Tass, my buddy who came out a couple years ago is coming also. He'll be in his 993 C4, but we won't hold that against him

Sounds great Bob...We are only a couple slots away from 40 cars at this point

Leonard Laub will also be there with his engine in the wrong end of the car. Mighty fine ride though .....

What is the location of the hill climb? and approximately when do you expect to return to your house? There's no way I'll be there by 8:00am...mid-day maybe.

The hill climb is less than a mile from my place. I understand that most folks can't get there that early so I have arranged for second group to head over to the hill climb parking at what is so far being pegged at 10:00 AM. I will likely be able to slip some cars in at other times but that will require a break in the action and I really want to limit the number of times I ask for that.

Even if the hill climb schedule does not mesh with yours, come any way. We are doing the barn thing all day and night and its a hoot all by itself.

The hill climb is over at 2:30 - 3:00 and then we will return to the barn.

Address is 83 Bennett Road, Wilbraham Ma

I new you would like that one.....kind of makes you think of Slim Pickens riding the missle eh?

I was a bit uneasy about searching for bombs on craigslist but did actually find one Its a real surplus practice bomb that I stretched a bit. I have a leather bomber helmet with goggles to complete the experience.

Hi Gang!

Here is a quicky map to help with travel to and from the hill climb field. If you normally come into town via main and up Monson road, please be aware that the hill will be closed early that morning. This map will also show you the way around using mountain road and Glendale.

Looking forward to seeing you all

Tass

There we go.
Sadly, I wasn't successful keeping mine as white.

Hello from Maryland.

I still feel good knowing another one of these happened, I'm there in spirit.
I look forward to photo/vid recaps!

At least I won't have to grapple with the reality that comes with seeing pics that include my aging self!

Thanks Tass!
Maybe next time.

We had a great day in MA, the weather was perfect!
Dave and his wife are great hosts ,
and the whole place was top of the line.

There were beautiful 928s in attendance as well

The Hill climb was also very cool,
as we saw more than a few old time machines pounding out the power in the race to the top.

I got to take a ride in a modern 911 Tony has a terrific 911 50 Year anniversary model with a 7 speed tip ,
and it is one of the fastest cars I have ridden in, the machine is amazing and I recommend that every one takes a ride,
and make it include the launch control demonstration
Thanks again Dave and Florence
