I just got home (just in time for my son's Birthday Party later today) from the Cannonbird Run (still going on technically) and I have to say it was a Blast! Kind of a blur, but a Blast. What an honor to meet so many of you in person that I've know for so long on line... some for about 10 years now...
The even setting was incredible, the chance to get to know the group was a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet and talk with Mr. Bill Porter. Not to mention the behind the scenes information he bestowed upon us was humbling to say the least. He really opened our eyes to just how much thought, design and effort went into the car we all know and love! Road Runner Huh? Yeah, the Chicken is more fitting in the end...
Seriously, for an inaugural, National event... it was pretty nice to see 30+ First gens show up from all over the country! TX made the largest showing of Firebird spirit as expected, Utah, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, etc... well represented over all, I just wish I could have had mine there with me... especially for that mountain cruise! (Thanks for the ride Bjorn) Then there were a LOT of others like myself who flew in so we could experience the even no matter what...
Yes, it was a good time, I'm very glad I went and I hope everyone else had even half as much fun as I did... Hope you all enjoy the Horsepower for your Garage Walls!
Thanks to Mark, Scott, Raz, Jerry and everyone who helped along the way to pull this event together...
Here is just a quick link to most of my pix. I haven't organized, tagged or sorted them correctly yet, but something to look through at least. Of course my camera battery died right as we headed out for the cruise up into the Mountains... but you will all see a LOT more from everyone else as the week progresses. Bill Porters talk last night was also filmed and will be on the CD that is being produced. Incredible insight to how it all came to be...
