I didn't take many pics this year. Having too much fun I guess. I even had a photog (Thom Ewing), in my passenger seat and forgot to take ANY in-car road shots. Although Thom was pretty busy clutching his seat rails.

Here's some pics...

Everyone got some stickers.

The hot spot on Friday night for chicken fried steak. Notice the for sale sign for the Ford tractor.

We had a Boxster (from Jackson, MS), and a 944 in the rear of our group.

Dennis Carter's teener. About the nicest 914-6 I have ever seen.

Not my favorite wheels or mirror but it all works well together. Did I mention it has a 3.2?

Clay's "ride". It doesn't necessarily show in pics, but in person, the red piping of the interior is pretty subtle and unexpected. I like it. A perfect touch of pimp.

Nice installation details. That breather reminds me of my old 911E.

Ol'Sparky. With the narrower rear tires I stiffened the front bar and added 8# of air. Fortunately it was very neutral and required no further adjustments. The Hankooks stuck REALLY well. No problem hanging with the sixes. They may have got a bit greasy the last ten miles to Mena, but it may have been my imagination, or the pebbly road surface. They were being pushed.

It looks like it was a fun event. Good people and nice cars. Thanks for posting the photos.

I love this license plate. I guess I am not the only one with friends at the DMV.
Would the owner please send me a PM.

That is Mike Floyd's six. He told us about the plate. Seems he got lucky and the lady at the license plate office was willing to look through the plates they had. She found that plate, and he snapped it up.

At first glance, it looks like it says 914 6.

I like it, but I won't have classic plates on my car.
