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!

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...

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. :)

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.

Alex - Great pics as always. It was good to see you again. I told you you would break 300whp easy ;)

Luis - Pleasure to meet you. Thank you for putting on such a great show for enthusiasts.

Woodster - Thank you for taking some time to talk to me. Your car is gorgeous and now you have swayed me back into looking at 996tts.

And to the old man not on the forum (Dick?) who let me sit in his Ford GT, you made my day.

Thanks. It is covered in rubber from 4 days at VIR. I'll have to get the "ghetto fab" hood painted pretty soon.

Sounds like you had a good time, saw some cool cars and meet some good people.
