So. That was one of the most awesome things I’ve done. I used to race pro late model cars around Georgia and none of that compares to the experience today. I got to share it with my wife which was great also. I’m a veteran and supporting the cause was awesome. Thank you to all involved in organizing it. It was definitely worth the price of admission.

Now, does anyhow have the website to the pictures that were taken???

thanks! It was nice meeting the few of you I met. I will be back next year....probably not in the same vette though. But we did reach some exciting speeds.

If you cancelled, Saturday turned out to be a great day.
For those who couldn't make it, here's a few pictures.

Friday it sprinkled, day was spent wiping the vettes down and discussing power adders....




Hello 911? We'll soon be needing an ambulance at.....














Mark, another great event as usual. Tim our intrepid photographer.












Thanks for your efforts Jeff.

Thanks Charlie I didn't know you were such a comedian!!! Ewwwww that engine shot is something else. You would think one of the faster cars in the group would clean that thing up sometimes. The 911 comment fit the moment pretty good didn't it???

The inside joke on the engine is hilarious. It only takes a few beers at the hotel to get the hood latch to say YES

You were right Clint, its all driver
