Hey guys, it was a blast this weekend with everyone at the Riverside.
A big thanks to MikieC for putting this on and inviting me to join.
Hope everyone made it home safe and sound.
I made it almost to Wickenburg before I had a problem with my motor.
I was able to limp in to the local Cobra shop(Jeff's).

I must say I learned allot this weekend about you all.

Your motor was probably sacred of you after that thing you called a burnout.

New Nickname is Squirrely rat Boy.

I hope it is well.

Burnout / Spin out, we all had fun! I wasn't there for the "awards", I think Broberg should get the "hard luck" award. The fairies loved my Willy.
Marilyn told me this morning that I had a great time last night.

Hey DWRAT, Thanks for the neat photo. Sorry to hear about your engine. Keep us posted about it. Y-NOT, yes you did have a good time Saturday night, my wrist is still sore from pouring into that little bottle of yours. On a side note, I drove exactly 700 miles to and return , and then 68 miles in the Laughlin area. The gas cost $75.74 for 31.7 gal. On the drive back home ( at a normal speed ) I averaged 25.8 MPG and made the trip home without stopping for gas. Oh yes, gas in Tucson is still $2.19 a gal. Thanks everyone, I had a great time and look forward to next year.

Here's a quick vid of the gang getting rowdy and doing some burnouts in the parking lot.

I'll be posting more stuff later -- pictures, more vids, interactive panoramas, and full screen viewing. Mikie, I'll be emailing you some pics tomorrow for posting. Fun trip and Mikie, thanks for organizing it -- I know it was a lot of work. As I said previously this was the wife's first "long" run and she loved it (the perfect weather helped). She had a great time with all the guys and gals in the club and she's talking about next year already.

Hi gang... it was a great weekend and as expected, you Arizonians were as crazy as ever. It was a blast and I look forward to next year! The Coupe and I made it back in record time with no problems and I love running 80 MPH while getting 20 MPG... Thanks Mike and Fairy (Ginny) for all your work with this non-event - it does really pay off in fun. See you at Fun Under the Sun - Pomona (not Knott's) in 2010!

What do you need it for?
I think Sandy should just delete it all together or at least remove the sound from it.

Yep, be happy to. It's a large file (75mb) though so my email provider (Cox) won't allow it because they have a 10mb limit on email attachments. However, I found a site called USendIt that will allow it using trickery -- I think. You can be my test subject to see if it works.

Now, was there an email address list posted somewhere for members? Or, you can PM me your email address and I'll email it to you ASAP.

Finally, if you want to see the video in High Quality and full screen then go here on YouTube:
