Kevin and I are finishing up the car soon! Very excited to showcase the car again this year. Don, can't thank you enough for giving everybody the opportunity to showcase their vehicle. (And it makes my sponsors happy. Haha)

For those signed up to put their car in the show today (12:00-4:30pm), here are some brief directions based on the procedure from previous years.
1. Get your car inspected in the Convention Center underground parking garage by the Fire Marshall. Tell the entrance attendant what you are doing, so you won't have to pay. The Fire Marshall will check that your car has less than 1/4 tank of fuel and put a sticker on your car.
2. Go to the Guard Shack shown on the attached map.
3. Once you get past the Guard Shack, go up the spiral ramp to the loading dock area and then turn right.
4. You will pass a bunch of loading docks on your left.
5. You will approach more docks to your front and will have to turn right again to keep the docks on your left. There will be an entrance ramp to the left prior to reaching a 100-ft long bridge. Last year I entered here. This year the Show has added Hall A (where the NTEC booth in located), which is down past the 100-ft bridge. There should be an entrance ramp past the bridge, but I can't confirm it. You'll need to check this out yourself when you arrive and find the closest entrance to our booth.

Ok I was curious. I entered my car in HIN a few years ago and they just looked at the gauge. So instead of burning off 3/4 of a tank of fuel after driving down from OKC, I just unplugged the fuel gauge so it defaulted to empty lol.

Because the management of that certain event failed to inform the entrants of the regulations. In the future, I would. Like I said, that was purely out of curiousity. Im not participating in this event.

Thanks,
