[1985 CCX]

CC devotees,

I would like to begin dialog about the event and thank all that came out to support our hobby. There was a great gathering of cars, vendors, people and events. Thunderbolt is a great location that will be discussed in the future for a long time to come. I am out of picture space so I can't post visuals at this time

Here is my report:
Thursday a rag tag group ventured down out of Southern NH. I of course decided to experience the full wrath of mother nature w/o a top. Yes, I did get my hair wet at least what little I have. The weather reports looked bleek for Friday and Sat with a great day Sunday. We all prayed to the weather gods and ended up with three days of hot dry fun. I must say it was a great time meeting and conversing with so many folks.

A Special Award, in my opinion, goes to Kei and Miki Linuma. The sent their CSX8000 car to the mainland from HI. They drove across the states ending in Maine for lobster then drove down to NJ. Yes, they did track the car and with an unfortunate oil filter rupture caught it on fire.... Kei was unhurt and thankfully so! Thanks to a great team of people they were fixed up and back on the road by Sunday morning. Miki gets the "Women of the Year" award! They are both great people and are what this whole hobby is about = great people.

The group of people which drove down out of NH were the best and I am very gald to know all of you!

This was perhaps one of the best car related times of my life. There were 8-9 original CSX cars, a huge Mustang contingent and GREAT racing. The last event Sunday was the Vintage race which included two crazy wild GT350's and a CSX cont Coupe in the lead. U.S. Nordic brought race ready 3000 series Cobra and a GT40 P1115 = Simply awsome

Special thanks to all making this a great event:
Nick and Bonnie for allowing us to park in their area!
Dave for bringing the garage in the event we had issues
Dan for the weather forecast and GPS
Mike and Donna for support and traffic updates along the way
Ron Richards
Fran Kress
Jim (sweet FIA)
Jeff Burgy
ERA Peter P

John McMahon
Kei and Miki Linuma
All the CCX guys that made it! Jim B, Don S, Rich C.....
and Don Osborne for making the trip over in his fantastic MKIV......

It sounds like SAAC and SAI have patched up their differences and will be moving into a bright future together. They have a great leader and with open dialog should be able to make future years the best ones yet.
