Don, Steve & All,

It sure was great seeing you guys and all the cars in your Cascade Cobra Club together at PIR. Thanks a bunch for your time and details about Oregon. What a nice location there within the trees for all the car clubs at that center area location at PIR. And great weather and all on Saturday!

Along with all the great racing going on, we found many of the groups of car and a few motorcycle people there to be very passionate about their cars and clubs. Lots of great English cars and quite a turnout of enthusiasts for sure. In comparison to my recent years at Laguna Seca / Monterey Historics and Wine Country Classic at Infineon/Sears, it appeared to me you guys actually had a larger showing and variety of cars in each club, and more people hanging around their cars just enjoying the scene. It was great to see and experience and to listen to all the people just enjoying their cars.

Believe it or not, the club there who impressed us a lot is definitely the PDX Mini owners club there in Oregon. It is clear, those folks are serious about those Minis, planning drives, and enjoying every possible "Works" option detail known to man for Minis. My wife wants a tricked out Mini now as a result. We really got a kick out of those people and seeing everyone just haning out with the cars. If you guys ever do any long coastal drives, keep us in mind, it would be fun to come up there and check it out to see what you guys do and where you go.

Thanks again. DC
