The Joy of OCIC and one sad note.
Wow! Marc White and Teri Knebel really know how to throw a party. What a great time and thanks to Mo for letting us use his shop and his help keeping some sharks driving. Note to self, any thought of using Butane/Propane mixes for refrigerant has been "explosively" removed from any consideration. Sure hope Louie Ott makes it back OK without any further complications.
On a sad note, many of us found out that Bill Hapke passed away last week. What a great guy. He will really be missed. But he was there with us in spirit (see attached). I hope that everyone who was lucky enough to meet him will take a moment to reflect on some of the fun moments we shared with him at various events, and say a little prayer for him.
Regards,
John Eifert

As Jay Kempf says, "It started out about the cars, but it's really about the people". Well here are three of my favorite people who just happen to help me enormously in keeping my cars running.

I'll second and third JE's comments. Betsy and I had such a great time. Marc and Teri put on one fantastic event, and there are many others who helped make it happen and thanks go to them too. I just wish there was more time to mingle.
Events like this add to the enjoyment of owning a Porsche 928 ... great people and great cars ... what else can I say.

Thank God it happened on the dyno.

Hi John:
Now I can finally put a face to the name! Great to meet you, and I look forward to reading many more posts from you and seeing you again at other 928-events! Enjoy your new 928-toys!
PS: I think someone took pictures of Louis' burning car and the rescue efforts. Maybe they will be posted here. It was pretty scary to see these huge flames!
