I forgot to look for my own track pics...
Btw Mikael, do you know by any chance who was running the track photo service (next to the Uniroyal tower)?

Track photos are on www.gbphotosports.com and should be on the web as of this Wednesday night
Mikael - thanks for the write-up and pics - we had a fantastic weekend and it made great reading.
Pat - 100 cars. Quite the event. Very professionally run. Didn't you feel odd that half the cars in the "court of honor" were yours ;-)
Kid - sorry we didn't see you more. I don't know how we got separated, but with that number of people and things of interest it was easy I suppose.
Somehow the DeTomaso Club of Spain's motto evolved to "Drinking for World Peace", thanks to the Norwegians aquavit, the French wine, and the Swedish creativity. I don't really remember why, but it sure made a lot of sense at the time!
Back at work and haven't even had time to look at our photos, but we'll post something when we do

Ah ah , Court of Honor ... No, not odd, but I felt priviledged to be the temporary custodian of those beautiful machines :>
)and being able to show them to as many enthusiasts as possible. ( Did you know that Spa Italia has beaten all admittance records since it was created.) Thanks to Jean Pierre Magalhaes and his team, and all our fellows enthusiasts, it was the largest DT event in Europe ever ! To me, the most important thing was to show bits and pieces of the ADA 9628 LM GT1 car, that has been in the shadow and dust for so long. Can't wait to sit down in it and do some laps in Spa ( or maybe the "Free rides" at Le Mans Classic next year.

I can imagine your wife misses me
I know, I know, you folks bumped in to others, and so did I... For sure we'll meet again sometime
The DeTomaso laps on Sunday aren't on the website, are they? I don't see them in Parade Laps 1 or 2, nor in Scuderia...
I think you're right Charlie !
Too bad, as we had a blast ( Lori and I ) ... There were so many tourists on the track, probably taking pictures of the countryside, as they were so slow ! and no pace car. It was just like a video game ( ask Lori Albino, she'll tell you ! )
Charlie, it's time for you to go to work and start planning Le Mans Classic 2012 ( 6-7-8 July 2012 ) See my post on the " event" section
Best to you and Madame :>)

No pace car?! I should have known, then I would have done that instead of driving home

Tim, Thanks for making the trip a memory for life.
I'm not sure if we in the Swedish club thanked Chalie enough for all the help we got from him during preprations and the over the days in Begium, THANKS Chalie.
