I've been watching the live stream from whatever time I wake up til the day is over, it really seems like one of those bucket list events. I know of one guy who brought his marauder in years prior (but is running a mustang GT/CS this year since his marauder is down) and someone else is running a 03 crown vic this year (that ran a 13.58 on spray).
I have to look into the rules more but I figure I could fit into the "daily driver" class just fine and hopefully if I get everything I want squared away on my car I should, should be able to post some consistent 11.8-12.0's next year. I've already been thinking about what type of spare parts I'd bring along with me, I'm pretty confident my car could make a thousand + mile trip and make at least 1 run every day. I know I wouldn't have a chance in hell at winning seeing what other cars are going up but I know I could do pretty well and it certainly would be an experience.

I figure if I were to take my nearly 400k mile Benz to such a thing, I might get a quarter in the mid 42s.

The two big events I want to do are GRM $2015 challenge and Hot Rod PowerTour. I'd have to get a car for the Power Tour because I don't think my Miata would fit very well.

Pro tip: To get a really close shave on your legs, try soaking in a tub and then shaving them. Wait...what? Oh drag racing week...title had me fooled...

Every year, I feel exactly as you do. I spend the entire week scheming plans on how it would work. Same goes for One Lap of America. And LeMons.
The reality is that vacation time is precious and we always end up using it all to see distant friends or family. Still fun to dream, though. My oldest is 13 this year. Probably in a few years, I can justify something like this with him. :-)

yeah it is a long time to take off from work, and by next year I figure I'll be doing either night classes or online classes to. Which means I'd have to be doing online stuff from the road every night.
