Just got back from the gap. I could only make it up for one day. Thanks to all who helped make this happen. And especially to Reese for carting me around the gap in the 20B, it was freakin awesome.

Well, I'm just sick I missed this event. My boss sent me to Milwaukee for training for two weeks (guess where I am). Then my son (sacker90) was going to be there..his clutch went out on his new FD two days ago.
Anyhow, I know you said if we couldn't be there to get the shirts..too bad. I understand completely, but I sure would like to have them, I had one for me and son.
Any way you might reconsider and ship? I'll gladly pay, of course.
Thanks for putting on an event I'm sure all enjoyed.

YEah, for some reason my left arm got burnt twice as much as my right...must have been all the driving.

Damn, driving almost 2 hours there and 2 back, plus 2 runs through the gap will really tire you out. We left early so I could come back and work a little bit, but I wound up going to sleep instead

It was good to see everybody, those that I had time to talk with, anyway. I got rushed by about 10 people as soon as I pulled up, so sorry if I didnt get to talk to you.

Few pics I took

Had a good time, nice event didn't know but a few of you but felt right at home, even with my conversion.

Here is my briefcase link, I've shared the folder, hopefully Yahoo will let the full size images open. If not I'll throw up a quick page on my own website and update this post, in the morning.

What a fine day it was too..

More conversions.
There were a lot of Immaculate rides there, I couldn't stay long enough to get a shot of all of them.
Hope this meet happens again.

That would be cool, only Neg would be the area gets slammed October and November by tourists and locals checking out the wild autmn colors.
But I'm sure we could elbow our way in there.
