Jack,

We have been talking about a get together, BBQ, there are five or six locals who are interested. When are you guys passing through the South Bay?

I started a Monterey BBQ thread, I'll bump it up to the top.

Jim from the looks of it my nephew and I will be arriving on Thursday and staying through Sunday, Richard is checking over his 40 in Idaho and suppose to drive to our house today if all goes well.
 
Road trip through the Red Woods today and a few pics from the trip from Arkansas with Jack Houpe.

Jack,

Cynthia and I are flying out tomorrow to San Jose and driving down.
Heidi and Gray are already there...
Gray's B26 caught on fire this week... He's OK, but the car is going to need a lot of work. Mostly rear clip, wiring and hoses. Regulator diaphragm broke and 120psi fuel outrun the fire system...

We're staying at the Carmel Valley Lodge. We don't have a full plan, but we will be at the track on Saturday to watch Gray with his B16 in (I think) Group 4a. Pebble Beach show on Sunday morning for sure... then maybe out to the track to watch some others.

I assume you have your cell phone on you... I'll give you a yell once we're there.

Later!
Kirby

Kirby,

Sorry to hear of Gray's incident, most importantly he's okay. I was looking forward to seeing the B26 run, it will have to be next time.

I'm driving down in the Pantera Thursday, attending Italiano Concorso Friday and then at the track Sat/Sun before heading back late Sunday.

Thank God Gray is OK! We are leaving out tomorrow and taking the coast route, to pajaro dunes. The main get together is Thursday night at Baja Cantina where we are going to use Mike Drew as a piñata for insulting left hand drive cars. :shocked:

My jitterbug battery is dead but will email my nephews phone number.

Mike, my plan is to go back through CO T the end of the month, I hope to meet you in person.
 
I will be going to the Baja Cantina on Thursday evening but without a GT40. Just a rental car!

Will look forward to meeting some of you!

I'm also planning to take a run down to the Cantina today (Thurs), what time are people planning on getting there?

I think I'll head down in the afternoon, I bet parking will be very limited.

Jim it was a great meeting you today and seeing your car, we plan on being at the track on Saturday and will be parking at the same place.

Thank you for the invite to your place and I wish it fit into our plans but we already paid for the room we are staying.
 
Well Hell.
Once again I missed meeting Jack and I didn't even know Jim was going to make his initial appearance. Drew and I cruised the Quail down the street before making it to the Cantina. There was some COOL stuff being unloaded there ... A 918 was making laps, GT40 MKIV on display (White #9), The Lemans winning Bentley and an unrestored Cheetah to name a few.

I did get to meet Kirby and he completely killed me in the ''best story'' category for the evening (I am not worthy) :)

Good fun.

Dang! We left about 6:00 as it had been a long day, the stop and go traffic seems to get worse every year.

Well, we missed Jack, too.... other than seeing him driving the opposite direction on Carmel Valley Drive...
But we do have an agreement to meet at the Concours Italiano later today and he said they'll be at the track on Saturday.

Heading to the track with Gray. He's running the B16 at 9:45 (I think) this morning.

By the way, I've got some other stories if you'd like to hear them!
:laugh:

Saw a black MkII at the Cantina, but never ran into the owner....

Later!
Kirby
 
We had a great day yesterday starting in Carmel then to the Aquarium and ending at the Cantina. Traffic and the mass of people did take its toll on our sanity (like we had any).

It was a good day in Monterey! We had cars from Jack Houpe, Rich E., Jim Craik and myself at the Superformance display thanks to Lance. Owners in attendance that didn't bring a car was Kirby Schrader, 906er, and Mike Murphy. Please let em know if I missed anyone.
