Hey everyone, I am the Toys for Tots Coordinator for southern Los Angeles/northern Orange County. I have also been a member of this site for three years now. I would like to know if anyone is interested in a car show/race event on a runway, where we can test our cars at high speeds without any legal ramifications. Everyone who would like to attend or run their cars on the two runways may give a donation to the Toys for Tots program. The event will be held in Los Alamitos, on a military base. I already have it approved, I just need to know if there are enough people who are willing to come out and participate. I would also like to know if there are any shops in the LA or Orange county area that would want to have a booth there. Once again, I am just curious to know if anyone would be interested. The base has already held an event like this before with Super Cars Exposed so they are willing to work with any request I can come up with. All proceeds will go straight to the Toys for Tots program. Please send any feedback or suggestions.
