Toy for tots and Ferrari

Ok guys, what would be a realistic but amazing number of Ferraris to have at this years toys for tots event. The FDC is on board and I believe the FOC and FCA are going to be as well. I want to make Ferrari the showcase.....so does anybody know the largest amount of Ferraris together at any one time in SOCAl, (exludling the Mont. Historics Norcal)? What do you all think is possible? I am thinking 200-250...does this sound right? I want to corral all the F-cars at a location and then pull them in all at once and save the premier parking for the fcars. And, lastly, do you all think we could coordinate the parking by year....thoughts? Lastly, thanks for all of the support. The event is coming together in a great fashion.

you are absoutely correct, i am trying to have all cars coordinated and setting parking aside for each, but when you have one highlighted make, it helps to bring in a lot of other people. Trust me, i am the most non-dicriminating person around, infact, i drive an audi and i want to get a 69 camaro......

but, i should have over 100 porsches, 100 bmw, 100 audi, i have no idea how many muscle cars, but i would say 100-200, etc. This event is 100% about the kids and the motorsport community. There is no cost to attend, just bring a toy. Further, there are no booths selling anything, and in the bylaws of the non-profit corp, it clearly states absolutley no salaries ever! I have been getting calls from companies trying to attach their name on this event and give me large sums of money for it...and i will not do that. I want to keep this as "pure" as possible. About the kids, the car community, and the marines as it is their foundation.

As for next year, there will be a differnt make highlighted. Kind of stole the idea from another great event. So, it is not about any one type of car.....i apologize for any confusion...I am trying to make this a lasting event and kind of making it up as i go along.

Oh yeah, and nobody can park on the street...as of yet. I am trying to get the city to allow parking but it will be a stretch.

This year spotlight Ferrari, next year Porsche....i havent gotten to the year after that yet. There are approx 1200 parking spaces available at this location, so i should be able to accomodate everyone. Everyone counts. Bottom line.

Lastly, i am always open to input. The goal is the toys for the kids and to have a great show for EVERYONE to enjoy. If any of you have any ideas on how to make it more successful, please share your ideas with me.

Well, the FDC is always incredibly supportive. I am hoping that everyone is calling all of their friends. I would like to see 200-300 ferraris. i think it is possible. if we do, i will have Jon wear a skirt and a tube top to the event......come on Jon, is it a bet...
