Bill, are you planning on attending the toledo pro this year?

I have my fingers crossed to have the car by then but im not holding my breath.

I just called and also scheduled a ride along. Unfortunately, they won't let anyone drive it but I'm excited to at least sit in it.

my Original Goal was the first Lincoln Event...not sure If I can make that one and have the car ready...Christy Carlson is going to co-drive.. I have planned ...Lincoln, Toledo, Peru....Milwaukee Street tire challenge....and maybe Nats...but I don't think the car is going to be classed appropriately yet...Letter was sent to SEB back in Feb...:/ ...We'll see..

Good deal. Would love to chat a bit about your thoughts on the car then. I am currently planning to run mine in stock class next year... But that is very debateable still.

-Some other news...Toyota is saying a JUNE 1st introduction date.... As of yesterday...there is a boat 1/2 BRZs the other Half FRS's.. on its way to Long Beach ...left port on Tues...usually takes about 17 days to travel from Japan to Calif...soo Do the math.

It seems that the May arrival date the gm told me at our local dealership is true! I thought at first it was too good to be true!! Thanks for the info. expecting Late may Early June arrival

BTW Where is this dealership located?

Hey, Bill:

I saw you pre-ordered your BRZ from Don Miller East. I also pre-ordered mine from Don Miller West in Madison, WRB Limited. I wish I knew that this event was going on in Oshkosh... would've definitely made my trip there to see this car in person! Well I hope we get our cars soon... because I sure can't wait!

The seating position will probably feel a little different since they said they made it to have a very low hip point as to lower the center of gravity even more.
