Just hit the couch here at home. Greeted to 104'F @ 830 in the evening! Taking in the Mtn air, the nice breezes and the sounds of blue jays was a treat sitting roof top at Dave and Jeanies place with a beer....dont get that around here. It was nice to have a moment to "take it all in"! Thank you for opening your house up to us all.

It will be repeated by many others but thanks again to Dave and Jeannie and all the others that helped behind the scenes to put on a wonderful event. The new venue was great and the Oz park was pretty cool and provided some truley stunning scenic views (see hackers pics). The Adcco swaybar tour was actually very interesting. I'm proud to have one of DRs "big honk'n" swaybars on the back.! They are each HAND MADE and INDVIVIDUALLY BENT by good old fashion machines and local hard work. A lot of time has been put into them and it shows!

Special thanks to Andrew who picked me up in Knoxville and "schlepped" me around for 3 days. I think i drove appx 400 some miles with him on the twisties during the event...with Murf, Brian and Kurt in trail. That was a treat, thanks again.

Lots of pics will be posted of the cars Im sure, but take a look at the pics Hacker has posted above...some great candid shots of the people and the good times that went on. Always great banter and BS among everyone...many funny stories and laughs. Thats what its all a about.

Until next year!!

That was a car owned by some wrecking company or guy..or something, Dunno...but it was NON RELATED TO THE EVENT. He decided to show up with it and offer it for sale. A few churned stomachs when we all saw it pull in...thankfully a false alarm!!
I think the only "mishap" was Captn Earls blown tire! When you see the tire you will know why..pretty spectacular!! No damage to his car though.

You need to get out there Randy. You can definitely make a nice vacation of it for week!!

Thanks to the entire group. Especially Dave and Jeannie. I had a wonderful weekend and my lowly 924S felt at home as well. I truly had a great time with a great bunch of car enthusiast.

Thanks DR and Jeannie. It was great to spend time with good friends. Biguns was back and I look forward to seeing him back in a shark. I've already booked my room for next year.

Looks like everyone had a great time! Wish I could have been there. Will do my best to be there next year with one of my cars. Would be great if someone could Pshop some names next to the people in the pics. I don't even know who Dave and Jeannie are though I am sure they are featured in some of the shots.

That car was owned by a member on here. 'Steelworker'. He bought the car in Fla, drove it up here and had a thread about putting the wheels on it; then he just dropped out of sight. It WAS a very nice car. I went to the wrecking yard that has it and looked at it. That hit got into the roof and A pillar. That cooled me & some others on getting it. Price $3995.00

That guy selling it was kind of a smart aleck (of course that is like the pot calling the kettle black).

I asked what happened when he stated a kid on a bicycle pedaled into the side of it and asked if I was interested in buying it.

I responded with the asking price on the windshield was obviously what you want before the bike incident… what do you want for it now?

The truth can be funny sometimes.

And a picture.

Why Uncle Mitch did not make it.
There are big rocks in the clouds ahead, he did try.
