Tom,
It is rain going south to FL and maybe some early rain the next morning of the event.

I'm OK but the golf course guys are worried with 700 cars on the golf course. ;)

Looking forward to pictures of the event tomorrow! Even though I was can't attend in person, I'm hoping for a little Carpokes buzz in the air nevertheless. 8-)

I placed 8 CP cards on my wipers with a 'take one' note. All of them got picked. I could have given away plenty more after the "carpokes.com" banner airplane flew by.

My PCA "goodie" bag is easily one of the best souvenirs.

Next year: I have a plan to get us together. It's an unknown road to get us quickly into Werks Reunion. It ends at the good side of the temporally closed Ferry site on A1A.

Amelia recap by Mark Vaughn at Autoweek. There are links to the 85-picture gallery embedded in the article that showcase some of the awesome entries this year - 260 vehicles in 34 classes. Amazing variety. I know those from Carpokes who were there this year had a blast! Wish I could have been part of it.

Part of the article's opening remarks: " ... since it was brought under the Hagerty umbrella last year, it has been fashionable to compare The Amelia to Pebble Beach. While they are each distinct in their own ways, you can certainly go along with the common comparison that Amelia is more laid back, less stressful, and maybe more fun."



Another link to picture gallery from the Hagerty Cars & Caffeine event the day before that includes a lot of Porsches:

The Amelia Island Concords has really grown from it's 1st event in 1996.

I went first in 2019. I still have the last 3 parking passes.
