The 2nd annual Tucson IFO has already been scheduled for February 8th, 2009 at Southwestern International Raceway.

Since we have been there before, if you wanna do an overnighter, you can stay at the Hotel Arizona, downtown for about $50 per night. PM me if you want/need more info.

Roll call is up on Scion Apocalypse.com. Price is expected to be $25 with discounts for clubs that show and rest assured I will have discount coupons for those who are going to make the trek to Tucson.
