To all of you that were able to participate in the 2003 event, I was glad to see new faces and renew last years greetings. Friday, was the best day for weather, but even with the rain on Saturday, 29 Turbo Coupes were able to make the field. I have pictures from the good weather on Friday and will pass them along to Nate for posting.
Hats off the Gary Schweikert, for the great job he did on the Carlisle 2003 arrangements.

It was a great time. Put a lot of faces with the names you see everyday on the boards. There were some very nice TC's there. Looking forward to next year already.

hey keeps you guys on your feet?
i think she is seriuos about gettign a name on here to translate this crap i type
it was great to see everyone, new and thoses from prior years. I'm sorry I didn't get to say "bye" to all but I had to leave suddenly to go pick up my 3rd TC for the trip back. The new bird is an 87 rolling chassis complements of Dan S. Eventually it will get all the good stuff from the current daily driver.
The weather was not great but the camaradeire
more than made up for it. Thanks to Gary for ALL his work and to everyone that made the trip
