Good weather, fun course, good organization (it ran really
smoothly) equalled lots of fun.

I can't remember all of them, but SOL was well represented in
the trophies (see below).  Some that I remember: Bob Lang
was really flying, Roger Garnett won the "other" class in
his big Healey <grin>

Nope, the GP Spit was there but refused to reward its owner
with a trophy; however, both co-drivers trophied.

Yup, and she even won her class, but was *not* the fastest
woman there.  In fact, FTD was set by another "chick racer".

Well, the Hardly Boys had a bit of trouble, probably fuel-related
but looked good while it was running.

If there was, I missed it.  I just kept running into folks in
parking lot (hmmm, there seems to be a pattern here...)

The panoramic photo and the show were cancelled.  The people's
choice and concours were held at the hotels.
