    Have fun out there with your son. Wish I could caravan out there with ya. I will get some bodywork done this winter to my rear flares so I can put some real DOT tires that won't go flat at the drop of a hat. I'll be able to go on some longer drives next summer. Kinda frustrating with all these great roads and destinations.

    If you are going to be in Vail, it is worth noting that by the end of the day on Sunday the 7th, many if not most of the cars participating in the Colorado Grand will be in the parking structure at the Cascade Resort.

    Great point Ron! Seeing the CO1000 cars show up is a fantastic experience. Breathtaking for any car fan. Maybe I can break away and drive up Sunday.

    And, don't forget that the following weekend (IIRC), they'll be on display in Lionshead on Saturday after the Grand.

    My experience is they come in all day...most in transports. Some like to get in early so they can make sure the cars are ready to drive the next day. The cars will still be in the garage the next morning...you can see just about all the cars then...plus they are clean. The show after the ralley the cars are dirtier.

    Thanks for the reply. I would love to see them all Sunday, but they'll all be in their trailers i'm sure.

    Most interesting to me at the display today was the original 959 Komfort and 904 '64 Le Mans competitor brought over by an owner from Telluride.

    GTO's were a one year only deal as cars must be 1960 or earlier

    The Colorado Grand parking garage destroyed the actual car show in town, except for the 959... But the Grand cars are just too awesome.
