What no pictures of me and Diane!

I'll tell ya those GoKarts were fun.

"so Linda was happy, and keeping my promise to her, I didn't work on any cars, as far as she knows."

I guess we're not counting the blow out in the Mercedes as working on a car......and are you sure you tightened the lug nuts.

Also not counting the car at the winery, although I technically never touched the car. I'll see if Diane is in the camera.

How about a report? I was busy at the track but enjoyed talking with folks downtown Friday and seeing roadsters around town all weekend. So how many cars showed up, who won awards and pictures? Thanks.

As you know the weather played a big role in the number of roadsters...........I think the final count was about 15, that would be a good 10 less then last year. If I'm not mistaking I think we had 13 at the winery with about 50 people for the dinner.

I didn't have my camera with me most of the weekend but here are a few shot from Friday.

the final count was actually between 43 and 45 roadsters in town for the weekend. were over 40 registered and in attendance in the tour de marque, we kicked Z car and 510 butt! organizers were amazed we had more roadsters than there were Z's or 510's. there were 80 people for the dinner, I thought it all came off pretty well. someone needs to step up to run the meet next year, time to start thinking about that.

Right numbers for 2011, but the previous post was for 2009 :D It was a great turnout, and considering the numbers for dinner went from 40 something to 80 in a few days, an even greater job than usual.
