The third sounds good to me. ill join in with the newbie croud. ive got a buddy who wanted to come but he wants to bring his 2000 camaro. i figured since it was a chevy id ask if that was cool. if anyone has any objections he is cool with riding shotgun with me. so i guess im just waiting for the date too! lets hear it.

Since I am coming from Colorado Springs I will head back to CS once we hit Woodland Park. Are we going to hit Sonic in Woodland Park like last year?

Sorry I was hoping it was going to be next weekend, I have a better offer on another cruise to the mountains this weekend. Maybe the next one.

Great to see everyone yesterday.. Was a real nice day for a drive.

We got into some real nice sections with no traffic where we could utilize our cars strengths

Was lots of fun adding in an extra leg to the run and then ending at the Golden Cruise.

Hopefully those that missed it this year can join us next year..

Oh and sorry, I do not have any pictures to post, too distracted with the fun drive and talking with everyone.

Great! Love to do the Aussie Run. Little bit of everything, curves and speed. Sometimes both at the same time.

Thanks Jennifer and Sean for putting it together again.

No pics from me as I didn't have a copilot.

See ya on the next one!

We were only able to enjoy the first half but it was a great time.

Have a few pics of the parking lot ... a little busy the rest of the time ... but pics are at home and I'm at work so posting will have to come later.

Many thanks to all involved.
