This is a fun event. And as an added bonus, my Dad's company is sponsoring a cart. If you see one with "MICE Display Works" on it, the guy driving it is Miles (not my Dad). If you see a large bald guy helping with it, that is my Dad, Don. Go say, "Hi!"
And here are some pictures from the race a couple years ago:

The first half of the images are from the ASBD. The second half are from Fluetag, which was the same day that year.
Anyway, get your hiney's out to the races and have a lot of fun. :-)
