Thanks Jim. I was out there for work, and wish I'd been there yet another week! I will catch it one of these days soon, as it looks to be quite a gathering.
Yes, the crowds were very light at Yosemite, and what a beautiful drive out there. I'd highly recommend the trip to anyone. I could only do a half-day of exploring, but even then... it was spectacular, as you said.

Saturday really was a wonderful day - perfect sunny and warm weather, good turnout, and for the first time in I can't remember how long I actually went for the cars, camaraderie, Jim's excellent coffee and doughnuts, good conversation and not to take pictures - but because I wanted to see friends……..a very rewarding morning and the drive home through the Berkeley Hills while avoiding the freeway made the whole effort worthwhile.
Quite a few new cars ( let's just say I do not recall seeing them before ), to the point that I felt I should at least take & post those images, as well as the perfect opportunity to sneak yet another gratuitous shot of Ruprecht.
The black car is a rare Lamborghini Islero, a true GT which came before the silliness of the Countach but for one reason or another never really caught on.

Great time as always. I wasn't sure if you guys noticed the once and a lifetime viewing of Porsche's original Sports Turbo Diesel 911prototype. Frankly I was astonished to see such a site. I would expect such a find at the Quale or Pebble Beach! It's incredible the rare gems we are bestowed with at EASY!

I had this discussion with my wife 22 years ago after my first trip to California. She's from CA, I'm from the east coast. I was quickly corrected that it's "Golden" not brown. Hence the Golden State.Originally Posted by billh
Ferkel the 911 suffered a horrendous crash last Saturday but was heroically put back together and made it back on the track to finish the weekend. Check out the story on JalopnikGreat time as always.

PS: We blew up 2 motors but did manage to get in about 6 hours of racing.
