I got home last night after my epic road cruise. 2500 miles, over 40 hours behind the wheel, many hours @  4500-5000 rpm and the car ran really well.

 

It was great meeting you Landon, I told your story to quite a few people and bragged about your 2002 having over 430k miles!  I had as much fun on the drive to Santa Cruz as at the races.  Maybe someday we'll meet again!

2 days is def not enough time.

 

you need about a week to do it right. i've been going for a long time and anything less then 5-7 days is a waste imho

Definitely not enough time but anytime you spend there is definitely not a waste.....

Will next year be as exciting?  I'm seriously considering driving down from Canada.

 

Would someone run a poll?  Steve?  I'd be curious to know if there will be as good a turn out next year.

 

Oh yeah...where is the nearest campground?  That would be so much fun.

I go every year, and it is awesome every time, so much to see, we are there for a week and never get to 1/8th of it.

I do not know how big the BMW turn out will be next year since it will be 101st anniversary

 

The closest camping site is on the track. There are reserved spaces and general camping.  I think reserved spaces go up for grabs sometime in December. People from previous year have the right of first refusal. After that they release unclaimed spaces to the public. You can also do general camping. No reserved spaces. Some of it is on the hill so your tent might be tilted. Getting there on Thursday helps getting a good spot.

 

We will be in our space next year again.  This will be third year in a row.

I see myself in at least three of those photos, which is nice, because I don't actually remember much of Legends. I had a 102* Fever and a massive headache throughout most of the weekend. 

 

But overall, it was good.

what a awesome event.  i just got home.  unfortunately my plans to drive the car all the way back from delaware were shot down when 1200 miles from home in omaha NE the alternator quit so i had to tow i the rest of the way.  other than that, the cv joints and a wheel bearing the car performed flawlessly for over 5,500 miles in under 2 weeks

+5 on the pics.  Really Nice work.  Amazing some of the cars getting parked in the dirt up their at the track.  I followed an R8 in that was being driven really carefully down the hill up the hill over the bumps - pretty entertaining really.
