I'll be heading out from the Rochester area (Canandaigua) I'm planning on getting there by 8:30, which means I'll be leaving around 7:30-7:40.

That was hella fun... although me and the wife ended up motoring off early. It was just too darn hot, we were both dying to get into the pool that day. And yes, it was me who had 2 out right by the stands next to the staging area. And yes, it was me (and the wife) who were working 'death corner' where the Tiberon ended up on the tires/foam. Did anyone catch how his car was looking when he left (was it towed?). My wife and I knew he was going to be in trouble the second he got close to us, and was still hard on the throttle when he should have been getting into the brakes....
