FYI - this is tomorrow. You can come and watch (or practice taking photos), just tell the guy at the gate you're not running and they will give you a waiver to sign I think

I am going wont be running as I need to redo all bushings. It is free waiver is all that is needed.

[Hermes]

sounds good. I have a wedding tonight for an old friend so hopefully I can manage to get up in the morning and make it. I won't be running either. Which car are you bringing?

[GSEN820]

I'll be in the zhp tomorrow

So today was great weather and fun. Gary and I actually met one of our lurker members (can't remember what he said his screen name was, hopefully he posts soon). He just moved to SD from Virginia a few months ago, drives a Silver Grey (?) 6MT/Alcantara/Silver Cube/Coupe. Some very cool cars were there. Here are a few shots, will try to get some more, gonna have to look for them first but there were other people taking photos. Sorry but my shots are only iPhone quality, but here you go:

I guess I'll start out with a few Z's for Kyle

there were 2 ZHP's running today

the one I mentioned earlier (phone didn't adjust fast enough for the lighting so I could catch it, came out interesting anyways)

a guy and his son were using a 4dr ZHP

and there was also a ZHP pretender (front & back M-Tech 2, black cube, but matte vinyl window trim and a funky lip spoiler on a facelift trunk)

last but definitely not least, check this beastly E36 out. I'm guessing they wanted to test a little but it's still being worked on; it's gonna be mean...

CCA posted their pictures up. They had a bunch of shots of that silver ZHP I was talking about earlier. I couldn't manage to find one with either Gary or me in the background
