...Raleigh News and Observer...

Great article!

Crap - Kristi & I just drove up from Myrtle Beach yesterday... If I'd a been paying attention (and known about the meet) I would have taken a detour over to Raleigh. Sigh...

...Also think I may have done the whole trip running on 3 cylinders...

You think? I coulda told you that when you pulled up!


had a great time yesterday, unfortunately there were several people who didn't make it due to car troubles etc, but what a great turnout!

That's a great story.....and a very nice pic at the top, Caety! Picked the best interior, eh?

Haven't had time to post since it has been so crazy here. We had a reporter and a photographer from the Raleigh News and Observer at the meet and they couldn't stop staring and grinning. Here is link to the story and pics in today's paper. More later.
Wow, great time!

THANKS everyone for the great meet and THANK the lord for the great weather. Couldn't have been a more perfect day and I know Dean was watching it all.

Just made it home slightly before 2am. Ended up being about 11 hours of drive time. We missed out turn and went through downtown D.C. instead of around it, the capital and washington monument were all lit up. Had some issues with the headlights dropping and ended up using a little duct tape to hold them up. Also think I may have done the whole trip running on 3 cylinders. One of my spark plugs is soaking wet and black like it hasn't been firing for a while. Will have to check into that later. Great meet, it was really great to meet and see so many new faces, and the warm welcome was great.

I just got back. Gave me some motivation and ideas on how I wanna run certain things. I wish I had a running festiva lol.

I don't know what kind of ideas you've got goin on...but I'd focus on the "running festiva" part first...then cool do-dad's for later

I still can't believe I didn't make it. the car is still packed full of parts, pretty much half free and half for sale for cheap, lol. I had a good bit of questions and ideas too...

[edudu77]

Been home for a couple hours now, was a great time with great people. I'm already looking forward to next year!
