POCA Fun Rally

Four days and tons of fun. Go cart racing, Shelby factory tour, Charleston mountain cruise, Red rock cruise, tech session, car show , Pantera people and 852 miles on my P car. Looking forward to next years event. Chuck

So where are some pics from Vegas?

David I'll shake a few pics out of the cameras in a day or two. Look for them in the event photo forum.

BTW ... I enjoyed meeting everyone at the Fun Rally; new faces like Mike Thomas, Klas Norrhed, Doug Lambert; and old faces like Forest G, Steve from Morro Bay, Kent & Sandi Snyder. Seeing old friends like John & Beth, Kevin Hubby, John Taphorn, Bill & Cindy Harris, Jim & Carol Coyne, Judy McCartney, Mark Mensen, Jack & Judy DeRyke, Chuck A (7260). Spent some time with Dave & Linda, Coz & his boys, Dennis & Bobbi, Larry Stock, Art Stephens, Julian Kift. Larry Finch went out of his way to introduce me to his wife Donna, thanks Larry. It was also my first opportunity to congratulate Mark McWhinney face to face since he's taken the president's position at POCA.

Our Go-Kart event went very well, I'm glad we were able to liven up everyone's evening. It's always my pleasure and honor when I can do something in service of this hobby and for you the owners.

I'm bummed I didn't get to meet you guys. I had a bunch of big projects going on and I couldn't ever seem to get away.

I did stop by the Orleans Thursday night around 9:00pm to see all the cars. NICE!

Just returned from the Rally. Very nice to see everyone and meet new faces from the board.

I was taking to a bartender about our get together and he said I missed it. Late last week they had about a hundred Ferrari's on the third floor of the parking garage. They even had a guard watching them.

Never seem to be in the right place at the right time.

And the week before that the Gold Cost (just north of the Orleans) had their HUGE, annual rat rod show. Awesome.

I was going to get all of my Ferrari/Lambo friends together to meet you guys, but not only did I end up busy, but the Pantera event was the same weekend as our Northern Trust car show (mostly Ferraris and Lambos), the national Porsche club track day (LV Motor Speedway), a Route 66 run and a private members-only track event at Spring Mountain. Everyone I knew was at one of those events, so it was impossible to put together a "welcome to Vegas" group.

Hopefully next year won't have so many conflicting events.

Although I got in late, I was able to stop by and see some of the cars at the Orleans. Just beautiful. I enjoyed meeting those that I did and the event confirms how much I need to get a Pcar. Special thanks to Mike for answering all of my questions for the better part of an hour.
