some pics I took...I have about 100 of the event/drive, whatever. These are just pics I liked more. When did you guys go on the Skyway? We hit it up on Saturday afternoon at about 18:00. Also, I think the event went down really well, gotta thank the organizers ::golf clap:: for putting it together. A couple things pissed me off, but nothing that was under the control of the organizers. I'll be there next year, with bells on.

More Photos, Some your mom shouldn't see
Hey Dex I got a couple of pics from The Fontana Gathering too! Has your mom seen these?
The deputy was saying something like its a crime to paint a 3rd Gen that color . . . and mumbled something about a moving distraction . . .
and then "spread'em" and . . . "search 'cause you gotta be on something to drive a car this color" :o)
Just kiddin' the deputy was great to go along with this. Hope you and your Dad had a great time and you got some great pictures. Tell Tom thanks for coming down with you, anytime we can help out with the car or anything else rotary related don't hesitate to contact one of us. As far as we're concerned, your a member of the Raleigh Rotary Drive-In. Thanks for being a good sport and posing for the pics. We all had a great time and glad you joined us for the trip.

That's what I got for now... more later. My buddy Dan Stevens took most of the in-car shots from the passenger seat - he was learning both the camera and in-car photography at the same time so bear with a few of them where they are mostly my car, from the inside.
I haven't particularly edited the collection. My better shots are on 35mm, but I didn't take more than a roll or so.
Note that there are multiple pages, but the controls aren't very advanced. I need to put up a real photo manager but I tossed this together a while back and haven't changed yet.

sorry, but thats how it went....i had to pass him because the guys behind me kept kicking it out on every turn and i didnt want them to hit me in the rear of the car,a nd i was stuck behind Bert, so thats why i passed him, safely of course
and what is this mazda driver's event?

there is a Mazda driving school in June. i think Johny was calling you out to show off your skillz. however, i doubt there is any insult intended, just a friendly challenge. we are a pretty tightly knit group in raleigh, and we get defensive.

I believe Phil is going to plan for a fall event if we have enough people going.

yep, that was me, sorry i had to pass ya, every hairpin i came to i was gonna go but u'd speed up, then i finally got a chance on that 1 hairpin where i could see if anybody was coming from the other way, and went for it, but my FC lacks torque and had a lil trouble, but i got by in just enough time for the braking zone :^)
