The event will culminate at the Salt Flats again for a top-speed competition. We will also be offering CASH and other prizes for all of this year's events, including the Salt Flats. It's time for someone to eclipse Brent's standing record of 183!

 

We've got some really cool, unique things lined up this year that should make 2008 our most memorable event yet. I'll be releasing this info as I finalize plans. Let me know if you all have any questions.

As usual I'll be attending. I cannot stress enough what an amazing event this is, by far the highlight of my summer every year. It's a week of hanging out with like minded car people driving cross country, doing incredible once in a lifetime events and seeing parts of the country you might not otherwise see. Last year on the way out we discovered a series of roads in the Rockies which were simply breathtaking and about the best driving roads I've been on. I think we saw 2 other cars in 3+ hours of driving amazing twisties and sweepers.

 

It was literally 3+ hours of this:

 

Simply amazing.

I highly encourage you to sign up and join this year's event. I've definitely made lifelong friends and had some crazy experiences doing AKA the past few years.

 

(I am in no way affiliated with AKA Rally, just trying to generate interest like I do every year).

 

I am fully planning on taking my KA-T powered '71 240z on this trip once it's done (hopefully sometime next month it'll be ready to start doing shakedown testing on).
