Anyone been there before, meaning what is the best way to get to the track? Things to know about parking or pit vehicles etc? If my car survives the dyno on friday, im going to be attending my first ever ifo race to run FWD.

Where are you coming from? The pits are super easy to get to, and usually there are track officials to direct you where you need to be.

For anyone that came last year there is a different way you have to take to get to the track.

I had a great time and thanks to IFO for putting on this event!!

It is the only Import event @ GMP and only the 2nd year it is back so it still has a lot of growth potential. Hopefully we have it again next year and it steps up again in size. I know a couple locals who will be stepping up for next year for sure.

Turnout was decent showing I thought although it could be better. Some quick hondas and rotary cars made a good show for the drag racing. TPR's civic is a beast, they won FWD. Also had a group of air cooled turbo VW beetle guys out there giving it hell, couple all motor hondas, everything from hondas to camaros/ mustangs in test n tune, etc.

HUGE drift course out there this year, not really my thing but something to watch between rounds. Pretty cool they made it so big, definitely kept the drifters busy.
