A friend and I were planning on taking a road trip in my F out to the Bonneville Salt Flats for Speed Week and the PPIHC was rescheduled to the exact time we will be driving though Colorado. With that said, I will be at the hill climb! I'll take as many pictures and videos as I can. If any other CL members are going to be out there, I'd be up to meet and grab some food/beer.

If you can please take closeups of the CCS-R, especially any carbon fiber parts, unusual components, finer details of the car not normally seen.

I sure will if I see it. My friend and I have a habit of taking pictures of the details exactly as you mentioned. Last year at SEMA we got strange looks when we were taking shots of the LFA's carbon fiber flat underbody and the cooling ducts on Monster Tajima's hill climb Suzuki. The details are what turns a good car into a great car.
