It was great to meet everyone, and David did a great job organizing. Lets do this again when Skyline is not being repaved, and there isn't a fatal accident on Hwy 1. Sheesh. What great cars and nice people!

Great drive despite the detour, I enjoyed meeting everyone today and I apologize to anyone whose name I screwed up, or forgot!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend folks, and I hope to see you at the next one.

Unfortunately I did not make it to lunch because my right rear tire blew out while driving on Page Mill Rd. I heard this loud pop and TPM immediately warned me that my right rear tire is 32 PSI below normal, which, according my calculation, would make it exactly zero! I stopped the car and checked the tire, and saw this gash on the side wall. I called AAA for a flatbed tow truck, and called a local tire shop to see if they carry the tire of the same size and brand. Fortunately, they do and I had my car towed there.
It costs more than a 2-day DE for me....oh well.

Thanks everyone for braving the weather and endearing through the construction roads. Your company really made the day.
Henry, I'm glad a tire shop was able to get you back on the road. It happens a lot on narrow roads. AAA is a great investment indeed. I see you have a small curb rash. I got a mobile body repair guy if you like to get that fixed.
Here are some pictures that I took. Again, many thanks for everyone being a trooper. Look forward to the next meet. I will be going to the Diablo Porsche Club drive on 11/10 if anyone is interested. Roads will be similar and newly paved by then

David, I think you mentioned that PCA Diablo Region is having a drive Saturday 11/10. I don't find it on their calendar, but do know Golden Gate Region is having one that same day. The route is very similar to what we did.
