I am a tad embarrassed to say that he annoyed me standing in the middle of the road so I didn't swing out as wide as I should have and I made sure I revved the motor so he got the full exhaust sound. My tires also chirped for a nice multisensory experience. I did feel a little bad when I passed. (but not too bad )

Gotta agree, the supercharged 928 sounded incredible. I was only ear shot for about a half mile before everyone pulled away and it was just me and Flash going through. Next time ill bring my faster car

Even though i was playing catch up the first half of the drive, i still had a great time. The roads leading up to 17 were great fun and the sceneary was beautiful. No big deal about it either, i was one of the last cars out of the lot and pretty much hit every traffic light on the way out...not to mention i went about 3 miles out of the way because i didnt realize i passed the exit for route 4. Well that, and i only have 147hp... .

<snip>
Thanks!!

Hey Jon, we just got through looking at all your pictures, and they were great! Nice job! Thanks for taking and posting them. Glad you were able to get back to the group!

Ha ha...he was probably in shock from almost getting run down, and having his ear drums blown out by my exhaust, and was unable to move off the road after I went by him. In fact, when he saw the rest of you all coming after me, he probably peed his pants!! After the first shock, he got hit by 6 more, poor guy. What could he do but stand there gaping?

+ eleventy billion...of course, Carlos' girlfriend has us on tape. Maybe I should run back to the hills!


God, that was a great day. Leslie and I are still high from the rush of the drive! Thanks for everyone making it a terrific run!

Next time i will bring my digital camcorder and go ahead of the group. Ill stop at one of the parking lots on the side and record everyone blowing past. That should make for some good video .



I would love to hear that 928 on a flyby anyhow!

Wow I gotta say, for only attending for a total of 30min, I made it in 2 pics haha!
When first getting on 80, did anyone notice that 993TT that flew past us? Was that the "challenger" to the 965 that led you guys one exit too late?

Yeah, this guy was FLYING. I didn't have the gearing or HP for that dude. I think he timed it just right though and was already going as we were merging out.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I've got to finalize my pics and I have a short video of Kevin's car running and the muffler sound revving in the parking lot.

I had a great time and the return trip was definitely worth the price of admission. I think at one point trying to keep up with Kevin and the turbo guy in front of my (sorry, didn't get your name) I had all four wheels talking to me at once, that was interesting.

Great time, great people, great ride.

Thanks and it was great meeting everyone.
