    Who has an easy up tent, portable grill, etc...? We need to plan this better than last year. It was great having Alex's Propane Grill, but sucked that we didn't have any utensils to flip burgers and the likes. Luckily we had cool neighbors that let us use their stuff, but we need to plan ahead better this time.

    I have 2 camping chairs, and a not-easy-up-tent that I will bring as an absolute last resort.

    I can also bring Burgers and buns, and some beer

    As long as I get brake pads from Battleground in time I will definitely be there. If not I'll be there but the STi will be sitting. If we can verify somebody is bringing a grill I'd be more than happy to bring a handful of burgers, buns, etc. Any thoughts on where we are going to park? It would be cool to get a spot behind the concrete seating maybe line them up in the grass.

    I'll bring a couple for you.

    This will be my first chance to meet any of you in person I'm looking forward to it. No idea who all will be with me yet, but wifey is not coming to the track. This will be my 5th year going to D1, and because some of you mentioned you were bringing your significant other this was the first year I almost convinced her. Maybe next year.

    Damn...I just got an opportunity to get a couple free tickets if I show up at 8:30am to help a local company set their booth up. I really don't wanna miss the caravan though :hs:. Haven't been in the area at all - think I would still be able to move my car near you guys when you show up?

    Should be able to assuming you do it soon enough. Regardless, I have the WRXatlanta Banner somewhere in my house. I will bring it, and we can hang it from the tent, so we should be easy to find if you haven't met most of us.
