A year ago this weekend we had rain. I reviewed my pictures of last year's event, I'd forgotten that we only had traffic cones for the Desert Fire lot and nothing in the the two northern lots. We thought then we had great turnouts just by filling the Desert Fire lot. WoW! what a difference a year makes! I attached a few pictures that show a few Audis displayed in what was then the "regular" parking area, but we could see where the event was going and decided to expanded the event.

I attached a few pictures to show scenes from the the month of Mar -09
Dyno event was Mar 7, a rainy day around Puget Sound
Later that week, it snowed.
The E@RTC pictures are from the end of Mar.

Thanks to everyone in the NW car community for making the event, and making this YOUR event to attend!

Yes, the event has grown for sure!!! :-)

Vic, I've been meaning to ask you for 2 years, what is the story behind your little bike with the training wheels you use for your avatar? I know there has to be a story there! hahahahhaa...

I had another great time! Tommy/Vic, I don't mind helping again with the parking. It seems we are getting some organization to it which helps it move a little quicker. I agree it will keep getting better and looking forward to seeing some fantastic cars.

Good question.
I was my very subtle bit of humor and the fact that I was newbie on 6speed.
Everyone has an avatar of their car, so I thought a cute little bike with training wheels fit into my car persona.

Maybe I should work on freshening up my avatar.

Good to see yesterday, Mike. The Countach is sounding and looking great!
I've heard a few Countach that were not in as nice of mechanical condition as yours..

Thanks Vic! One of these days, I'd love to put a new exhaust (Quicksilver, Larini, etc..) on it, but want to wait until next year when it hits 25 years old and I don't have to go through emissions anymore!

I was "Oooh-ing and Ahh-ing" over how clean your engine bay on the Scud was, and how easy it was to get to your exhaust system!!!

Thanks Eric! It was great having your help and it really went smoothly this time, thanks to you. We are getting better at it as we all figure out what cars to put where. By summer we will need the third lot for sure and a lot more help with cars.

Greeting all,
It was a very nice event yesterday. Sorry for not able to introduce myself formally yesterday during the event. I was driving the white 07 GT3 with the cup lip. After moving to WA from Bay Area, CA for a year and half, I finally came out from my little shell. Everyone of you was very friendly and helpful. I am looking forward to joining the future event. Hope to see you soon!

Cheers,

Edwin

I think I was using the 24-70 2.8L with a CP filter and the 50mm 1.4. I also have a 70-200 2.8L and 100mm macro, but did not use them.
