70 cars means almost 100 people. Bullhorn and a loud speaker? :-)

Yes, Ron, I agree... we will try to keep the cars together as much as possible. But with this many cars, we don't want to create a parade situation and also want to somewhat manage other factors a bit, such as traffic, etc.

As an inaugural drive for newbies, though, it certainly promises to be an excellent turnout! It is definitely thanks to Matt's efforts... but like all of our drives, it's also all about us owners and enthusiasts who just love driving! We are what make the drives exciting and fun!

Byron, I think part of the fun is so many similar cars getting together and driving together, as much as that will be possible.

This has the likelihood of being the greatest event ever. With all credit due to Matt.

Jordan, Ron... good points...

But just to reassure your concerns, we are all about the drive! I'm just thrilled to see such a turnout from so many people. It seems we have lots of active lurkers on this board that will be bringing out some great cars. Regardless of how many people each one of us actually gets to meet, just meeting 1 or 2 new faces should be celebrated!

Matt... if the group gets too large, we may elect to leave in slightly staggered groups just to manage the traffic a bit... we can talk more about that after the cutoff date.

Matt, we are already way past the parade point. The only thing missing will be the flags and band. But I think it will be great fun.

I'm guessing that there will be 20% no shows also.

Thats a good Idea Matt...Could make the event less social too. Meeting and interacting with 70 people can be difficult.

Matt:

I'll know later next week. I will be going to the race, but whether I make the drive is another story. My thought is to trailer the 355, do the drive, go to Fontana, then trailer the 355 home.
