2012 winners

I know it's not about the car show, but it's still cool to recognize those who did win and get to see pics of the cars (especially for those of us that didn't get to attend).

Anyone have pics of the winners?

Each time I see Robert and watch him drive I wonder to myself...is it the car? Is it the man? Then I realize, nay, it is the hat!

Sorry I missed this year. I've learned my lesson that (barring anymore accidents) my car will be take off the from from AFTER DGRR > September for projects.

Where are the pics of Jack's (Trouts) immaculate Chaste White Gorilla RE rolling billboard?

Congrats to all the winners, it's all about the community spirit and the driving at DGRR but the car show is an awesome part of the experience

We need pics of the crazy JDM AutoExe RX-8 that scored the mag feature

I 2nd this request. I spent too much time examining his set up and talking with him and did not get any pictures. Definitely one of the cleanest and most polished engine bays at DGRR.

You're kidding right?

I love my car and appreciate the recognition but I don't do this for awards. What I love about DGRR is the hanging out and of course the driving.

Thanks guys. I didn't take many good pics of mine at DGRR so I shot some yesterday for you. Good to see you again Rich and was nice to meet you Richard. You need to start working on Chuck and Kyle for next year.

Great job everyone! Despite the sidebar conversation here (nice taking the high road David), it looks like all gens represented beautifully. Would love to see the winning RX8 posted too...from the picsI've seen thus far, that group represented rather nicely this year.
