Ya I wrote it wrong. We still might go since our usual trip to Florida in February might get moved to March to go to the NASCAR Homestead-Miami race. My older sister, who I just found out existed earlier this year, has never been. It would be awesome to get to go in a hospitality area if you can.
My only somewhat complaint about the whole thing, and this is an issue with other genres of motorsports, is the merchandise seemed scattered. They didn't have any Steve Torrence stuff in the NHRA tent and I didn't see a merchandise hauler specific to him. I ended up ordering some from the webpage after buying some shirts for Force and Capps and some diecasts at the NHRA tent.
I definitely could have gotten you into the hospitality area, and given the 50 cent tour of each corporate Fuel team. As for what will be happening in the new year, remains to be seen. Eight years of running the full tour (and 10 or so on teams that didn't run the full tour) has been a good run. Been a part of a few championships. We'll see if we can come to an agreement, that makes it worth our while.
I can't recall the last time I bought any souvenirs from the Nitro Mall, or any other vendors, so I'm not much help on the merchandising front.
