You should be able to cancel your current daytime registration and sign up for the evening one in place of. Let me know if you have any issues, I will see what I can do to help.

I registered last night for the NJ event. I am wondering if there is an e-mail confirmation I need to bring with me to the event? Has anyone gotten and e-mail confirmation?

This is true but I'm taking dad, brother, girlfriend to the daytime event and they can't go to the evening one. Plus I figured I would leave work a little early to check out the evening event.

For those who went to the evening edition in NJ Saturday night, was this event above your expectations. I know for myself it was way above my expectations. I don't think there were more than 40 people there and I was able to do the dyno twice and drive every car multiple times due to the lack of people waiting in line. This event was a 10 in my book.

What speed were people able to achieve on the engine dyno? I think I got close to 115. I didn't look at the speed until it was over and slowing down.

Sorry, I was not watching the Speedo as I was concentrating on the Tachometer and on the shifting speeds and bummer didn't watch the speedo.

This is my observation
1) I saw the Is-f at U.S open and also at the lexus event and IS-F looks very nice and agressive with very supportive seats . The demos had white seats but I like black better
2) Upshifts: On the Dyno , the upshifts were very quick, you click the rght paddle and the gear changes instanataneously, no lag etc
3) Downshifts: The Lexus rep downshifted with the gear lever to show the throttle blipping feature and that was quick with a nice blip sound
Not sure what happens when u downshift 2 gears quickly( by using the gear lever or by tapping the left paddle twice ) and how fast the shifting happens
4) Sound: The engine sound was very nice, like a good v8 with a good bass tone

now we have to wait for test drives by experts on handling, steering feel, ride quality and down shift speeds etc.
