I pinged GroupMe at the time, but I'll double up here: After swapping the alternator out of Kary's car, Trin and I made it home around 5pm without incident. The car ran flawlessly! Thanks everyone who helped me out.

I'm going to try to do a piece for Flussig about Frenzy 20, so I'll be asking for names that I've forgotten.

I took some pictures. They mostly stink (I'm not a good photographer!), but everyone is welcome to them. Here they are: https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...G8?usp=sharing

Another great Frenzy!

Sorry I missed it. That's serious 928 metal in that Park. How many does Sharktoberfest generate? You are giving them a run.

This EastCoast group is getting out of hand -- in a good way.

Despite all the drama I (we) went through to finally get to Frenzy we had a great time again. Thanks to everyone who put this together. Between traffic and 6 stops, including one to pick up a new to me windshield (thanks Tim!) it took us 10 hours to get home but was well worth it. See you all next year!

I had a smooth uneventful ride home! Doing the parade laps at Summit Point was so cool, that made up for not driving the fun run.

Thanks, Stan. Nice to see you again, and thanks for the tip about the hood struts. Trin had a good time, despite the problems with the car. She says she's in for next year.

I am glad to hear that all went well after that.
Your car broke down at the best moment, if that is possible. All that 928 brain power concentrated in one area for one weekend.

Congratulations and many thanks to Greg for all the hard work in organizing and running the best Frenzy ever! 65 cars and 100 participants! Well done.

Great meeting a lot of new friends and seeing the old ones again, whether I remembered your name or not.

See you all again next year!

Thank you to all the organizers for such a great event. Me and my son have enjoyed ourselves. My son has a renewed interest in the 928 now, specially when he saw the family atmosphere at this event.
I am sad the event is over, already looking forward to next year.

It took us about 12 hours to head down and only 10.5 hours to get back, I guess we had a tail wind ! lol

Tom I did not get a chance to say bye before I left , but hope all went well, we will see you next year I hope.

Huge success, Greg! And I also want to thank your son and Jon, and other heroic volunteers and facilitators.

My first experience on a track produced so much adrenaline, I'm not sure my cardiologist would approve of anything more than parade laps.

Thank you, Alex, for providing a car that so challenged the legends of 928 mechanical legerdemain. I'm sure the smell of their magic potions will soon dissipate (cigar smoke and stale beer).

I myself overcame the emotional trauma of the Big Red Exclamation Point in - gasp! - northern New Jersey. I made it safely across the border to the Sloatsburg Thruway Rest Area, where a few twists on a loose clamp and a gallon of coolant extinguished the damned light.

I was on a tight schedule all last week, at Frenzy and in Williamsburg earlier, which I normally try to avoid. I will work on the video when I feel like it! I'll post a link here later. Shawn, Andre - if you can manage to send me more footage pronto, I can work it in. Regardless, I'd like to get it eventually for the larger effort. 192 White Schoolhouse Rd / Chestertown, NY 12817.

As always, one hell of a fun weekend. Thanks to everyone who put it together and the sponsors, I know how hard the behind the scenes work is, so congrats on a job well done. Great seeing all the usual friends and meet the new ones. Can't wait until next year.

If anyone was in doubt, (like I was) Patrick DOES have a 928. Here's some pictures as proof.

Great looking car Patrick!
