You best be careful with such offers, it might turn into an event unto itself

Yeah, but I don't think many of us sighed up for it. Plus this one will have beer and MT bros. And NCR bros unless I'm mistaken?

Pretty sure we're tagging along with the MT folks for the after hour shenanigans.

(And possibly pit spaces?)

I don't think I signed up for it. I didn't sign up for the banquet either went to those at a few events and found them boring. A couple years ago I and a couple other folks had our own banquet at Tarpy's instead -- MUCH tastier.

Waiting for a little more info on pricing then I will see if I can get enough people to commit to this and make it worth it.

So I need to figure out shipping. They aren't individually boxed so I would need to find boxes...

Flat rate USPS boxes?

Pick-up-at-Laguna works for me!

Picked-up would be fine, unless you start running out of room with the 2x of you & gear in the Miata.

Open a FS thread and see if you can get more commitments? That section gets far more traffic than this one. Just be realistic about shipping and people shouldn't cry too much.

I'll open a for sale thread once I figure out shipping.
I figure I can get 5+ local, but I'm sure others will want it too.
But yes, its going to be tight. 3 people 2 miatas.

If you californians didn't have your stupid trailer law I would.
I'm going to make a trailer hitch platform/tire tail. Corrugated sheet metal base, room for a locking storage bin and then a tire tail above it.
But that won't happen before MRLS

If you get enough people wanting to do Laguna pickup that it won't fit in your Miata, you can ship a single box down to me and I'll bring them to the track in my truck.
