BTW... did you got guys the chance to keep up this tradition?

Plizzzzzz share!

Six modelers in my dungeon built a kit of a LM car during the race. We had a great time and we didn't have any DNF's

There may be some pics around later.

The cars completed were:

Ferrari 312P coupe
Ferrari '57 TR
Ferrari 250LM
Ferrari 330 P4
Ferrari P2 White Elephant
BMW M1 Pro Car
Ford GT40

It wasn't really a plan to build so many F cars it just worked out that way.

Which one is yours, Brian?

I assume the white elephant is Bob's. And the models do look great, I really envy you that you can organize such joint builds.

I got lazy this year for the event. Not only did I cheat like crazy to finish my Hasegawa Testa Rossa in the 1958 NART "Lucybelle II" scheme, but I left my camera off until the end of the race.

Great time had by all

First models were done by about midnight EST. Mine was done by 1:15AM. A couple were done right at the end of the race.

You're great guys. Ok I wait good picts

, models looks gorgeous. And for sure more stat. data are appreciates: liters of beer drunk (I suppose there wasn't young Mike kicking around...or yes?), tons of popcorn.. etc

Wey: not to know your own things, just to be ready to manage the first euro- "Palooza" over next years

Amazingly enough, we didn't consume any alcohol at all

and I'm not sure but I think we have never been drinking for the race.

Not that we're all non-drinkers (some are anything but

), but we just don't have a tradition of drinking while modeling. Drinking would make it more fun, but DNF's are not fun

Eating is another matter. We had all kinds of food; delicious homemade cookies & brownies baked for us by Mach I 2003's wife, lots of assorted chips, pretzels, "Jelly Belly" jelly beans, I made homemade guacamole dip, we ordered pizza, and consumed mass quantities of carbonated beverages. I attempted somewhat healthier mass-consumption by also bringing some bananas, mangoes, and red cherries.
