Thanks for the pics. With finding parking at Great Falls edging toward getting there the night before
I'll add North Bethesda to my route home!

OK, we'll get this out of the way first - there was another Veyron at Katie's today. Not a VW of America vehicle, this one is privately owned, with foreign plates. The car has 'presence', but I'd hesitate to call it beautiful. An impressive piece of engineering.

Clear and cool, a terrific morning for Northern Virginia in mid-August. The parking lot had been dug up for some drain work, and it was REALLY dusty.
We did find out that, if you want to clean up a dusty parking lot, just send a car with side pipes through... it really effectively cleans it off the surface - and puts it in the air.
An amazingly diverse bunch of cars today!

The parking lot at Katie's is being worked on, but at least it wasn't dust-covered, like it was last week. The asphalt was all cut up, though. Still, there was a crowd there early, and the parking lots eventually all filled up - all the way around the block.
One interesting vehicle was the 1959 Cooper T-51 F1 car. This one actually competed in F1 in 1960 & 61.
Also there today, Jeff's Lotus Elan +2 and an Amphicar.

Week-to-week, we regulars never know what to expect come Saturday at Katie's, and holiday weekends throw another variable into the mix. While good weather certainly helps, you never know who is out of town for the holiday. This Saturday, we lucked out - very good weather, and a good turnout, of a great variety of vehicles. The first photo, to me, shows the breadth of what you can see at Katie's. Yes, that's a tubbed-out drag racing Nova, following Allie's F40 out.

Not my picture, but thought it was worth sharing.
