No, Verne Troyer will not be there.
However, we are in the process of getting some Iowa Marauders together (that sounds funny, Iowa MarauderS, we're plural now!) for the mustangcentral.net Ford shootout that weekend.
We are planning the test n' tune that Friday night, and some runs on Sunday. Saturday has some conflicts for me, but they are running all day Saturday too. The Sturgis Falls celebration in Cedar Falls is going on that weekend, and it is the biggest outdoor summer event here, so anyone could make a weekend of it.
They have a bracket elimination scheduled at the track which I am sure to be eliminated in, but it will be fun.
I would LOVE some of you guys from Chi-town, MO, Twin Cities, and anyone else to show and help represent us. Jason (jwheeler), John (TooManyFords), and I are planning to be going as of today, and none of us are S/C (I *think* - Wheeler's been awful quiet . . .)
You are all welcome to join us. I *might* have limited space at my house for anyone to stay over (not more than 2-3 people, and you would have to not mind the hungry newborn every three hours in the middle of the night). That's up to the boss, of course, but if anyone has a real need please IM or email me.
I am a first-time racer, and Jason might be (correct me if I am wrong - not trying to slight anyone). But it should be a fun weekend.

Any questions, and I would be happy to try and answer them.
Thanks! I know we are far from civilization, but it's all interstate to get here and I would love to see/meet some of you guys (and gals!) there.
