    Which one, Tillman?

    Seriously - do we need to do this twice in two weeks?

    I have always supported Don and Carolyn and the great job they have done -

    And yes, thank you for Ferrari of Dallas of Dallas -

    But - is not this a time to get everybody together and work together?

    Well, it is nice that Ferrari didn't choose to compete with the original again...

    I'm looking forward to both events. I thought last year was perfect. I can't think of a better way to help out with two groups of kids. Plus, twice as many opportunities to drive some beautiful roads and exercise the car before the long winter months. We'll be there for both.

    I don't have the time to do both, will do the FCA event since I've only missed one in all these years. I'm personally glad they aren't competing any more!

    I ask again - is it really necessary to do TWO events when there is already one well-established event that has been very successful in the past?

    Sorry to ruffle any feathers, but that is the way I see it, and that is the way I call it.

    I think it is a good idea for both of the runs to co-exist. It is after all for the local kiddos that will not have much of a Christmas. Carolyn and I will certainly try to support both of the runs, but we will probably be doing a trial mock run the previous weekend. Although we pretty much have everything "mapped" out you never know what will happen with the roads in the last week, ah hem as we all know from last year.

    Two runs in two weeks, lots of gas, lots of miles, lots of toys, lots of smiles what a way to end the year.:)

    There are people on BWF's email list who are not on the FCA's email list and there are people who are on the FCA's email list who are not on BWF's email list. It includes more people to have both.

    This also allows people to go to one rally if they are busy during the other.

    This also allows the kids to win more. Who cares if there are two meets? More kids get to have a better christmas as a result of having two. Of course we get to have fun but the really victory of these toy runs is the kids getting a present for christmas.

    You don't have to participate in both but realize there is a huge upside to having both- more people get to participate in a fun rally and more kids get toys.

    I think it's great to have access to two events on separate weekends, gives us an option if travel or another event gets in the way.

    Is the FCA one still open to outsiders (Porschephile's)?

    We would love to do both, but we're out of town the weekend of the 7th.
