For all of those who are interested in joining our group please reserve your hotel room now. There are less than 10 rooms left in the block. This means we have more than 30 confirmed. It should be bigger than last year. WooHoo!

Can't wait to see everyone again.

The website is partially up.

A few weeks to go. Almost 50 cars and 70 people registered. Should be a great time. This will probably be the biggest year yet. I can't wait to meet some new people and share stories with old friends.

btw, we have attendees from CA, NC and CO. No excuses from you guys in OK, LA, NM or other neighboring states. Get out and drive!

I just cancelled my hotel reservation if anyone needs one. There is now a room open at the host hotel.

What a great weekend. Three days of fun, sun, smiles and miles. I did not have far to travel and still put over 1000 miles on the car.

Yeah, you shoulda been there. We had over 60 cars and 80+ people. There were visitors from NC, CA and CO, Mexico, and even Japan. Where were the rest of you? I know Targa CA is in a few weeks. You should have stopped here on the way out West.

Full Story at 11. I have to clean out some pictures and then I can pull together a proper recap.

Awesome event! Great roads and people. Well organized and as good of an event as I have ever been to! Add this one to your list. I will be back next year. Over 3000 miles driven in my 912 and loved every minute of it. I'll post pictures later. As a side note, I really enjoyed playing tag with Jamie. Great driver!

I did manage to capture some video. Here is a quick sample shot with a Contour GPS camera mounted just below and right of the rear view mirror. I made my own suction cup mount. At least I finally figured out the audio gain so that you can hear something besides wind noise.

Yeah, we spent hours on roads this twisty. Unfortunately, video of most of the really good roads did not come through thanks to a dead battery.

Jeff, thanks for the compliments on the event. It was worth the time investment for organization. Considering that we were more than double the size of last year we were expecting many growing pains. However, I think overall it went smoothly. Most of that is due to the fantastic attitude that all the participants displayed all weekend.

Glad you made it safe back to the West Coast.

Fantastic event, great drives and Jeff you can sure pedal a 912. Here's a picture of you and Jamie. Yes we do have curves in Texas.
