It was an early start (up at 4a and on the road by 5:15.) It was great meeting some Rennlisters. My son was in heaven with all the P-cars and took a lot of pics, of course not one of mine. I did find one that Kevin Rohrer had on his photobucket pics. Below are some of the ones we took.

When we got to the I71 & I76 interchange, disaster almost struck. The interchange is in a dip and the rainstorm we were passing thru created a lot of standing water (>1-inch). I was only doing 70mph at the time but began hydroplaning. When Bev and I both felt the car swaying from side to side, I backed off to 58mph and went into the right lane. The hydroplaning continued and I let the car coast down farther until we were thru the area and traction returned.
Sorry I missed you. The Rennlisters' Gathering was a very popular among all of us and I gave Ron Thomas kudos several times for the great treatment we got....very special. Will organize it next year too. Lots of room in the elementary school parking lot so the rest of you come on down.
BTW Kevin, when I flew fighters in the Air Force we were told that hydroplaning occurs at a speed equal to 9 times the square root of tire pressure.
So if you're running 36 psi, getting down below 54 mph was a good idea. Just sayin.Hope you can join us all next year.

Evidently the dark blue 356 C Cabriolet belongs to his mother, as well. It was a family affair.

Some of my photos are shown there.
I had such a great time, I can't wait to go back next year.

Rennlisters - made it back to Atlanta late last night. Had a blast looking at all the enthusiastic P-Car owners. Actually found myself detailing the car at 6:15am ..... Getting ready for a great day. Will be looking forward to the trip next year.
Dan - thanks for the efforts and getting us in the middle row of the middle of the event. We were the envy of the entire show.

The hydroplaning equation (nine times the square root) is, of course, only an approximation but it seems to have been fairly accurate in his case. It's worked pretty well for me over the years too.

The red 997 C2S Cabrio in one of the pics that MPD425 posted is mine.
I tried to take a picture of all of the cars there, it took a while. With my wife and grandson with me, I didn't take the time and some were a little blurry. I think I only got 288 cars, just a few short..LOL
After I got home, I realized my camera setting was on "vivid" and the colors were all wrong. Next year, I should be ready.
I think my license plate holder got more attention than the car.
