Way tooooo busy partying to post pictures. Saw tons on Facebook.
Lots of action - mostly good but some bad. We lost one 928 to the ditch gods and I just hope it is savable.
Weather was amazing. Lots of 140 + driving.
We thought the weekend started well with no breakdowns on the way to MF. However on the way back it was different.
Mercedes Diamond Blue right front tire started de-laminating. Put on the 30 yesr old space saver and it got us home.
I am sure more peeps will post soon.

928 Owners are ".....a secret sect of quietly assured Porsche pragmatists who in near anonymity appreciate the prodigious, easy going prowess of the 928."
Awesome weekend! Thank you Roger, your family and staff for putting this together! It takes a lot of behind the scenes work to pull this off and just wanted you to know we really appreciate it.
Also thanks to the sponsors for making this happen: 928s R Us, 928 Owner's Club, 928 Doctors, Classic 9 Leather Shop, DRBlast, Project Nine, Patman Racing, OCD'tailers and Randall Kara Techniques.
Great people, cars, food and weather. Here's some pics: (the doe was hanging around James' 78 pascha late Friday night.)
As always, had a freaking blast. Except Sunday morning and I entirely blame it on Harvey for bringing out the Fireball. I'm still not feeling 100% after Saturday night. A few of us started in Austin Thursday night and what happens in Austin stays in Austin. Cough....cough. That town is weird but we are going to make it a yearly thing now, between a concert, the bars, the homeless, the 2 block Uber ride so we could avoid the homeless under I-35, and a ton of bars, was a night to remember.
Huge thanks to the event organizers and sponsors who make it all happen. It was a lower car turn out but the population was as large as always and after all, it's the people who make these events what they are.
Our first meet up, one 928 and daily drivers for most.

BIG Thank you to all involved putting this wonderful event together. Fantastic time as always. T
As usual it was an outstanding time! Great cars, food, driving and comradery. Thanks again to all those who do so much work to plan and make this event happen. And to Roger and his crew for all of their generosity. It is so much appreciated!!!
truly a great weekend. I got to know a bunch of you better & met some of you for the first time. And like last year, I learned a great deal of good stuff about these awesome 928's. My parts list is forever expanding.
thanks for welcoming my gal, Anne & me into your family. Even at 50 i called my mom on the way home to tell her about the weekend & our best in show award.
David
Sean I will accept the blame for your "condition". Y'all can call me Fireball Harv if you want. It was a great time for me. Got some one on one time with Roger the week before, and had a blast helping him and his family. It was also a pleasure to be the lead car for the trip down in a 2012 Toyota Tundra. I could not ask for better friends and co-conspirators in crime than my 928 peeps.
It was great meeting some more people this year. Brad, Brent, Pickle, Amy, David, Malcolm, plus all the folks I met last year or at other events.
Roger, Mercedes, Miguel, Zane, and the cats and dog. Thanks for letting me spend time in Double Oak and getting to know Y'all better.
I will post pictures later, heading to Fargo ND in a few minutes.
Well 3rd Coast didnt end well for me. Got up early to go to Corpus Christi to see my son who is stationed there. Cruising down 281 at 70mph and 4 deer in road. I tagged a small buck, on the first weekend of hunting season!
Was in a rental, Challenger SRT 6.4L hemi, pretty significant damage to front end and surprisingly airbags did not deploy. Radiator leaking, radiator support pushed back about 3-4 inches, hood buckled. I'm ok, and waiting on AAA to come fetch me.
Dang Kevin, bad deal! Glad to hear you were still able to make it down to see your son for the day. Could have been worse, you could have been in your GTS!
Finally unloaded the truck and opened the cooler, damn near the same amount of booze I showed up with. Missing 4 beers and 2 bottles of wine. So wrong.
