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

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.

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.
