Awesome pics Fiel. Wish you had gone on the drive and to lunch with us.
I had a great time planning the meet and I'm glad you guys had fun. I was pretty nervous about such a big group going on a drive and although a few got lost here and there, I'm glad everyone made it to the restaurant and most importantly, got there safe. Hope we didn't terrorize too many bikers on the road. hahaha
I had thought 40 miles was a decent drive but I guess the freeway portion and straight-aways on Skyline made it go by pretty quick. There's another route that some of us have done several times which start at Bear Creek Rd off Hwy 17 and then to Hwy 9 that has mostly twisties and is a longer drive. We can try that next time or I can always get suggestions from members.
I want to give special thanks to the sponsors again for donating the prizes for the raffle. They had no obligation to do anything and did it purely because they are enthusiasts like us. Hope you guys look to them for future needs:
Joe and Nerwyll at Trinity Autosport
Jon, Cal and Justin at JLeviSW
Darwin at SonicMS
Bruce and Robb at BRRacing
George Rubio at Wyndham Hotel in San Jose
Chris at Roxio
Anyway, it was great meeting new enthusiasts and drooling over the Porsches. I still love my car but wish I had the money to park a 997TT next to it. haha Someday....
Take care everyone and hope to see/talk to you all soon.

Great turnout. Great pics. Well done Tony. Looking forward to seeing the So Cal members at Oh Dae San on Thursday. Just missed out on this one by a few days.
