    Bill: Actually, it was Jeff (flyinlo, the rosso corsa F355 Spider) who fronted your entry fee. I could be wrong, but I think it was $100 including the entry fee, handling fee and Lambo surcharge. Right, Jeff? :)

    Had a great time today with everyone. Thanks to Rob for letting me ride with him. Thanks to Bill & Tony for getting everyone together for this event. When I get back from the Track next Monday, I will be sure to post some pics.

    It was nice to meet some new to me faces as well.

    As soon as I got back home, I laid in the pool for about 2 hours. Still to frickin' hot.

    Brian, Tony & Jeff, so many great photos! Thanks! Thanks to Bill for organizing. I enjoyed lunch with you guys, too. Spiderguy & June_GL, we should hang out more, just don't see enough of you guys. (Oh, wait, spent yesterday with you, too!) Nice to see Mr. Zuk passing though on his way to Palo Alto. Junior, you should bring more cars next time! Todd, nice to see you again after, what, three years?

    2 years! Nice to see you as well. Don't forget, "BLACK HORSE" ROB was driving that day 2 years ago. Maybe we'll see you at Concorso Italiano. If not then somewhere else in the future. Just not 2 years from now. :D

    Thanks to Huskerbill for organizing such a fun caravan ride. Blackhorse and Toddjw73, thanks for flagging down the 2 Lambos in the parking lot looking for Starbucks. Tony2Ta, what gracious hosting in your part of Brentwood. Onthelam and Junior, even in the record heat, such pleasant company you both are! It was so very nice to see everyone else and meet new faces too. It was quite a privilege to have some law enforcement officers join us. I'll post some pics when I can.

    It was good to meet a bunch of nice people yesterday...
    Did anyone notice how warm it was? :)

    My only regret is that I live a short distance away... and didn't get to drive a bit with you folks.

    Bill, Tony, nice job getting things rolling.
    See you all another time!

    Tony, Just wanted to extend a huge thank you to you, Bill and all the other exotic owners who showed up. you guys really helped make this show a huge success in my eyes. SGT Kelley with OPD told me many of your group gave much more than the $10 donation and that really helped out. We ended up raising $2000 for the OPOA trust funds.

    One thing I would like to apologize for is the fact that there was not an award for "Best Exotic". I had requested one in my email to A&B trophies, and I'm sure Jackie would have made one, she just didnt catch it on the email. I really apologize for that, i didn't intentionally leave your group out. I hope you guys had a good time and I wish I would have got to introduce myself to everyone and spend a little more time over there but I was being pulled every which way.

    Again, I really, really appreciate your guys participation, it wouldn't have been the show it was without you. Please pass this on to the Ferrarichat group. If there is anything I could have done better or any way I could have made the experience more enjoyable, please let me know.

    Ric

    Awesome show guys thank you very much for coming out, I personally enjoyed seeing those awesome cars. I uploaded all of my photos to my personal Mac Gallery for you all to see and enjoy. Maybe next year I can join in on the fun if I can get my Noble M400.

    GREAT pics!!

    I want to take the time to thank you all for coming and showing your support!!

    It was one of the hottest days I can ever remember but you all came out in droves and stayed through the event. I am sincerely proud of the group for the effort.

    I had a great time driving up with you all and being able to see pretty much "one of everything" in the lot that day. All makes and models of exotics were represented. Again, Kudos!!

    I am already looking forward to setting up the next event. I have something in the works. We will be doing something special, different and FUN for the next one...........


    Stay tuned!!!! ;-)

    Thanks to the FChat crew for organizing this fun event. Enjoyed meeting you all and hope to see you (and your cars) again soon.
    Here are some quick "grab bag" car to car images shot on the way home from Brentwood. Of course, everyone was strictly following the posted speed limit! (Rob-sorry none of your 308 QV, you didn't drive by us..)
