Looks like the front has come through early. So much for my plans tonight, but tomorrow should be great weather! Nice and cool in the morning should mean some strong dyno runs!

 

If the weather holds up I'm bringing out my new toy )

 

I'll be looking forward to seeing what it is!

See you guys in an hour!

 

Thanks for coming out guys! This was our biggest event to date.

Igor, loved the new toy.

Let's plan on grabbing a few Jucy Lucys after the Sept C&C. Everybody is welcome! Then a drive to burn off the 3000 calories...

 

Pics!!!!



















1 of 2 Ferrari 250 GT SWB coupes that showed up. This one was built in 1962, iirc.


The other Ferrari 250 GT SWB coupe. This was built in 1959.














Probably my favorite shot of the morning.

 

My ride for the day arrived...



Yours truly



AutoMotorPlex in all its glory with close to 500 cars in attendance for Cars & Cafe:













And back on the ground...



















More to come from the APS Dyno Day...

 

The M3s after having a few chances on the dyno













AtomicZ's badass track prepped C6 Z06






The only good shot I got of my dad's Camaro Z28 during its maiden dyno run. It made 320 rwhp and 335 lb-ft exactly on both pulls with just a catback exhaust and K&N filter, not even tuned. I was pretty happy that it beat all of the naturally aspirated M3s!



A quick M3cs photoshoot












As usual, more pics can be seen in my gallery HERE.

 

Alex,
Sick pics as always.
Thanks to all of you that made it out. We had a phenomenal turn out.
The Helicopter pics really capture that size of our event.
See you guys in Sept. We are working on setting something up with Stockhohlm raceway for an out door day of Karting after the next one. Stay tuned.

 

Great pictures. As always.

 

This has changed so much from the first one, I always regret I'm out of the area for the summer and miss these.

 

You could always fly into Flying Cloud Airport and have someone pick you up. I'm just 5 min down the road from there.

 

I'm in Lakeview Oregon today, last week I was working in New Mexico. They have me bouncing around the country like a gypsy this year. I do enjoy your pictures, I'm just stunned how much it's grown.

 

That was a lot of fun. I brought 4 new car crazy people who will probably inspire even more people to come.

The karting sounds like a great idea!!

The only thing that could be better than that - is holding an autocross afterwards...

 

What an event!

Also, the pictures are also just amazing!

Speaking of pictures, they say it's worth a thousand words - how 'bout just one "YIKES"! LOL. Great stuff Alex.

 

An awesome event that somehow seems to get better and better. The quantity and quality of cars is just outstanding.

Love the aerial pics.
