I'm going, but I'll be watching from the sidelines as I'll be there with my 300M Special that needs a new rear strut before it does any serious cornering.
You've got a week! Get cracking!

I wish - just not enough time with everything else I have going on. I'd bring my 69 Satellite wagon and AutoX that, but its riding on 14'' tires and needs some gas tank attention before I'd bring it out onto the course.

I have a bunch of stuff I want to do with my Challenger before the show, but not enough time. I'd love to box the LCAs, throw on my solid tie rod sleeves, mount my T/A rear spoiler, pull the fresh fenders to mount the inner fender braces (and cut out the bracket inside the fenders to drop the front suspension some more), put on my Nascar inspired breather/PCV setup, aftermarket pertronix ignition (ECU, Coil, & Distributor) and tune the carb, but everything is "working" now and there's plenty of time after the show to move forward with it.  Tomorrow is re-install the grill & front bumper, align the headlights, and do the bezels. Check fluids and take it for a drive on Monday.  Load up Wednesday.

I was kind of disappointed to learn Friday afternoon that in order to compete you had to register then race then go on a cruise around town? I had alternator issues and wrenched on the car all morning trying to get it ready and didn't even know the course was set up till I wandered over there and was told sorry your too late had to enter earlier etc...? First time I heard about any sort of requirements or planning? Nothing was said on here or pro-touring Mopar etc...? 
Poor Cudazappa.... he did not have a good day. 
So are you going to get to run your car on the autocross track at all?
Or just not in this competition?
Wonder the extent of mods of the cars that got to compete? Brad's pushed the envelope and thought out of the box on his very garage built car.

 It seemed like he tried very hard to get his car ready to compete there..

Racing happens... The guys at Hotchkis are first rate class acts. I made my one run last night so I didn't end with a dnf.
Brad, the Hotchkis real street autocross Challenge was an all day affair yesterday. Took up the morning from 9 to almost noon, then the competition autocross for the invitees was at 8pm. Today they are running classes this morning and afternoon with the winners announced at 4:30 kinda like last year.
....
Oh ok, so he just didn't have his car ready in time for the Street Challenge deal.

Any questions I'll be by my car finishing the fender replacement. I don't think I'll be autocross ing any more this weekend.
Did you make it home OK? Was the tie rod bent?

Looked at the track and noticed a BMW on the track then went back to the club tent for cc.com.
