Is there a chance someone could email me a hi-res photo of the group shot of all the cars in the building and in front of the building? The ones I took turned out bad because I forgot to reset the ISO for normal light. I ended up taking pictures with 1600 ISO
Please PM me for my email.
Thanks.

I'm finally up and moving after sleeping the gtg off.

What was up with that rain storm afterward?

I have never seen rain like that. The rain drops were so big I thought it was hail at first. My wipers on full blast couldn't keep up. I got splashed by a pickup driving through a puddle so bad I had water dripping out of my vents. There was even standing water on a crowned road.

I AM NOT EXAGGERATING !!!

Yeah, I encountered the same deluge just 15 minutes in my trip home. I haven't seen a down pour like that for quite some time.

The Kast family puts on a nice GTG I must say. I think everyone had a good time at the museum and the barbque. BG's tech sessions were creative and informative, as usual.

We got to put a lot of names with faces this year and had a pretty good turn out:
Charmalu is a great guy and has done some very nice mods to his car. He gets the mileage award.

Biodiesel300TD has a SWEET pea green 240 that just shouts out CLASSY. Next year we'll have the China Blue Wagon sisterships side by side.

BGKast's mafia car kept the riff raff out of the park so we had the whole place to ourselves. (Also winner of the "biggest oil spot on the museum floor" award)

RCounts' CD is looking nice as ever

ConnClark whipped out a valve adjustment in the parking lot between a burger and a tech session. That included snapping off his boost guage line. RCounts and the Punk Mechanic came to the rescue and had the line fixed in short order. I hope the Punk Mechanic spends a little more time on this site - He'd make a nice addition to the knowledge base for sure.

Thanks to everyone who made it!

As it's already been said, it was a fun event, and a great opportunity to put faces to names for once!

As the token gasser at the event, I had fun staying out of the way and enjoying the soot cloud (that I wasn't generating, for once!). :p


As to the larger picture, if someone can't do it by the time I get home, I bought one of the prints and I can see how well it scans.

We stayed the night in the Crown Plaza in Lake Oswego (thanks to the bargains on Hotwire). Stopped by my buddy's house in BattleGround for a short visit Sunday afternoon, and made it home just in time for the boys to hit the hay.

Great event, nice folks, educational tech session, a fun event and well worth the drive! Thanks for organizing such an excellent GTG once again Brian.

It was fun meeting everyone. I'm already looking forward to next year!
