This is the usual place holder for pics from Wilmington this weekend.

I'll be driving up to Wilmington tomorrow and I'll be taking pics Friday, Saturday and Sunday and will post the links in this thread.

Also, anyone who has pics, please feel free to post here!

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL weather here today for tech inspection.
Very good turnout for this meet! I don't know what the final entry count is but it has to be close to full of 150!
Talked with many old friends and met quite a few new ones.....Always a good time for me.

Here is my Google+ link to some of today's bikes and cars:

Great photos . . thanks.   Hope everyone runs fast and safe.  By the way, that Smart Car should probably be classed as an I/GT rather than as an I/PRO.  Only has two seats . . .

Google Plus is a fine place to post. As usual, guys, the pics are great.

Caputo's mc looks top of the line. Was wondering if he is going to run the bodywork.

Bill, I think Guy is working the bugs out this weekend. All of his runs I saw today were without the body.
I think I remember his last run was in the 180 range.
