    What to do?

    I feel ridiculous even asking, but tomorrow I've got a plethora of motorsports related options, and quite frankly, I'm torn as to what to do.

    Weather prediction: Rain up north throughout the morning is likely. May or may not cover Long Island, but the Six Flags area could be wet in the morning. My local area will likely be dry by the afternoon.

    Option 1(Long Island): Out of region (non-championship points event for me) autocross with the New York Region at the Nassau Colliseum. According to Mike, the lot there is rough, and the core group of workers don't have the best reputation for organization. I'd be running on my stock street tires as a learning experience, trying to smooth out my lines that are able to be covered up with the V710's. Will likely get wet. This excludes all other events.

    Option 2 (Long Island): Go to Mike's Dyno day and BBQ. It's always fun to hang around in areas that fill your lungs with partially burnt hydrocarbons, see some impressive setups and gross displays of power, and chow down on some BBQ. Would possibly be able to do the either the Lexus event or the AMG event if I'm ambitious. Might get wet. Mike: what are the hours of your dyno day and bbq?

    Option 3 (Local to my house): AMG Performance Tour - I just got my confirmation for th 4:00 session. Doing this does not necessarily exclude either the BBQ or the Lexus Event. Probably won't get wet.

    Option 4 (2 hours south, Six Flags): A Taste of Lexus - I've never done this one or the AMG one, so I don't know what to expect. Is it worth a 2 hour drive? There's a good chance I'll end up wet at this one as well. If I do this one, I'll probably only be able to make it to the AMG event.

    It's pretty cool that I have so much to choose from tomorrow, but at the same time I'm going to feel like I'm missing out.

    What say you?

    Dyno day and AMG event. Sounds like they are most likely to be enjoyed in regard to organization, weather and free stuff. closer too?

    Any chance to flog an AMG is a good day. Dyno & BBQ is bonus.

    in a sad update, the weather may conspire against me. i'm sitting in kansas city on two standby wait lists as my full flight to newark has been cancelled.

    option 'hang out in kanas city airport' blows!

    AMG. But I changed my vote from AMG to Dyno+AMG.

    Well, it looks like Continental Airlines has decided that I will only be doing the AMG event.

    At least it's something!
