I'll be there for the event, should be a blast. Were the pictures from the Pre-historics?

Yes,all those were taken last Friday & Saturday...
I'll be at the track this Saturday shooting more interesting stuff,we'll probably do the Italian show @ Blackhorse GC Friday then all the auction festivities in the evenings.

That was my first real attempt at panning with a digital camera...got lucky I guess.Still a ways away from cousin Brucie! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Thanks for posting the pictures! I'm on Maui right now and my flight leaves in a few hours to come back stateside and head down to Monterey for all the fun. My interery is Maui, Pebble Beach/Monterey and finish up at Corvettes at Carlisle. I can't think of a much better couple of weeks.

[TimG]

I'll be there tomorrow. Looking for my old '64 Corvette race car, orange with purple flames.
