Hey guys,
Don't let the flyer discourage you. It was discouraging for me also until I began to be contacted about it thru other channels outside of forums. The event seems to be bigger than what you can perceive from the flyer. Hope to see some NSX folks there.
BryziNSX was kind enough to inquire on reserved spots. I believe she has secured a handful but obviously... spots are going quickly.
Here's more info on the event and how the $ donation are to be managed.

Sounds like a great cause but this seems a bit overly complicated:
Finally it comes down to where are all the donations going? The donations will be given to the temple (Hompa Hongwanji) which then they will donate all of what we earned to the BCA (Buddhist Churches of America). The BCA basically has all the temples affiliated with it collect donations and send it to the main temple in San Francisco where all the donations will be sent to Japan, Specifically the “Hongwanji’s Social Welfare Department” in Kyoto, Japan. The BCA has close ties to Japan, and the main Hongwanji temple is in Kyoto. Here is the site if you would like to check it out! Welcome to the BCA

Hey all...just a FYI, the coordinator (Josh) told me that he is going to have the booths set up between 12:30-1:00pm and cars that have a reserved spot should get there around 1:00pm (I'm getting more information on how he's planning on organizing this). I'm assuming that most of the others that do not have reserved spots will show up more toward 2pm.
So far I was given 4 reserved spots (one is mine and Moses I have you covered too). So technically I have 2 more reserved spots left. Please PM me if you'd like one of them. :smile:

This Sunday is the event so get ready!!!!!
This Sunday is the event so get ready!!!!!
Does anyone want to meet up before hand so we can all roll in together?
That'd be a great idea. I think I'm the farthest away and I'm not too familiar with the LA area. Anyone know of any good places to meet up around the temple?
Hey guys, I meant to reply sooner but getting status updates from a bunch of other people took a while. We can meet at my house in Culver City if you'd like. It seems central to both of you.
So in my case, I had already committed to this show with a few of my childhood friends before this post started. They've saved me a spot but it was back and forth for a while so I wasn't too sure until recently. In any case, i'm committed 100% and already have a reserved space. However, the NSX is still on jackstands because i'm still tinkering with the exhaust. If i can't put it back together in time i'll be taking the Chevy.
I'm planning to meet them off the fwy in Monterey Park somewhere at around 12-1230. It's a 15min drive to the temple from there.
You're more than welcome to caravan with me/us and we'd welcome the company! Would meeting at my house at 1115 be too early?
PM me if interested.
Meeting up in Monterey Park would work better for me, but anywhere else we all agree on is fine too.
I'll bug you at your house. Pm me your address. Hope your exhaust is done by then.
See you all at Ryu's place Sunday for a meet up! 
woot! great that some of you guys are coming
PM'ed you guys.
lol on the exhaust. i'm close but not quiet there yet. I had it apart again last night. at least my welding is getting better.
Introduce yourself, want to know who you are for the drift meets.
Thisa rain on shine event?
