What a great time!  I met a ton of cool people, got to watch a bunch of nutcases slide their cars around in the rain, and ate some decent food.  Keep up the great work!

Amazing event! A HUUUUGE thank you to Steve and the team who set this up. Cannot wait until next year

[Vytenis]

Special thanks to Mark Burkit, owner of Specialty Cars in Allentown.  He was manning his vendor booth at the event and magically appeared on the grid  to diagnose and or help fix at least three (3) cars including mine that developed technical difficulties.

Thanks Mark.

Thanks Marty - I'll come and get that!

I somehow managed to leave my Nikon D-SLR + lens + flash and camera bag on a chair at the table I was sitting at, so would REALLY like that back. 

I'll start hunting it down in earnest tomorrow.
