Looks like a great turnout! How many cars altogether?
I would have wanted to go but lots going on at home. At least I got to meet some of you guys
Perhaps next time. Too bad I wasn't able to chat with you. Heck, I didn't even get to meet you.

I'm in...it's great to see such a huge turn out, but would also be nice to have some smaller meets too.

That was a CRAZY hectic day, but would not change a thing...I feel thankful to be in one piece after I almost made 530iSport smash into me at 70-80mph once I discovered a Closed Road Sign in my grille

But, it was the greatest gift of the day (besides winning Bruce's free Wash and Wax) cause we had a closed track for 4.8 miles*2 with the greatest twisties and ups/downs...The funniest part was coming up to the road with no bridge...slamming on brakes and then having 30 cars make a -turn on a tiny single lane road...

I can't wait for the DVD Video Kerry! That will be my BDay present.

Thanks to all for the great day and we all made it home safe...1 speeding ticket, I believe for the Blue Vette...Who was that??

Road closed and bridge out did have me worried for a moment...I had this Dukes Of Hazard image in my mind as we were slowly cruzin through the twisties... we could have got the airborne car shots there Was a great drive, even better than the last time when the bridge was there.

Shame about the ticket...no idea who that was though.

Next time you have to make it. Maybe we'll even do a mini NJ meet soon.

I think we had over 40 cars there...

Props to Gregg for handling the pressure of being the lead guy

And 1 ticket? Besides that silver Lancer when we got into town to get gas? Oh man that sucks

But you know, a ticket is a ticket. Rather be that than an accident like we had at the last big-ass drive.

Many thanks. I must admit, I was panicing quite a few times thinking, I got 50+ cars all counting on me and we had a Renisance Fair, tractor trailer blocking a single lane road straight up 1200 ft mountain...construction on the mountain...tuff u-turns... road closures...Road with Bridge out...COPS everywhere...An Army Football game...and a parking lot that was already full...

YET, at the end ofthe day, thanks to patience, Calton talking me down and being very easy going and the rest of you knuckleheads following me (hahaha), we had the best time...

Next time, RALPH (Bimmer 722) leads!
