Hi Shawn: I've enjoyed participating in the event and seeing all of the pictures and videos that have been posted!
As you may remember, I have been an association member for several years and trailered my '81 Comutacar over from St. Petersburg. I participated both in both the display and the autocross. Did anyone in the club get any photos/videos of my car? Thanks in advance.
