I really like the name of this event. Reminds me of a great scene in the movie "My Cousin Vinny"

I'm fairly certain 1261 will be showing up there again. Our 20 or so rookies had a BLAST at GRITS last year. Some of them got a chance to drive while others got jumped up just watching. Who else is thinking of coming down? - Sunny |

I'm going to make a push for this within my team (if we don't go too crazy planning SCRIW that happens two weeks afterward here in Columbia). I went to the first GRITS event in 2009, and it was pretty awesome! If you're remotely close, it's worth the trip.

I was hoping to bring our team this year, but unfortunately GRITS is the same weekend as our local BEST competition gameday. This looks like a great venue and event - hopefully next year we'll make it.

And yes, boys and girls, that really is a real SR-71 Blackbird to the side of our GRITS field. You will never have a chance to get any closer!
It's a wonderful venue for a wonderful event. Y'all Come! Dr. Bob |

Does anyone have a teams list for the event? I know it's kind of early, but I was just curious.

I will get it and post it next week. It filled to 2/3 capacity relatively quickly, 1/3 to go.
