Great pics Len - great to see you and the others.

BTW - where were all the Porsche's from (especially the GT!). Very cool.

The Porsche pics were from Saturday... The inside pics were really taken at My Garage... Being that that is the Name of the Garage at Mid America in Effingham, Il. They were having the 5th annual Porsche Funfest. There was some serious metal in that Garage, most owned by one Family. The GT was on loan from Porsche..

I think they are limited to show and display status, with the 2000 mile/year limitation, but only after they pass EPA.

There was an article about the conversion companies. Most of the converted cars seem to be getting upgrades to the 550-600 hp. range. Got to keep that exotic car speed competitive . . .

There are a few for sale. One is in autoweek for around $350k.

You were at the Tweeks show? I thought I recognized the garage pics. I found out about that one the day of. I went to it a few years ago when I had my 928. It is a nice little drive there and awesome collection of Porsche.

Yep that's from Tweeks, now Mid-America Funfest, He is building a Track, AutoX course, and Drag... They are into the cars there...
The person that owns all of the P-cars is good friends with the owner of Mid America. It's hard to get good pics in the building because of space. Walking through is pretty awesome.. My kids and wife loved it.

Yeah and that AC feels real nice when it is 95 degrees outside like the year I went.

In Effignham? Oh my, that would be nice. Eff is not that far of a drive. Details, man. I want details.

Yes please! I am SO complely sick of Gateway. The old gateway was a much better course - just had fallen into complete disrepair.

So...is that 959 still there?? If that Porsche collection is still there I might drive and see it.

Most likely it is still there.. You could call and ask before you roll over to see it...

As far as the track goes... I did not hear completion dates or any of that I was busy snooping in the swap meet area..
I am sure he will have a press release when he breaks ground..

Hi Len, Looks like everyone had a great time, from the smiles. Thanks for the pictures! I am a little worried or just concerned about that BIG GRIN of yours next to the Ferrari though. Wouldn’t be thinking of getting one would you???

That is not me next to the Ferrari. That is KONSX.
However, I will eventually have a 360, just not a spyder.
Everyone had a great time... Got to see some of everyone.
The NSX guys, Matteni, NSX01, Jlindy, KOnsx, Matt, we all got to talk and hang out a little... It was a car filled weekend for me, and not one of the women in my family complained about being around the cars... My wife even saw a Healy that she really wants as well as a few others... It was definitely what the doctor ordered... Now I am just waiting for the X to get finished...
