Tracking (and thus the event) are rain or shine. Real driving talent shines in the wet..... haven't you seen the trailer for Rush?

 

I just sent a payment. I will be attending with my FD and my twin brother Jason (Reckless.)

 

Jonas, that's great news! Be good to see you guys

IMPORTANT DIRECTION INFO:

Processed a bunch of photos tonight. Tried to get pics of everyone's cars. I have more I havnt yet processed. If you want a pic of your car I most likely have one. Just PM me a description of your car and your email address.

Here are some of the pics i took from today's meet. Unfortunately, i had my hands full with the kids so i didn't really get to meet anyone, but hopefully next time. it was nice to see all the rx-7s and 8s today though.

 

 

 

The only picture i regret missing out on taking was XLR8's engine bay...it really does look even better in person!

 

Nice pics.. looks like a good time

 

Thanks to all for a great turnout and another successful event..... the raffle was a huge hit, and we raised another nice sum to donate to the JDRF in Chris' name

Special thanks to my mother Joanne and aunt Barbara for their tireless efforts during the day, and to Ron & Karen, Judie & Zane for making the event a priority and all their support and help. Thanks go out to Mike Mauro (Mr. ZoomZoom) for his help during the day, serving as pro cameraman, and sharing his thoughts on Chris with the group.

The car show was very tough this year with many quality FDs

Here are the winners:

Best Stock FD: Marc Huether (2 Rotor) with his prisitine low mile BB R1
Best Modified FD/Performance: Garrett Taynai (G's 3rd Gen) with his high-hp SSM Base
Best Modified FD/Appearance: Josh Williams (XLR8) with his mint MB beauty
Best in Show: Shaun Wells with his super-clean Mystichrome Purple FD

Making his win even more impressive, Garrett drove all the way up from Daytona FL for the event!

I'll post more on those who tracked and give more details later in the weekend..... I'm off to NYC for a fun day with a bunch of rotary nuts

Mike, feel free to post up your awesome shots here in the thread!

P.S. My mom took an iPhone vid of all of us running the parade laps on Pocono, with some tech assistance from Mr. Frascone I hope to upload it soon

 

Those pics came out great!

 

I took a bunch of photos. I uploaded almost a hundred of them. I am still messing with a few and make sure I got most of the cars that were there represented.
If you want a full resolution photo of a pic you see here just PM me the car or photo you want.

I know! LOL

 

Almost forgot the Group Shot!

 

Got you covered. I Found a few

 

Look like it was an extremely successful event. Wish I could of made it.

 

Such an awesome event! It was great seeing some old friends and making some new ones. As some of you know, my wife and I are moving to MS next year, but we will still try to make it out!! I'll have an enclosed car trailer by then, so it will get some use.

 

Something else I have been meaning to mention. There was someone who was working on Chris's car behind the scenes and never talked about it or took credit for making Chris's 20B project a reality.

Chris had mentioned it to me when I stepped away from working on RX7's so I havnt really given it much thought until yesterday at the memorial. I was reminded also talking to Ihor last week when I went by IRP to pick up some Work wheels I had ordered.

Rich also reminded me how much time Ihor spent working on that car with Chris. I felt like it was important to mention it. He is probably as responsible as anyone for getting the car to where it was and allowed Chris to enjoy it before he passed away.

I know you don't need any pats on the back Ihor. Also thanks for being there yesterday.

Found a few more worth posting. It was very well done. Thanks to all the effort by Rich, Rich's Mom, Marc, The Sponsors. Sakebomb Garage, RX7.com and everyone who helped out.

 

Looks like you guys had a great time

 

Looks like this was another awesome event that I missed (getting ready for my wedding in less then two weeks - that and work has pretty much taken up all my time for the past year or so). I hope everyone had a good time.

 

Thanks! but i'm glad you were out there taking pictures too because your's came out 10x better! btw, sent you a PM re: some pics.

 

Thanks for putting the event on! I wish I had more time to meet more people but it was still very nice to put a few names to faces!

....So where is next years event?
