Here's some shots from the air that will give you an idea how big this event is. These were taken a early Saturday before everybody had arrived.
Maybe some of you can pick out your vettes...

Thanks Jim,

I wanted some pictures from the air for this event but I'm not going back up in a helicopter, ever. An AF incident that I don't want to discuss.

You got a picture of my car in the forum area. For reference, it's the black coupe (of course). I'm sure you can see it.

Hey, again, it was great to meet you! Hope to at least see you in Bowling Green. Maybe we can get a couple of frosty ones together.

In the past, the flames have distracted me, I love those wheels. Where did you get them?

Thanks alot Jim. Pic #6 is directly over my club's parking. A perfect shot of all the club cars.
Here's to you.

The last car on the right is mine.

Randy, you beat me to it. That's an awesome shot, isn't it.

Hey Tom, thanks for showing me that nice little straight stretch of isolated pavement. That was some awesome triple digit fun!
Must have been the glare because it looked like you almost got air born on one of the humps in the road once....
