We had a great time! As always Bill, (Bev) put on a great feast. The cars looked awesome! Only three were for sale. Look forward to seeing everyone at Shark's at the Lake.

Another wonderful gathering, with great weather and even better food! Huge thanks to Bill for hosting this event yet again. And thanks to the sponsors that donated the raffle prizes....Devek, 928 International and HookedOnCars.com .....(hope I didn't forget anyone.) This was a great start to the 928 summer event season.

BTW Brian....the ex-Callaway is a 1980, not 1981 .....and now I have just over 14,000 miles

Many thanks to Bill for hosting this event as well as the generous raffle donations from the sponsors. The raffle "goods" really raises the event to something more "official".

This was our first shark meet (or is it meat?) and I am happy to say my family thought it was the best P-Car event they have attended. Super friendly folks they said.

I was sorry to not be able to drive in the fun run but we had some other errands for Saturday and "Bruce" (our GTS) was just out of clutch surgery and still needs some things attended to before we are truly good to drive this season.

See everyone next round...maybe I can drop into SATL if my work that weekend at Tahoe-Donner permits.

;^)

My "SHARK" Bottle opener works great! The prize for the most used shark but not used up!

191,000 miles is worth a bottle opener



Cheers to Bill and Bev for an fantastic event again!

Awesome pics! And it was great meeting everyone! (I was the tall guy in the brown shirt with no p-car). I have some pics, but the parents jacked the camera so I won't get them online for a couple of days.

I wish I had gotten a recording of that idiot throwing insults with andre, that was pretty hilarious.

Looks like an excellent turn out and awesome pics George!

Very nice '80 Rich, but why is it an "ex-Callaway"? I don't think I'm going to like the answer.

And, whats the story with the widebody?

The widebody was for sale at this event last year.The new owner brought it back to show it off this year. In person it is difficult to spot original shark bodyparts on it .Interesting lines on that car.

Quick answer....owner has Callaway put first turbo on a 928, then dies. Wife brings car out west, then blows engine. Devek gets the car, then I buy it. Put all the Callaway pieces into boxes, and install rebuilt 84 Euro S engine. I run it in a couple Open Road Races, then get an S-4 for race duty. 1980 ex-Callaway turbo is now a garage queen.....


George, those are awesome pictures yet again!

As the humble winner of the kids choice "cleanest car that looks like it gets washed more than I take a bath award" I did get some really cool locking Porsche valve caps!! I'm just glad I beat a certain namless 89GT for the award!!!! :>)

The winner

A lot of fabulous pictures there, George! Some more excellent business card/calendar shots. I really like this one. You can see NINE 928s snaking down the road if you look closely.
