    Has it ever been? Forum fest is the only car meet I have seen where the track is open. They do drag and drift usually.

    You guys don't remember the track being open for parade laps last year? People were behaving like idiots, spinning, and crashing... On parade laps. I remember thinking it seemed like a terrible idea when I learned they were allowing such a thing to be made available, and sure enough, someone crashed.

    Between those antics and the big crash with the Volvo just outside PR property, it's no wonder they've dialed it back this year.

    They are planning on doing the hot laps again this year, yet with a tail car to keep people from slowing down just to take off and out of control. Last year was a start , this year should be improved. Yet, you can't fix stupid.

    I have gladly participated in all of the early toy runs but only a few of those done at Pacific raceways, because the hooligan element is just too predominant. I think ToyRun is a great idea, well meant, great cause but badly practiced by some immature participants. Though I'm glad my car carries some ToyRun decals, I will find another place to deliver the toys. Many thanks to the organizers and best wishes. Especially thanks to our proud selfless Marines.

    I'll go, donate some toys, watch some hooligans crash their cars and drool over some nicely built cars.
    Some of you guys take life WAY to seriously.

    Sure hope they are not doing hot laps. They shouldn't even allow slow speed parade laps. There's just too much risk of property damage when you have a bunch of people with no track experience out there. Most of them are probably running on summer and/or bald tires in the cold rain, etc. Then some people want to show off their Forza skills, and boom, you end up with crashed cars.

    If they are going to open up the track again, I do hope it is better managed and people are better behaved.

    They should allow only people with prior track experience to do the hot laps. Maybe have a sign up in Motorsport reg and charge like $10 per person to raise more money for charity.

    Edit: @ forza experience. I can see it now....."ok ok guys, proof you have 100 driving skill and up are required. We'll let guys that don't use any driving aid with 50 and above in too."

    Have to say in the only defense only 1 person went off the track last year. It wasn't as bad as it looked. And there will be police patrolling the event to make sure people are not driving like idiots. The accident with the volvo last year was that someone jumped out in front of him like an idiot. Hopefully that will be deterred with the police there.
    the track will be opened again this year, it was a huge success.
    only a couple days left.... see you all there. Check out the facebook page for news about the event.
