I'll probably kill myself on that run. If I have a boost controller then and I can drop it to .3 Bar, I'll come..

How does the celica only weigh 1500??

yea thats not much power for a 2800 lb car.

why would i turn down the boost? because it will probably still be faster than any cars that show up and i have more common sense than pride. id rather not wreck my hard earned baby

i think im going to toys for tots- some ferrari guys were talking to me about it at crystal cove

Why the hell are we leaving so early for this??? the event starts at 9am and is only 5-10 min away. Yes, there will be a good group there by 9 but we should have reserved space and if we show up at 930 it would be a great processing in front of everyone! Last year, numerous groups showed up between 930 and 1030...

I'm sure we have the spots secured, just need to double check and get a total car count (I have a feeling we might have more than the 20 or so confirmed in the other thread).

I think it would be much better if we all caravan in together...looks more organized and alot better. We should work out a time...what time are you thinking? Leave VCR at 9?
