Chris, I agree entirely, especially as there seem to be quite a few sponsors. Why it couldn't be free to private entries is beyond me. There only seems to be one at the moment which is a middle ground EV (Prius). I guess like the Cenex show at Millbrook, they are not interested in the private entry....

I went last year and found it pretty boring. It is really a junket for VIP's and is aimed at commercial interests only hence the weekday venue.
