DVSF3 was my first but I had a great time. I'm not so worried about wife activities since she went this year and enjoyed it, but she will probably stay home next year.
Having so many people in one place at the hotels was a great way to meet, greet and stumble home safely.
Airport was probably the best to me. Agree on need for more food/drink options there. Love the drag and cone course.
And I think I heard you say OH $H!T !!! BRAKES!!!! from the other end of the tarmac.
By the way, How's the repairs coming?
How about a poker run / rally?? Give people a chance to get out and drive the countryside. Have different check points hand out raffle tickets or something. Show them your badge and get a raffle ticket. That way even those that don't tow/ship/bring a cobra could still participate.
