2013: LCP Madness Part 2

Image
The LCP reunion tour continues 1,790 miles from Sonoma, CA in Austin, TX. At a party graciously hosted by John and Cindy Greenwood at their stunning home on Lake Austin, numerous legendary, infamous, shady, and nefarious LCP veterans gathered to tip a few tequilas and exaggerate Carrera stories - what fun!  And I have to say, these guys clean up pretty well! Thanks everyone for an unforgettable gathering:  John and Cindy Greenwood, Jim and Maggie Taliano, Sarah MacKenzie, Jake Shuttlesworth, Rusty Ward, and Cap't Bill Beilharz and Debbie Ties. We set sail for Cancun tomorrow - "Fair seas and following winds!" Sarah MacKenzie & Jake Shuttlesworth Maggie & Jim! Party favors at the Greenwood's house Rusty is here..... Sarah explains "life down under" to Maggie & Debbie Happy times with Bill & Rusty I'm so happy I can't see straight... John Greenwood & Jake Bill, Debbie, Rusty,

2013 Sonoma Historic Motorsports Festival & Mini LCP Reunion

The Sonoma Historic Motorsports Festival was amazing and the best part was getting to see a whole pile of La Carrera friends.  Nothing but smiles and laughter the whole weekend!  And there nothing like California wine country, it is so beautiful.  Also met some fabulous new friends and spent Saturday with my cousins and Sunday with a dear old friend/former coworker.  The Carrera folks I saw included Michael Emery, Luca Maciucescu, Rich Morrison, Martin Lauber and his mechanic Eric, Chip Fudge, and Joe Harding.  On Sunday I finally read the race program and was stoked to see that Martin McGlone was racing.  I ran all over that place three times looking for him until I learned he had blown his Bugatti engine at Mille a few weeks prior and didn't make this race.  Sorry to miss you, Martin!  Also had a near miss as Brad and Erin Kaplan are road tripping in their 1929 Ford Pickup and I just missed them by a day but Lauren Scheller sent a photo of them visiting Carson's NorCal ranch
