    Great pictures and always wonderful to see coupes together. Pretty rare sight to see 3 of them together! Thanks for posting.

    Was John Tongish with his "Yellow One" MK3 there at the Glen with y'all?

    Here is video of the highlight of my weekend. I got two good laps of following Dan and his friend Bill around in the other two coupes. It was pretty cool to look ahead of me going up through the esses and seeing two other coupes in front of me.

    I recored the video in 960p but for some reason youtube didn't upload it at that resolution so it is kind of hard to see the other cars. If any one has any youtube tips let me know.

    Here is quick of my coupe going by coming onto the front straight. Make sure your volume is turned up.

    Great photos! I am sorry I missed it. I was talking with Dan when we were at limerock. I had hoped to have swapped in my sequential Mendiola transaxle in time for this event. Sadly it did not work out.

    See you guys there next year for sure.
