Default All Talk, No Go?

Not taking it the wrong way.

Any meet for me is a last minute deal. I have kids and a wife, and usually have to work around that. I don't like to back out of committals, so usually I don't give one. If my kid says "let's play soccer", I'd drop a car show/meet for that, no questions asked.

On a side note, my car has incomplete registration right now (smog's not done, but fees are paid), so driving anywhere is a risk. But that's not as big of a deterrent as family.

And if I brought my son to the event, any event for that matter, we would only last 30 minutes at best. He loves cars, but he's 8, so they are only so impressed for so long.

We're planning on going, but since we're out of state, we need to make sure all other items are in order before committing to the actual event. Family, work, more pressing issues will take precedence. It sounds like it should be a great time!

Mav don't worry you are not the only one who has not been to one, this is the inaugural Los Angeles Invasion

Pewter, Wow this is right in your back yard. The hotel where all the out of town guests are stayin is in ONT. You will hear the exhaust from your home. (mine resonates 1 mile w/cutout open)

Well its too bad, I hope and expect it to be sold out before it comes other wise I would hope you could all make it. Keep an eye on the roster posted on the website should you have a change of heart as it gets closer.

Can always come out to watch the racing and hang out and meet everybody.

Cheers,
