This was my first GTG with my beautiful Angel! I want to thank every one for their patience with me, now I am not a rookie any more!!!
This trip was a wonderful, wonderful experience for me.
The sites, and the driving, will not soon be forgotten.
The Gateway Crossfire Group are the best!!!!!
A big thanks to Ruth and Eric, for helping with the surprise!
To those who could not make it.......MAN YOU MISSED A GREAT TIME!!!!!
Terry and I are looking forward to the Colorado 2012 meet.
We met old and new friends, and are looking forward to doing this again.

Terry has already debugged both the cars!!!

More later,

Diane

 

No "Alabaster" coupes either.

I too am really sorry I missed this GTG. It just seemed everytime I turned around there was some sort of roadblock keeping me from attending. I guess it just wasn't meant to be, but I'm glad everybody had a great time (something I've noticed is pretty common with this group).
I'm looking forward to Woodward, and hopefully the Dragon this Fall.
Thanks everybody for posting the photos of the Gateway GTG, they really help us "no-shows" see what we missed.

 

May and I (Steve) just wanted to thank everyone who set this wonderful trip up. Especially Ruth and Eric - you folks had your hands full! We had a great time.

 

Still on the road, in Sanford N.C. looking for new rear tires,still another week on the road with 2 carry-ons and a laptop.17 days on the road in a roadster is possable

 

Made it home! Car ran perfectly the entire way. Even let Jason drive for 100 miles of the 3200 mile trip!

THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU to all that had a hand in planning the GTG. Very professionally done. Thanks to everyone that attended and sorry to those that missed out on a great opportunity to meet and hang with fellow Crossfire owners!

Go ahead and put me at the top of the list for the Colorado GTG in 2012. Hopefully more will sign up and not back out and we will see 100+ Crossfires at that event!

See ya there!

 

Just wanted to tell everyone that Teresa and I enjoyed every minute of the CAA!!!! This is the first time I've used photobucket, so Let me know if my link does not work. We meet many new friends and enjoyed helping out our good friends in the GCG. We can not wait till the Rocky Mountain edition!!!!

The link works fine and WOW that's a lot of Red Crossfires !!!
Nice pics everyone...keep em coming please.

 

Still on the road....in Elko, NV tonight on the way to Folsom to see my new granddaughter. Heading home after July 4th.

So far, just over 4000 miles in 10 days. Sandgrounder, I think you got me beat.

For everyone still on the road, may your trip home be pleasant and uneventful. For those already home, get some rest!

 

Be careful my friend...safe passage...hope to meet again soon....

Thanks for the pics Gary. We can always count on you to be on top of the picture taking. Thanks for sharing, looks like everyone had an amazing time.

 

Just pulled into home about 30 minutes ago! We had a great time on the way back and saw some interesting rock formations as well as 5 and 6 legged steers (yes, you read right). Thanks again GCG!

Oh, and we had some rain as we arrived in town. It lowered the temperature to 60. I will never gripe about 60 degrees again after the heat. Humidity is hard on a Colorado boy.

 

You spent way too much time at the brewery.

 

Great pics, you must have mastered the Nikon. I have relied mostly on the Auto function and it does a good job too.

 

Well, you can view the steers here:

It's a little hard to compete with Gary's pics and vids, but here are a few shots from my portfolio of the CAA 2010.

A shot of one of the many bridges in the area.


I love looking in the mirror and seeing a line of Crossfires trailing off into the distance.


This is where the track manager asked Franc "What...another newbie?"

 

Great looking pics!

 

There was one alabaster coupe. "Vito" a new member not on the forum. He is the guy cookin' burgers and brats at the Tune and Wash BBQ at my place.

What's a "Woodward?" and why would you go there instead of St Louis?

YOU REALLY MISSED IT.

Here are the results from the track on Wednesday night. It's funny as a member of my "Halo racing clan" (computer game) found this:
