Yuki...for some odd reason, I always thought your car was white. If I hadn't heard the horn, I probably would not have heard the phone. Windws down, exhaust, music playing...I was in a zone.

I had no idea Doltmo was behind me until he passed me at 131 & Hwy 37. I figured they got off around Keystone. Tummy was calling for lunch and I was in a hurry.

Also, what all shops did you visit?

Obviously I missed it all, the car is in the air with all the fluids out of it, I kind of ran out of time!

Newer model red Viper with matte black HREs on the square yesterday evening plus a bunch of old hot rods. A Mustange brigade was there as well - four pretty nice ones parked in a row.

EDIT: Going through the photo gallery, it looks like this is the viper I saw. Who is it? Photo was taken from the Dayton cruise album.

Was that at the Noblesville cruise in? It's Blair's Viper, you've probably seen him at events before, he just got those rims this winter.

As Webby noted...Jag.

Have to say visiting the shops was a true eye opener. All spectrums of race budgets. I'm not sure all of the shops we visited, but here's a few:
John Force Racing - they mill their own cylinder heads!!!
Pedregon Racing - Met Frank Pedregon and he has a sense of humor!
Jimmy cowan Motorsports
Beast - midgets, 1/4 midgets, sprint and parts
Lucas Oil
Torroc (sp?) - whole family races and wife was super nice and gave us a great lesson. Both kids, 14 yr old son and 12 yr old daughter race.
Several others I can't recall and we missed a bunch of others due to other committments.

We took a bunch of pics, will try to post later.

OK, not actually spotted, talking with owner:

1957 works Sebring Lotus 11. Raced Sebring 1957 - 1959. Purchased in 1971 from a Virginia junkyard for $400. Before and after pics below. Most will recognize the Corkscrew at Monterey.

1951 356 Porsche Cabriolet. Currently competing at Amelia Island & Meadow Brook. Before and after pics below.

Toss in a Super 7, 1951 356 coupe race car, 1950 Buick radical custom, and 911 project. Oh yea, his brother's Datsun 240Z BRE Racer purchased late 70's which some local intel tells me is #3.

All are in Indy!!! Yes, we all know which one I want to see first.

He said I could post the pics of the 11 and 356. Stunning work on both.

He intends to have the Lotus 11 at Putnam in August. Worth the trip just to watch it roll through the turns.

Spotted, Sunday morning about 10am on the east side of Indy heading south on I-465, then westbound on I-70 - black and silver Bugatti Veyron closely followed by a black RR Phantom.

Our friend Tim Durham, heading to the race in style!

I only saw like 10 seconds of it, but it was my first time seeing one on the road. Totally different car off of a stand and being driven...

Skyline? Or Ultima?

I wasn't aware of either on here.
Mark, I presume you told the guy with the 356 and 11 about the site?

I did. FYI...The 356 will be shown at the Carmel event, June 14th.

Webby...I think you need to get to this Carmel show. I have a feeling we'll see some really nice cars and great variety.
