This is a Saturday evening only event. The IS-F will be able to be driven on the dyno in the evening only. This is the same event that was held here in SoCal this past weekend were every person who waited in line was able to drive and row through the gears of the IS-F on the dyno just past 100mph. You are only allowed to go to one or the other, not both.

Space to this event is limited so it is first come first served.

Unlike the daytime events, there are no huge waiting lines to drive the cars.

Is there a disadvantage to going at a later time of the day? I was originally planning on 1 PM on Saturday, but changed it to 3 PM on Sunday.

Remember this special event is "EVENING EDITION" not to be confused with the regular daytime event. The IS-F will be available to be operated live on the dyno from 7pm to 10pm only.

If you are looking to see the IS-F revved up and gunned to over 100mph on the dyno, the EVENING EDITION event is the only place you will experience it.

Sandbox? I thought it would be as simple as stepping out.

You can only go to one. If you want shorter lines, faster driving, and you want to see and ride in the IS-F in person...the evening edition is the one to go to.
