By the way, Bill, how did you do in the concours? You were the only 951 I saw brave enough to enter, but not sure who they had you up against? Did you get a trophy?? You car has never looked better!

Hey Tom,
After a week of washing, polishing, waxing, my car took a first! The judges were really cool and walked me through everything they looked for.
I have say the car is way more fun driving than spending hours in the garage rubbing on it. The real reason I entered?......so I did not have to park in the car lot...it's the truth, crazy huh?
I am bummed we did not get to chat more. I looked for you after you said hello, but you must have split. I wanted to ask you about your speedo correction. We need to hook up dude.
It was a great show with lots of great guys. Some really good conversations were had with Dave W a tunning genius, about having him fine tune my new MTune setup. I also met a really smart Cal Berkeley engineering student (sorry forgot his name) who may take on a cool project. He discussed the possibility of 3D printing a 3" factory air box snorkel, then using it to form the final snorkel in carbon fiber! This will complete my 3" tip to tail stealth MAF setup. Really cool stuff!

Happy to get together anytime, and happy to make up a speedometer calibrator if you need one. The Cal Bear was Ethan -- part of a father/son team seen on the left in that picture above. Great guys (and Go Bears!).
