Cool. It was nice of all the NorCal guys to drive down last year. It would be great if you all came down again this year.

[cali yaris]

yeah that was just awesome last year. Hope you guys can get a group to come down!

[minired5stby]

I agree with the combined efforts of north and south it will be nice to see some impressive #'s again.

[Brian]

Anyone else register or plan on registering? Do it now before its too late. Space will probably be full it the next 2 weeks.

[chewychewbacca]

So what does registering do? I'd like to come and check this out for sure. Differences from spectating and registering? I live closeby.

[Brian]

If you register, you park in the show area with the other yarii. Spectating is fine too if you don't wanna show your car and you can leave when you want to.

[minired5stby]

Theres always room for another Star Wars fan.

[Crims0n5]

yeah im seriously considering registering my car, if not i'll for sure spectate and say high to everyone.

[minired5stby]

Register just do it, do it now :biggrin:

[Brian]

I agree, you should register.. You get a free goodie bag.

[Brian]

Maybe next year.

To everyone else, space is full as of April 1st so REGISTRATION IS CLOSED.

[cali yaris]

wonder how many we got... :frown:

[minired5stby]

Hopefully there will be more beyond da 8 of us.

[str8Yaris]

I will be there spectating on that day..... hope u guys win some awards....

wonder how many we got... :frown:

[SilverBack]

I might swing by around lunchtime as well

[cali yaris]

unless we get 8 or 10 cars we won't be assigned a trophy class. That will put is in with a lot of other cars, like the Previa that got 1st place two years ago (3?).

Anyways, we tried our best to get people to register in time!

[advocate]

It cuts into the budget quite a bit as well.

1) Toyotafest registration
2) Gas two ways (Now 1$ more per gallon than last year)
3) Hotel for the night
4) Food for two days

Don't get me wrong it's well worth the money but you can't get blood from a stone as they say.

Looking forward to lots of pictures guys and GL winning over the other non-class'd cars.

[str8Yaris]

How many yaris do u guys have???? I hope a lot of ppl come out to support our fellow yaris brothers..... I'm going plan a mini meet & get a big convoy down to toyota fest... details to be anounced soon... going to convoy most likely with couple of guys from 9th gen corolla....

unless we get 8 or 10 cars we won't be assigned a trophy class. That will put is in with a lot of other cars, like the Previa that got 1st place two years ago (3?).

[computerlove87]

Bad news guys, no one else I know of is coming from the bay as far as i know :cry:

I think there is a "Yaris" trophy class this year, i could have sworn i saw it on the reg confirmation page.

[minired5stby]

Lets hope they keep it as it is then

[LA Yaris]

I hope they put us under the trees this year..

[Kioshi]

I hope they put us under the trees this year..

Haha it was damn hot last year being in direct sunlight.

And yeah, sorry Garm, the rest of the NorCal crew could not make it this year. Aside from higher school fees and food and overnight shelter expenses....it really cannot be possible for most of us up here.

If you can arrange a transport truck for all of us, I'm sure i can bring 10 people from up here to ToyotaFest ;)

[ezhacker1]

i thought about going, didnt want to leave Taylor by himself from the NorCal group but no time to get car to be compete worthy and its finals time...why not have it in June....

[computerlove87]

Yeah, I'm definitely cutting it close with finals to go LOL, I have one the night before I plan to leave and one the Monday i get back (after driving home sunday) but worth it! At least we'll have our nice big Mill Valley meet! no more dinky little meets where only 2 ppl show up LOL

[Brian]

Is anyone else that registered planning on going to the Toyota Automobile Museum the day before the show? I just RSVP'ed for it.

[minired5stby]

I wish I could but gotta work.

[Brian]

I wish I could but gotta work.

Take the day off, I am.

[computerlove87]

I looked at their collection online, didn't think there was much to see there that wuldnt be at the show, not worth driving up a day early fr me.

[Yaristeve]

I haven't heard from the powdercoater yet. Since the tire shop has my tires, if I don't get my wheels back before they close, I can't mount the tires.

I'm pretty disappointed at the moment! :frown:

I am so jealous. I was all set to go but I came down with the flu! I managed to go to the Toyota Museum on Friday (a little bit disappointed) but just couldn't go on Saturday... And I wanted so much to see the LF-A (I read that they actually fired it up!) :frown:

[minired5stby]

I guess I missed that but I did see it and a very bright yellow it was.
