Closest drag strip is about 20 minutes north, in Xenia.  I
just looked at the website though and the VW event is the
weekend before Cincy.

As to Cedar Point, it's a pretty good hike, probably 3.5-4
hours to get there as there's no direct route save a
2-lane.  You'd have to miss the majority of Cincy to go if
you were going on the weekend.

I'm taking most of the week before Cincy off, so if anyone
rolls in a day or two early, it's alright.  Just be warned
that I might put you to work if you're hanging around!  And
what's up with everyone except the die-hards leaving by
2:00-ish on Sunday?  Granted, last year there was still
tech procedures going on in the garage 'til about 12:30
Sunday night, but there was only about 5 people.

Days like today REALLY make me long for June and warm
temps.  We got dumped on with about 8" of snow and 25 mph
winds all day - driveway is damn near impassable without
snow tires.  (Just ask Ben Harder, Josh Conner and Anson
Clement - we all pushed Ben's Passat up the driveway
tonight)
