Jager -

Thanks for posting the pics of my yellow "TTBEEST" out at Poppy Hills! Yes, I call it a TT - it's my car and I can call it what I want to!


Oh, and the seats are Recaros, not GT3s.... but they hug you tight just the same?

Couldn't make it to the track on Saturday, hope to run across folks on Sunday!

CHEERS!!!

When does this end? I was wondering so that I can wander out to 101 and watch the cars heading south again.

I'm just back after an amazing, great day. Saw Leno and Hurley Haywood, the amazing cars, the great races - it was so cool to see the 917's 908's (especially Brian Redmond winning!) and the fleet of 962's. The 917 space frame and engines in the Porsche exhibit, the 550's on the track, I could go on and on.

And...My son and I got a lap in the Panamera pace car.

I'll try to get some pics up and movies soon (they look a lot like those posted already) - but time to crash... wow - what a day!

What a GREAT DINNER with GREAT People. A perfect ending to a GREAT weekend. It's not often enough that we RListers can can get together like this for dinner .There were more of us, but the DC and others left early... something about a bachelor party?



I LOVE the pictures of the cars on the track/ It's one thing to see them in the paddock, but it's seeing them on the track that takes the cake! Thanks for posting them. Do yo u have more??

sounds like I missed a great time at dinner.
My kid was wiped out, long day for a 6 year old.
Off to the track...

Steve, maybe we will see you there!

Jerry S. was driving the 908 #12 with the two arrows on it. Sam Cabigilo was in the #20 917. Nice to have a friend like Jerry who lets you drive one of his toys I just wanted a ride in the sling seat.

Sam Strapping in:




Once again great track shots Loren. Definitely not taken with a palm sized point and shoot

I REALLY want one of these. Is that such a bad thing to want? It was parked on the hill with the rest of us plain old folks. My lil' MINI can be seen in the picture too. It's the one covered in a 1/2 inch of ash from the Lockheed fire:

How often in 'real life' does something like this pass you on the road?

Too funny to start catching up now that I'm home and on a real computer, with real broadband access............scrolling through and see a picture of me!

Why leave so early? Friend has a suite at the A's game today, so that pretty much obligated us.

But the multi-purpose RS America made it down, around (sloooooowly in all that traffic) and back just fine.

Have about 1000 pics to sort through and upload to one of the sharing sites.
