Had a very good time. Spent way too much money on books and pictures. Met a couple of very nice people that may be good contacts for some future outings.

Great pictures, Earl. Thanks for posting. I spent a lot of time at Riverside, too, "back in the day". Gee, those guys look old. (Except for Linda) Guess I should talk. Sure brought back some great memories.

More pictures of Paul Newman's 351 Ford V8 powered VW Beetle. They had a tribute to Paul on Friday evening. Paul's younger brother was there. He took part in the reminscing along with a few drivers that raced with Paul.
