Thanks Alvin! Those were great pics.
Alvin, Thank you for these great pictures. I've been stuck at the office all weekend lamenting that I couldn't be up there.
Nice pictures Alvin. Your friend has a great eye for composition. Your turbo looked awesome.
Really lovely day in Carmel. Lot's of nice folks and some spectacular cars. Good to get to meet a some people on this board and their friends. Donnie in particular had me cracking up pretty much from the moment I started talking to him....
Looking forward to next year. Link to some additional shots of the day.

yessur,
a grand day out topped by meeting up and putting faces to names.
good times with some nice cars and folks.
however, a bad day forget my hat and sunscreen...left there a bit crispy & well done.
results from the latest installment of the "Fastest Windows of the West" will be posted when I return from a family getaway this week. We have a tie for the fastest.....
Thanks and props to the all organizers and the shutterbugs.

...and the results are in!
Ok race fans, here's how it all 'rolled down' on the grass last week...
Rules: doors closed, windows all the way up from completely down start, then back down completely to finish, owner's choice of either door window, engine on optional. Owners were asked to operate windows as if they were at a VERY rainy toll booth....;-)
time owner year type (P=power/M=manual)
24.9 sec Erik 1973 P = SLOWEST!
24.1 Chris 1973 P
18.7 Dennis 1974 P
16.0/12.00 Paul C. 1972 P
15.9 Murray 1970 M
11.1 Al 1971 P
10.1 John 1974 P
9.8 Chris 1974 P
8.9 Ben 1975 P
8.3 Steve 1972 P

7.4 Doug 1971 M
7.1 Paul 1972 M
6.1 Lev 1974 M
6.0 Shanon 1970 M
6.0 Ping-Tsao 1973 P
We have a tie for fastest between the flying guiotine of glass of Ping's lovely black 1973 and my 1970's roll-ups. Good to know that it is possible to have power windows as quick as the manuals...
...you'll have to ask Ping what his secret is yourself....
