Great pics so far! Sorry we had to leave early and miss the track tomorrow. The weather sure is great in Irvine but man, the drive home with 5 hours of 100+ degree temps really sucked!!
Joe and everyone involved, the planning that went into this event really shined. It was great!! Thank you to everyone that had a hand in it.

I have to dissagree with you-al. Elliot has a built in REV Limiter and it works on all his cars. It's set at about 4,800 RPM. I know because I was racing him once and saw what happens when he goes on the limiter. He Stutters.

I appreciate that, but I was watching you guys come at me from two corners away, and if you'd have lost it, I'd have been GONE. I was near the apex, about ten feet in, so you'd have had to blow it pretty big time to get me
Besides, I signed the waiver I'm still working on these photos... I didn't expect it to take this long!

Very cool ... kind of like Ernie and Sleepin shooting simultaneous videos at the 2007 Rt-66 run.
Hey, did anybody take pix at the awards ceremony? ... (like who won what)

I've got a bunch of video of the awards ceremony. Lots of clips, if there is enough interest I can put it together and upload it to youtube

WHOOO- WHEEEEE!
Oh man, I MUST make it to next years. I see Suzi and the Alien both made it, and those cars have been to Alybee-amey. Mine can make it, too.
Really great pictures- took a while to give each one proper review. It all looked like just a GREAT time.
OK- thanks for the teriffic pictures folks. I really appreciate your going to the effort to post 'em. Those that put this together have really done the deal. good stuff, yes.

My brother and I took a lot of photos, and some of these are stolen from others' galleries...

100.5 was in the 914 on the freeway on the way to the track. 113.5 is what the 993 recorded on at the track on Saturday (we early went to match the motorcycles).
It was hot!!! I need to get a trailer! (and a hitch for the X3...)

Yeah, yeah, I'm late!!
I made it home safely Wednesday night. The drive home wasn't bad.
Going through Indio was VERY hot (105+ 
)! Made it to Quartzite, and
stayed there overnight. Went to El Paso Tuesday. The last day was nice and
cool. I actually drove with the windows closed for the first part of the drive and
opened the driver's window halfway through. Finally opened both on the last leg.
The car was nice and cool for the final day . I just kept the speed down
for the rest of the drive to not overheat. I got an honest 33.9 mpg, and 32.6 mpg
on a couple of the legs home (GPS for distance, and careful filling for gas usage).
That's over 500 miles per tankful, quite impressive, except when the light goes on
and there are no gas stations for 40 miles!!
My dogs were happy to see me, even though my neighbor took good care of them.
I had a great time in California, as usual! It was fun to see everyone again. I'm
glad I brought Suzi back out! Hope y'all enjoyed seeing her (gotta put in a little
Texan talk!)...
I've been trying to get caught up here, laundry, built a 914 chair, trying to install
the driving lights I got out there (a story in itself), etc.
If anyone took any decent pics of Suzi running at Willow, can you send me some
high res pictures? I'd appreciate it!!
Thanks particularly to Joe Sharp and the other organizers of this event!! I'll be
back next year!!

Jeff; it was a nice little dejevu instructing you in Suzi. Thanks for bringing her all the way from Texas. That's what I call seat time!
