For what it's worth...
I always felt that, on a weekend event, that any car-thrashing activity, like AutoX, should be early in the schedule... to allow anything that broke to get fixed before getaway day.
...and, do I understand this? ...that the Saturday event...the cornerstone of the weekend...is being considered this way:
..to leave the cars at the hotels all day and take a ferry to an island on the Lake? ? ? ?
..are you sure about that?
