I spoke with Drew this am, he said Car Craft contacted him, and they are going to go for a ride in his 77 Cutlass Supreme Brougham and film the solo ride, and a burnout 9am Sat the 19th. (he was the winner of burnout contest last year)

I should be going, provided I can get a couple friends to go along too. (and provided nobody makes other plans for me) I'm not putting my car in the show, just spectating.

I have to miss Iola this year so I really hope I can make it to this.
