Yea, thanks for everything. It was my first Third Gen Fest but definately not my last.

I think the cruises got mest up. Directions said get onto 30 yet take sheffield to the BK. I think it was just a little mistake, should have been take 30 to the BK? but a few of us made it there. Sopposively we got booted so I left and only a few cars followed to O'Hara's which was CLOSED!!!! I see that place jam packed every saturday night

O well, it was a blast and my car made it.

Yeah thanks a bunch Denny and Beth, It was my 3rd time and one of the best. And yeah Adam got home in one piece, and I only burned 1/4 of a tank getting home, and I was running E85 (higher alcohol is like more octane)

See everyone over the summer and then next year!!

I will get my pictures up as soon as possible

Awesome time! This was my first time for this event and I will definetely be attending them in the future.

A big THANK YOU goes to Denny and Beth for all the planning, time and hard work that went into this event. I would also like to thank all those who helped out.

Got home at 1:30 am without any mechanical incidents. Had a run in with a drunk driver at about 12:30 that made things interesting. Car was either a Toyota or Honda (Corolla or Accord type body style). Apparently they/driver got pissed when I passed them and another vehicle in front of them. They then tailgated, flashed their hi-beams at me and threatened to rear end me/run me off the road. I said screw this and put the pedal to the floor and buried the speedo. I would have been more than happy to see a cop at this point. Unfortunately I didn't get plate numbers when I was behind them otherwise I would have called the cops/911. They tried to keep up but I kept the high speeds up for a couple of miles and they kept getting farther and farther behind until there was another car that came between us then they decided to mess with them Needless to say I was wide awake now

It was nice meeting new people and putting names to screen names as well as seeing those I have known for years.

Can't wait for ThirdGen Fest 07

Mike

First Year at the Fest

My wife and I had a great time at our first Thirdgen Fest. I was impressed with all of the cars and had a great time talking with many of you.

Thank You Beth and Denny for putting on this great event.

I will definitely see you all again next year.
