So, it was a great event! Weather was awesome, people mostly played nice (the bigger-bore cars got a little frisky and needed to get flagged in early), and nothing went terribly wrong.

My buddy and chief tech inspector took a bunch of photos. Unfortunately, they're only on FB right now: https://www.facebook.com/dave.back.927
Here are a few I managed to shoot in the pits during lunch:
We were there from about 8:30 to the lunch break. It was a good time overall, fun to see the cars that close, though we were mindful of safe places to watch. We did also walk the entire perimeter of the course, which had no sidewalks over most of the southern part, but had clear gates all around the course and frequent police presence to make sure nobody messed with the barriers.
It was a fun morning, we would do it again. Hopefully there can be a few more entries as it seemed a bit sparse.
That R5 turbo makes my pants tight.

Glad to hear you came out. I saw a GRM shirt or two but no one who is active on the forums. Should have stopped in to say hi at the top of grid.
We had a handful of last minute cancellations, for a variety of reasons. We also missed a fair number of regulars either due to other plans or mechanical issues.
Next year I hope to get the City off their butts earlier in the year so I can get registration and promotion started in like February instead of May. They dithered around with our agreement for a month or two before finally cutting us loose.

That's why I let him in even though it was at least 5 years too new.
The guy with the IT Shelby Charger normally runs a '65 Barracuda, but he had engine issues with it this summer and asked if he could bring that instead. It has a long logbook, so I let it in too.
The R5 was cool and seemed in the spirit of the event, glad it was there.
