The drive was GREAT. I'd definitely come down for another drive if it's cool with all of you. I didn't cause any trouble, did I?

Car is pictured here:

Default Thanks!

Guys,

Just wanted to give a quick thank everyone who came out to support Anne's Place at this great event. Despite the cold there were no 'no-shows' and everyone made the event. I hope everyone enjoyed the drive and the spectacular facilities at Monticello Motor Club. Just want to thank them for letting us tear up the track a little bit.

Neil had informed me that we raised about $4000 for Anne's Place! Just our group alone we raised about $1300! That is awesome. Needless to say it was a success and we will continue with these type of events as long as our cars are running.

Here are the shots I managed to take:





We pay homage to our Forefathers...








Greg at work...


Ilko showing the tribal Porsche sign...


Caught this guy being transported in his raft!






Staging...


Simon...




Chuck...




Kem...


Willie...






Enjoy!

Here's the severely edited last video clip.
There was quite a bit of boring, local traffic footage that was removed.
This video started after the rest stop, but ran out before we got close to MMC.

Interesting you caught me talking to Will DiGiovanni (left) of Precision Motorsports in Califon. He was there shaking out some of his customers cars who are members. Nice job to have to come up and drive on the track while getting paid to make sure your customers cars are up to speed.

BTW Will was just appointed to the PCA national tech committee. If your around his area I would stop in and say hello, he is an excellent mechanic.

Heres my photos from Sunday... I'll start with the cream of the crop... I snagged a few nice snaps of Bob's 997 and Craigs GT2 on the cruise up, and then some great trackside shots of Arrwin in action, as well as a few others whom I dont know. You cant beat Fall foliage to bring out the best in beautiful road pictures. Of course it dsnt hurt when the cars are gorgeous too.

Its my pleasure to share them with you all. If anyone fancies high resolution copies, please contact me directly, and we can arrange your obtaining them. I am a professional photographer, and I earn my living thru images such as these. I simply request my shots not be spread around the web without permission. Some of these shots wld make awesome prints and posters, and I can assist with that.

Since most folks here dont know me, I am a long time friend of 993Guy's and Arrwin's.

Enjoy...

The rest of these are just fun snaps as we cruised up and back. I tried to capture the essence of the beautiful scenery as it unfolded...

My standard disclaimer on the last shot is its a fake... a photoshop enhancement.

I promise E wasnt traveling more than the posted 55 limit.

Thats all!
