Always room for new faces and vettes.... I put in a call to LRP asking about the cut-off time for the show on the main straight, but have yet to receive a reply...
Maybe we'll wind up in the parking area, which is still OK for me... See you all at Scarpelli's!!

Last year I showed up at noon, had no problem getting in. I may be wrong but parade laps are only on race days.

I might be late, got caught in the rain at a picnic and just got home. Likely I'll just go to the track from home. Dan

No parade laps that I know of Sunday. I did 2 laps in the '64 today during the lunch break between races.

I wouldn't be too worried about being on time on this, I went last year, didn't get there until 10:30 at the earliest and I was still on the front straight, I don't think they went much past the bridge. (It's not like the space is limited, at least for the # of cars that showed up) -Dan
Time to get up and wash your car Dan. We're finishing breakfast now.
On target for 9:00 departure.

WOW, John... three pics of the " Jake" on LRP's website. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...5954002&type=1 No Trophy, but quite popular. (at least with the photographer..
) Great to see the Posse again. I don't remember the service being so s-l-o-w at the lunch-diner...
We'll scratch that one for future stops.... See you soon.

Thanks goes out to Kyle who led us through some "twisties" after the show. (At least until we ran into some parade traffic.)

Great time yesterday, beautiful venue, good company and a fun ride home. Thanks John for setting it up, Dave & Deni for a good (but long!) lunch spot and Kyle for picking the appropriate spots for a fun ride back. Don't know if you guy's noticed but a vintage AC Cobra hung with us down most of 7, made me smile when I dared look in the rearview mirror Tried but gave up trying to load a few pics, it's either photobucket sucking or my computer. Till next time.........
