This is the annual car design seminar that features lectures by world leaders in automotive design (including RGruppe's Freeman Thomas). This year, the featured speaker is Gordon Murray, designer of racecars and supercars, including the McLaren F1 and Mercedes SLR McLaren.

Leno and his McLaren are supposed to be there.

I wish I could go... My brother Steve is showing his Lamborghini LP400, an absolutely incredible car. Here are some photos from 2004 Italiano and our campsite above turn 6 at the Historics.
Sorry but your green 911E is way more appealing in every way than that red Lambo.
But of course, I could be biased towards green 911E's... ;)
I guess there are still some tickets available. I just got one a few minutes ago. Missed the $40 cut-off, but wasn't sure about going until I just said to myself, "Go." See you there, Sherwood?
(This is one place where I don't think I'll drive the Ragamuffin.)
Zeke,
Probably not this time. Other things on schedule that day. Have fun though.
How about breakfast we talked about awhile back? Since the Registry isn't doing anything official lately, maybe we could ingest some breakfast food on Sunday morning.
Anyone else interested?

Had a great time, alot of nice cars.
Zeke,
Did you get to see any of the vintage race footage? Was supposed to have Daytona, '69 & '70 LeMans. By the time I got to the Media Room, only thing playing was some older Ford film on an endless loop....
While I had a good enough time, I thought the thing was poorly organized for a first timer. I stopped at 2 booths in the center of the vendor area before I figured out where I presented my ticket for the wrist band (no signs). I needed to use a restroom (no signs) and I looked everywhere for Leno's SLR (nobody with the show knew what an SLR was). It was in the online advertisment; but I don't think it made it out). I didn't see the entrance to the media room (no signs). I though the PA system would destroy my ears.Quote:

Leno got there late morning, I forget what time it was exactly. He brought his McLaren F1.
I agree that it was poorly laid out, especially since they have been doing this a few years now.
I tried to go the first year it was held and the parking was a mess. They have that worked out. I thought the price of admission was a bit steep, considering the first year was free and they increase it each year. I did get in on the early price however. I don't think I'll go next year. While there were a lot of great cars there, some I have seen at other events for free.
I posted a few of the pictures I took:
