Great time was had by all. Lots of cars sowed up. Somewhere in the area of 30. There were a few counts taken, but some people moved in and out at different times.
Maybe someone can count when the pictures were up.
I'll do a longer write up later for everyone, and we'll host the pictures and video.
Short summary. We hit 110/115 coming out of the Hookset tolls, when 928GT thought he'd been passed, but he was in front. So he went burning hell for rubber to find the Southern gathering parade, when we were behind him. (the 944 that could couldn't overtake him).
The run up to the White mountains with everyone else was also spirited, hitting triple digits. Then we went into the mountains. First held up by a logging truck, then by peepers. But the worse was when we turned south when some sanctimonious minivan driver did his best to block the run, up to and including honking his horn at us.
He got his what for when Zeus, and a black 928 got in front of him and baked the tires engulfing him in tire smoke. The one thing I can say is that I’m sure we ruined his day 10 times more by just existing than he ruined ours. We couldn't go fast in the twisties, but the scenery was outstanding.
Thank you again for everyone that came out. Special Kudos to Gretch for letting us use his austere survival camp to meet up north.

I had a lot of fun with the mixed Porsche group we had. Finally got to meet the elusive Gretch, a gracious host at his place and a committed 928 owner. A hopped up 914 was no slouch on the road, and some nice 951s too.
I drove back to MA with Dana Johnston and his nice red '85 5 speed. We averaged 90 mph and got to stretch some 928 legs. Fun! and lucky...

What a great ride we had !!! Breathtaking views from Gretchs mountain home. Good people with great cars. The minivan was a pain,but the smoke was not intended for him. Dana had been behind me for a long part of our journey. As I slowed down for a red light he pulled up along side and chose to engage. I accepted and heated up the tires with my auto and launched or lunched the 5spd. It was fun except for the rock that cracked my windshield at 100+.
