car I'll be taking up space with is a true daily-driven 2012 Mustang GT (a no option 300A package manual transmission GT).

      But even if I were to break that car during pre-check in testing, I'd run a back-up (several options here)

        Apparently not. Monday came and went without any contact from Ms. Schmitz at Hot Rod.

                    Look what Tulsa is promoting... Looks like Hot Rod expanded the car count...

                        The e-mail from Jenny I posted previously also said HRM had increased the number of slots.

                        But no news is most likely bad news. (The insiders probably already have "the call," even at 250 slots)

                          My advice if you live anywhere near Tulsa is to go ahead and show up on Sunday.

                            If we are talking about the same message you posted, she only said that they are filling slots for those that have dropped out...

                            I have wondered about this strategy...

                              I predict a 20% no show rate. That's right 50 pre registered cars drop out or no show would be my guess. Monday will start with 210 cars if there are walk ups.
