GREAT Event for SoCal Owners

Hey all-
This is an event that I've been participating in for the last 3 years now, and it is an absolute BLAST. The Targa Trophy has evolved from a single point-to-point rally into a 3 rally series that spans the length of California, and now even Arizona!

The first event will be on June 25/June 26 and will run between Los Angeles and San diego. W Hotels are the hosting venues, and I can assure you, the parties and dinners, etc. will be FANTASTIC. This is undoubtedly the most exciting event of the year for me (although I'm yet to do an AMG Driving Academy day; Laguna Seca, here I come...).

I encourage you all to check out the website below. Even if you do not wish to participate in the rally, there will be room for you to come bring out your car and put it on display at the rally start at The W Hotel and Condos in Hollywood. (There is a chance that Argyle Blvd. will be shut down at Hollywood Blvd. for the rally start)

Feel free to PM me if you have ANY questions at all. This is an incredible event and is very well worth the entry fee. I hope to see you all there!

You could call it that, but this event is much more sophisticated than the Gumball. I don't mean to discount the Gumball or its crowd (I actually hope to run it one day), but this is much more of a luxury lifestyle and driving event than it is a party on wheels. Needless to say, the parties at TT are fantastic, but when it comes to driving and higher living, this is the event to be at.
