May 18 Saratoga Springs NY Invitational

[duane_sword]

I will make the 3-4 hour cruise from Boston on Friday afternoon May 17 to participate in the May 18 Saratoga Springs Invitational (confirmed registration today, final entries open until May 10).

Anyone else planning to attend?

Coupe cruise anyone?

Hi Duane,
I may see you there. But because of scheduling, I will probably have to leave early that morning - no cruise for me. btw, the museum newsletter says that the Bugelfalte, a racing CSL, a 507 and teh Warhol M1 are on display. That is worth the 3 hour drive.
If I don't see you there, maybe I'll run into you at Larz Andersen, etc.

Mako, hope to see you out there! Yes I am going given the great collection they have in the current display at the Saratoga Auto Museum. My mobile is 603-502-6252

I will be on the other coast...
BUT I plan to attend the Vintage at Saratoga in October.
Anyone want to share a room to cut costs?

Stan,

Best to be upfront about your snoring. Or was it Andy?

Had to turn down my invite. Am booked for The Vintage in Winston-Salem the week following the May 18th event and am already booked for Saratoga in October.

Enjoy...it should be a great gathering!!

Beautiful day put here in Saratoga Springs NY. BMW is also the marque on display in the museum with the Andy Warhol BMW M1 art-car on display alongside a dozen sweet BMW cars and a dozen BMW motorcycles. Indeed an E9 is part of the collection.

Some photos attached.

Just returned from Saratoga - three hour drive to get there, only to be turned away at the gate because they put up a fence and said no dogs this year (I'm a single puppy-daddy this weekend). Duane was nice enough to dog sit for a few minutes as I sprinted through the field and took some hurried photos that start here:

(there is clearly a bias for a certain little red car)
Duane, the car looked great and definitely held its own on the field of six and seven-figure cars. Hope the next time I see you we can hang out for longer than a few minutes.

Proud and humbled to report that coupe VIN#4310155 was bestowed a class win today, pre-1976 Sports.

The E9 was surrounded by Porsche, Bugatti, Shelby, Maserati, Mercedes, Rolls-Royce, Triumph, Daimler, and many more.
