Triumphest 2010

I, for one had a fun time at Triumphest. I told my co-workers that it is always fun but not so restful- plenty to do- getting up early and staying up late. The autocross was challenging-hard to follow at first. I'll take part of the blame- I was not at the site early enough to walk the course. But I noticed people who walked, drove slowly on the first trip and still went off course. We would have benefited from paying more attention to the funkhana directions- we were to the basket ball throw and out of the basket balls. As usual, the funcours presented so many outstanding cars. The weather cooperated with bright sun and warm breezes. On the scenic drive we stopped in Leucadia at a Turkish restaurant- good food, interesting music, attentive service. A good part of the planning was the Saturday night dinner ending before 10:00. A good time and many thanks to the San Diego club that organized and carried out the event.
 
Got Photos?

The autocross course was definitely challenging, but honestly I think I liked the guided practice run better than the traditional walk-through. It seemed at least as effective (in my very limited experience) and maybe more so. But there were a lot of DNFs on the score sheet, so I guess some found it worse than others.

I spent a long time watching before I even took the guided practice run; but it really wasn't until my third timed run that I could start focusing on how to drive the course rather than where to drive. Even then I didn't feel I had done very well, but apparently it was good enough (1st in class).
 
Aloha Randall,

Thanks for the photos. Some good ideas for future projects. I liked the mirror on the sun visor mounting, I'm guessing it would provide better visibility than the fender mirror.
 
Well, you know what they say ... if you want the job done right, then do it yourself!

Besides, there IS a GT6 in there ... what kind of GT6 owner doesn't recognize a GT6 !?

:devilgrin:

Thanks Randall.

I am surprised no one else posted links to photos.

How many cars were there?
 
Monica put up photos on her facebook account.

Did anyone meet Monica out there? There were 4/5 Spiders at the show. Did anyone see the car with the lambo doors?
 
Did we tick Monica off.
Haven't seen her and she posted on the list for the first time and I said we missed her here.

<span style="font-size: 11pt"> <span style="font-weight: bold">I went to Triumphest for the first time this year. WOW it was a great time. We here in Wisconsin have some neat shows but this was well planned.

My goal is to get to this event next year in Big Bear. Does anyone know of the hotel that is hosting it?

You asked for pictures. . .
Well to to my website specifically of Triumphest 2010
