Well it's been a fantastic week in St.Louis.
Yes it was very hot but that in no way stopped us from having a great time together.
I met many new faces and saw old friends as well.
These guys really pulled off a excellent GTG.
The GCG did an amazing job keeping everyone on schedule and on track getting to all the places on the agenda at their scheduled times.
My sincerest thanks to all who made this GTG possible.

I got home around 3:00 today and spent hours going through hundreds of pics
and putting them into order for a good photo presentation for you all.

Monday
I arrived and just hung out at Harrah's meeting others as they arrived.

Tuesday
Several of us went to Franc Rauschers shop and had a BBQ and washed our Crossfires.

Tuesday Night
We all went to see the Rascals Baseball game and got to drive our Crossfires in a parade around the field prior to the start of the game.

Wednesday
Several of us went on the Hermann Tour which took us to the "Stone Hill Winery" and "Daniel Boone's Home"

Wednesday night
A lot of us went to the Gateway International Raceway for tons of fun out on the track.
Speeds often reached in excess of 100mph on the street course which used half of the oval track to really get to some high speeds !!
CICCI also sponsored a car show and three awards were given at the farewell dinner on Thursday night

Thursday
A much cooler day to go on a downtown tour in St.Louis.
We went and toured the Budweiser Brewery and afterwords got to drink some samples of beer in the hospitality bar.
Then had lunch at the Spaghetti Factory.
After lunch we went to the grounds of the Gateway Arch and went up to the top for a great view of St.Louis.

Thursday night
The GTG came to a close with a really nice Farewell Dinner where we all went to a banquet hall in St.Charles, Mo for dinner and a raffle to raise money for the children's hospital in St.Louis.
We also announced the winners of the CICCI car show and presented the awards to the winners.
