It is being held at Fort Adams State Park in Newport, RI which is a very nice location. There will be a sport compact category that you guys could win a trophy in. Registration is from 9-12 with the judging starting at 12:00 and trophies awarded around 2:00. Nice location, good food and a lot of cool cars. Hope some of you guys can make it!

Going to test drive one today - Anything I should look out for? Yes look out for cops and every cheesy Honda that wants to race. I have never received so much crap in one car as I did in the SRT. I was literally pulled over for the most ridiculous reasons in the SRT. I can fly by cops in the Vette (most of the time) and in the Jaguar XJS but the cops are looking for the fast and furous type and the SRT fits that description perfectly. Plus everybody wants to race you. Including an SVT Contour that was riding my but in Cranston one time. (shame, shame) That being said it is a very fast car with a number of mods out there for it. It was fun to drive but if you get one upgrade the suspension first! The handling leaves a lot to be desired. I just couldn't deal with the aggravation anymore of the attention it draws. Enjoy the test drive though. Now since none of you guys showed up to the show a Cougar took first place in the sport compact category. It was a nice day too. Hope you guys can make it next year!
