Kind like a piece of puzzle is missing it not going to be the same , but with all new people coming I know you just open a door to great fun and new Friends for life.
We also would like to thank the group of people that have put there time into making this great weekend and you know who you are , and when you get minute tell Valk thanks for never giving up on this meet many years ago because I'm not sure we would be here today if he had.
Thanks Gary for all that you have done my Friend
Thanks for the kind words here my friend
A piece of the puzzle will definitely be missing with the death of Jonathan (Pacemaker)
He was the one who first named the group we still run today known as the "Tourist Class"
We will keep the tradition he started alive and always keep a "Tourist Class" run on the schedule.
We no longer have our "Chaplin" to offer Sunday services for us and share his words of inspiration with those who attended...me being one of them every time.
I certainly hope his wife "Murfi" will rejoin us next Spring once she has had some time to allow the pain of losing Jonathan to pass.
I know many of us want to see her come back !!!
I knew back in 2008 that this event was the best we had and have remained excited to keep it alive and now with the help of others we have formed a "Planning Committee" to enhance these meets to a new level of fun
Most will see this weekend the changes that have been added
I'm looking forward to joining all of you and I will be arriving tomorrow around lunch and will be around all weekend not leaving until Monday morning
With so many new faces if I dont find you please ask around for VALK or Gary and stop and see me, introduce yourself.
I want to meet every new member who comes this weekend

It's been too long since I've done the Dragon.
You are among one of the first to attend this event all the way back in the beginning in Fall 2007
Glad you will be coming back to play again this weekend
I've added you and Sabrina to the list
Many have already arrived and many more coming in during the day on Friday
Weather is perfect for the weekend events and runs
3 full days of driving the mountain roads and evenings together back at Fontana Lodge

Well I guess I'll start here. Another great weekend with friends and great weather! Excellent turn out and many many great looking cars. Be sure to check out the local photography websites to see your car in action.
I don't think it is proper for CICCI to come along and think they can just take over an event that has been going on for nearly 10 years. Not everyone is a member nor do they want to be. Why does CICCI want to fix something that is not broke? We have been doing fine without you all these years. This weekend has been more confusing than any I attended in the past.
Here are some of my photos. I hope everyone will post some for others to see, or borrow.
