Yeah, too bad that the event email had a typo and I didn't catch it... I REALLY thought we were going to drive the i8... But I still had the most fun EVAR taking an F12 M6 to 100+ and F30 M3 through the autocross track

How often are these events? How can I get an email or find a calendar for them. After there was a huge Honda meet in the best buy parking lot a good 50 cars or more. I happened to be right in the middle of it since that's where I parked. My friend and I in our e90s. A modded 335 rolled up with this Honda friends lol

This. I got 2 emails, which one was Sep 9 from BMWNA, and another directly from my local dealership, Monrovia BMW for Sep 10... I called about it since I was confused (esp since I RSVP'd last month and forgot to put it in my calendar); the only difference between the 2 days are the chefs... It was a Japanese chef on the 9th, but I was stuck at work Hugh Acheson from last night did a great job nevertheless with the best seared salmon EVAR... PERFECTLY cooked.

Food looks good. I remember BMW BH did a similar event. Ate so much shrimp cocktails that gave up seafood for a week.

Either way, just make sure you're there at the time allocated (e.g. 6PM) on the dot, especially if you are on the wait list. I wanted to try my hands at more cars, but I was half an hour late due to LA traffic even with FasTrak and the idiots who always drive way under the speed limit in SGV, otherwise I'm sure I would've had half an hour more to drive more cars before the cutoff time, especially since they start dinner and begin serving alcohol at that hour. They base test drives on a roster on the spot, and the autocross is something you wait in line for. waiting list is 2-3 people ahead of you at the most, but if there's a car that suits you that is available, then take it and you'd be back in time. It was a cool course, but pretty short; by the time you are starting to get your jollies up as a driver it's over... I'd say you'd cover about ½-¾ miles, but you also get to enjoy being the passenger when the instructor is doing a rundown or when the other participants in the car are driving.
