I came by the Marriot and got pictures of some of the cars that were there. I am going to post them on my photobucket tomorrow. Funny thing happened while I was walking around taking the pics. I ran into a new friend you guys made. Kevin, driving the yellow rented c6. I met him at one lap this year and it was weird as hell running into him and his wife again. It was good to see your X it is sexy.
