It was run by the Alfa Romeo Owners Club (AROC) I don't believe there is anything you need to sign up for to participate. From what I've heard, they always do registration the day of. No Pre-reg, even for club members.

Sweet! Much closer to me and at a much more reasonable hour. Also that parkling lot is huge.

Talk to Cameron he has already put in a muffler delete and did quite a bit of research around it. He will be able to provide more details I think.

When are we all going to get together for a cookout? I think we need to pick a Sat or Sunday later this month and a park and all get together..

I went to the xceed picnic on Sat.. hung out with Dave.. it was a great time. It would be awesome to get the "twins" owners together for something like that.

Dave actually suggested that we get a ft86 meet started. A BBQ would be great to start it off!

If you guys have the cook out in July I will be able to make it. I was at the Arizona one and it was awesome seeing 30+ cars out there

Yes, you were there.. saw you for a few seconds. .then my wife said it was time to get in line for food.. and 30 minutes later when we finally had food.. you were nowhere to be seen.

no worries though.. that's the whole idea of doing a "twins" BBQ.. we can all hang out together.

Oh cool, I will probably start going to this one instead of the other since it will be a bit easier for me to get to.

It's a 2 day event. You can participate both days or just one. I'm actually thinking about participating on the 23rd and going to the JD Racing Cars & Coffee on saturday.

I assume you are talking about the BRZ/FR-S transmission. It definitely gets finicky at times and will not shift smoothly.
