I finally have a chance to sit down at the computer now that I am back home. First off, thanks again, Mike! In spite of my wrassling with the meet monster to get there (I kicked it's @ss!) I had a really great time. You dod a wonderful job with everything.

As always, it was a great pleasure to see the gang again. I've said it before and will say it again, I can't imagine a nicer group of people than are found on this board!

I look forward to seeing you all in person again sometime in the not too distant future.

As for pictures, I took a few but will not have them developed and scanned until next week. I will announce once they are posted. I was a bit bummed that we never got that group photo.

Thanks to Harry and Tom for setting up the autoX! I had a freakin' great time racing but my wheel bearing didn't. I shaved a ton of time off of it's already doomed life but it was all worth it! Now I just need to shave a second or so off my times to give Harry a run at the track. For those who did not make it or never saw Harry race his SVX, it really is impressive what he can make it do! Saturday was the first time I ever pushed my SVX on dry pavement and I had no idea what I could expect from it. Harry invited me to ride shotgun on his runs and really opened my eyes to what is possible with a heavy AWD coupe. I cannot stress enough my recommendation for finding an opportunity for running an autocross with your SVX. It will greatly increase your confidence in your everyday driving knowing what the limits really are and will help develope the skills to use them.

Mike and Ben, I hope you had little difficulty following me out of Baltimore and had a safe trip home from there. I'd love to see you "local" guys a little more often.

To all,

I took some pictures out in the parking lot of all the cars before I left. Me and misses-to-be had a picnic to go to but at least I finally made it to a meet. The crab was good and we even bought some coconut shrimp. Well, I can email people some digpics later this week, whoever wants them. Take care all and I look forward to more local meets in the future or just plain get-togethers at a rest. or bar.

yeah, that was definitly an interesting drive out of Baltimore. People are nuts in the city and highways around it. And what was with the football field-sized cross walk. that thing was huge.

If are so inclined, please do write a letter to Steve Sneed , the President of Phillips Food, Inc and let him know how much we all appreciated Phillips hosting the Crab Meet. There is no question that most companies would not be willing to do that. And to give us a discount on the Cash and Carry too? Wow, what a guy! Now what would you like to bet that RUFUS had a LOT to do with that too?

As for pic of the event. I have a roll of film in to be developed now and should have them back tomorrow or Wed. I will post them in my locker. If everyone that took pic could post them in their lockers, that would be great.

BTW, do we have a list of attendees (names, etc). With my advancing age, memory is a problem. How many did we have attending? I would guess 15-18 SVX's (some with 2 + people)?

Anyway, great time and great people. Certainly enjoyed it and looking forward to next year already!
Harry

OOPS.

I meant "MARK" Sneed, not "STEVE" Sneed.

You could have said "Sam" Sneed and really showed your age and golf-fandom.

newsvx · #**176** 08-11-2003, 09:06 PM

But Johnny ......... I...uh..... Oh, I forget. You know the mind is the second thing to go - I forget what the first is

And I don't even know who Sam Sneed is. Not a reflection of my age - I just don't do golf.

Harry, Still sitting Up and Taking "Nurishment" .....

To all that attended the meet,

I'll put what I have in my locker sometime this week hopefully. It's about time I put something in there, maybe my HOG also.

I have just put several photos in my locker - ENJOY.

I did not get as many pics as I had hoped, but there are some good ones inside the building with Mike and Ron cooking and several of the group throughout the building......
