In addition, I will donate one set of tires to an Expo5 driver as a gift given away at the banquet. This donation is only available for Honda applications i.e ITR, Civic, Accord, ETC. The winner of this prize will report to me and provide me their information. The winner pays shipping of the tires.

This is Great. I missed this years due to Car problems and serious Jet Lag. Put it on the Calendar and pray nothing comes up to prevent me from attending :P
