If you can't wait, travel on over to http://www.socallx.com/2010SFStatistics.aspx If you're even toying with the idea of going to this event, register now. You've got a week, maybe two before they shut down registration. This thing is too big to do otherwise. Don't be that guy sitting at home during the event, checking the site over and over for picss and updates and waiting to hear from your buddies about what you missed. Don't be that guy saying "man I wish I'd gone, maybe next year." No, be the guy/gal who registers and goes and has a story or five to tell when you get home, a ton of pictures and video to share on the boards and be able to say you were there! Whether you're into the performance, the looks, the gadgets, the assorted aftermarket goodies, the brand, the heritage, the community, all of it, just come on out! There've been weddings, unveilings, introductions, reunions, all sorts of crazy historic, epic stuff at the previous events. Why miss out when you could be there?? So in short, get off your rump and register already!
