Keep up the good work... We need some kind of blog or archive for all of them. Also, I think we can be patient in order for you to watermark your stuff. It would suck if the interwebs sucked them up without giving you credit.

I only wish you'd caught me going through the corkscrew!!!

Thanks Eric! I have a couple photos of them all going through the corkscrew together but I haven't gotten that far in the editing process. I might jump ahead to those several pics tomorrow night just for you though!

Thanks! I'm essentially going to be using this thread as a blog/gallery of my photos from the trip and I'll just upload more as I continue to edit them. I just went through and individually watermarked about 105 photos to update my gallery with and replace the ones posted above with watermarked photos in wallpaper sizes. I'm exhausted though so I think I'm going to get some shut eye and start up posting again when I get home from work tomorrow.

I'm really sorry I didn't make it back in time to get some pics of you driving through the corkscrew. Travis and I both tried to make it back in time but luck just wasn't on our side on Sunday.

At least you got to hit Compagno's and eat the area's best sandwiches and cake!! Now put some lotion on that sunburn...

That pic will be my new wallpaper. I can't wait to see it. In a weekend full of amazing cars and races, watching Brian Redman carve up the field through the corkscrew lap after lap in that Gulf 908 on Saturday afternoon was absolutely unbelievable. Also, the sight and sound of all of those 917's and 908's coming through the corkscrew lined up two across during the last warmup lap was a sight I will never forget.

Yeah those 908/3s in Gulf colors were amazing... It's so compact, so nasty - the power-to-weight ratio has to be ridiculous.

I finished updating all of the pics with watermarks and added some more to my previous photo post. Here are a few more.











Here's that 250 TR that crashed in the corkscrew (pre-crash)

^^^^
Gulf colors on those style cars are simply stunning and iconic. Same with the Martini livery on the 911 RSR's....iconic and stunning. Those colors literally defined sports car racing in the 70's. Those Brumos liveried cars were really cool looking as well.

The whole experience was so overwhelming. All of those iconic, historic racing Porsches with so much racing history. It really was like being in a 60's & 70's sports car racing living history museum.

That was easily the best sandwich I've ever had. Bennett is my friggin' hero!
