Awesome pics guys... here's a few of mine as well.

Great to meet everyone finally. It was a great meet and I hope to meet up again soon. I am planning to do the GG2H drive... I know Benoit well and he's a great guy and a great organizer. Sounds like its gonna be quite the party at some of the stops... now if he can make sure there will be a ton of girls there... its gonna be epic.

Unfortunately.. didn't take too many pics.

What's GG2H?

Also, someone asked about your tire size and I gave it my best guess... 265/30/20 and 325/30?/20.

I was thinking the same thing. It didn't hit me until I got home, but then I thought, "Twenty-five dollars for that? That was the worst!"

But the rest of the day was an absolute blast, and it was good to see everyone out there.

Were you the other white C63 with the Vorsteiner diffuser? I was hoping to say hello, but never got the chance!

I try to make all of these events (cars and caffiene). Wish I could have been there. Instead I was watching Mr. Borelli drive his Spec Mustang and many others race Laguna Seca.

I was doing this from an interesting vantage point. Safety car shows up at 0:45 with a bunch of formula cars following.

Yes sir. Sorry for being a bit anti-social, but this was our first event. Between trying to not get lost, and keep up with the group, we had our hands full.
