… BREAKING NEWS … Chrysler has confirmed that they will have multiple new 2011 Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger vehicles present at the 2011 Spring Festival for participants to drive. Chrysler has added this driving element to the Spring Festival to allow participants some of the first opportunities to drive these new vehicles. Participants will be allowed to drive the vehicles on a designated course at the El Toro air strip and experience firsthand how exceptional these new vehicles are!
Well, they wanted to do a big extended road course, but with an expected 1000+ potential drivers divided by X number of Chargers and 300s, they'll probably have to trim it down a bit so every one has an opportunity. Details details.

Last year's final registration total was 662. We only need another 80 to beat it, with just shy of SEVEN WEEKS until SpringFest! Also, I started this on another thread, figure it doesn't hurt to try it here. If you're coming to SpringFest, post up a favorite pic of your LX/LC, to give everyone an idea of how this show really is about the cars and those that love, drive, and modify them.
Alright, Super Bowl's over, time to register. Oh and be sure to butter up your significant other next weekend so they'll be more receptive to the idea of going to SpringFest! Just a thought!
Alright, slow day for stats, but for Super Bowl Sunday I'll take FOUR additional registrations: FOUR from California ONE more of each of the models - a 300 Touring, a Challenger R/T, a Charger R/T, and a Magnum SRT8 TWO more 2006s, ONE more 2009, and ONE more 2010 TWO more Brilliant Black Crystal Pearls, ONE more Infero Red Crystal Pearl, and ONE more Silver Steel Metallic For a new total of 584! Just 416 more for 1000! And less than 48 days left until SpringFest!
