The total package for the Spring 16 Smokies event is amazing. A great group of people, cars and sponsors all of which will have a lot of fun while supporting a most worthy charity. It really doesn't get much better than this. Hats off to Sean and Mayur.

It's going to be epic. There is so much to do and so many cool things to see. The sponsors this year have been incredible. It's almost smokies time!

Last tally was that we had ELEVEN 991 GT3 RS (wow!). 41 991 GT3 (yowza!) 1 918, 3 997 GT3, and 5 GT4.

Well, we do have one guy driving from Seattle and another from So Cal. So.... no excuses. Next spring will be insane I'm sure. We are hoping that some more west coast peeps join us.

We expect the sense of euphoria to continue through the entire trip, with the highlights obviously being at the event itself. Thanks for all the organizing Sean, Mayur, and your mobile data provider!
Awesome!!! Enjoy bud!
