Is it me, or does the boot on the turbo look like a 16v VW intake boot?

Some type of CIS boot for sure.

It's weird seeing that road paved now. I'm used to seeing cars going sideways around those corners.

900+ photos to sort through, almost 4gigs worth. I still have some to go through and edit, but here are some to start it off.

The vintage cars:




The bikes:





The trucks:





The cars:




The crash:
this guy high-centered on his tranny. He sure took it well though. I don't think I could stand there that calmly if I just crashed in front of hundreds of people on a race like that.






The only car I really wanted to get a good shot of and I fubar it. Monster was a force of nature though. No one even came close to how fast and beautifully he came up and around our hairpin. That man's driving is an art form in itself.




The diesel trucks:
I now love these things, they are awesome!










Like I said, just a few for now...

Things to bring next year:
 - sunscreen
 - radio
 - tent (way preferable to 42 hrs no sleep)
 - second camera body
 - paintball gun to shoot the next jerk who decides to show up drinking
 - tire deflator so that said jerk can't drive home drunk
