A GREAT time was had by all! Thanks, Dan, for all the organizing and being the perfect host! As a Porsche newbie (I've only owned my 951 Turbo S for seven months now) I continue to be impressed. The car is surprisingly FAST and handles great! The people are fun too! Highlight of the day had to be when, while going 120 mph, I was passed like I was standing still by a 993 Turbo. <img border="0" alt="[nono]" title="" src="graemlins/nono.gif" /> Hmm...I sense more trouble for my bank account in the future. Thanks again.

Okay, back in the saddle so to speak. The run was fantastic. Great cars along with great people. The turn out was terrific with 20 or so Porsches making the trek to SB.
We had a everything from my 71 2.2 to 993 TT pulling like some unreal amount of HP. Those TT were just wicked. I have a hard time posting pics to this board so I will attatch some links to the threads on Pelican that show some pics. Danno said he should have video available soon.
My thanks to everyone who showed up and I hope a fun time was had by all.
Here are the links to pictures. Check them often as people will be adding alot more.

PLEASE DO try and keep these runs active. I am so very sorry that I missed this run as I have two down 928s, but I am sure if there are a few this summer, I will be there with a smile on my face.
Thanks for the pics and vids.
