I dont understand why this is the same day as the DSM shootout in Norwalk Ohio? I would Like to go to this as well as the DSM shootout. It seems retarded to have it the same day. :confused:
I guess Its cause everybody hates david buschur huh? Well Instead of trying to kill the DSM shootout in Ohio just make a whole new one. I would love to have MORE big DSM /EVO events!
Seems like this scheduling was done to piss certain people off. But we are all suffering cause I can only be in one state at a time. IT SUCKS that I have to miss this showdown. :notgood:

I know 20+ people from North and South Carolina alone that are going to the Showdown, including me. There is about 4 or 5 of us planning on racing. We'll all be at TT on Saturday and then E-town on Sunday. Most of us will be staying at the Comfort Inn, but a few are staying at the Merriot. Hope to see all you guys there.
 
There will definitely be a large spectator turnout. Nobody should feel odd that they're just coming to watch instead of race; I suspect I'll pay my $30 to be in a bracket class just so I can make a few tuning passes, but I'm really there to see everyone and cheer on some friends. :)
