For what its worth, there are several roadsters racing this year. I'll be down crewing for my friend Tim on his car. I think Steve Link will have his roadster there as well.

There is a S800 racer and Steve Link's roadster too. The Froula GT-R is pretty crazy:

Alvin,
Great to meet you and Tim. First time to the Reunion and I am blown away by the cars and how great the people are. Good luck today to Rob with the Z. I will be back at the track tomorrow. This is a must do event and would urge anyone that has even remotely thought about it to not put it off. To see the cars come through the corkscrew all bunched up is quite the thrill.
The Hako is parked in the Racecraft paddock on "B" row, if anyone wants to go check it out. Do not miss the Birdcage parked across from the Canepa trailer. Might be the one of the prettiest cars I have ever seen.
If anyone wants to hook up at the track tomorrow shoot me a pm with your phone number and I will give you a call. I am taking the day off from the drive to Monterey today and going to the beach up in SC if anyone is up this way too.
Mike
