  1. Gents, great idea!

    Mark, please send me an email of what you are thinking, but I recommend that you fly into one of the three airports: MRY (closest), SJC (an hour away by car), SFO (two hours away by car).. see what flights are possible.

    I recommend that you arrive Wednesday August 14th, and then depart Monday August 19th. (much of the action starts on Thursday, but Wednesday is probably better so you can adjust to the time change)

    Also, I will help with special hotel pricing.

     

  2. Friends coming to Monterey... the Thursday evening "Welcome to Monterey Party" is a great time, and perfect for catching up with everyone once you arrive in town!

     

    Roy and MANY other LP'ers will be in attendance!

     

    More information and tickets on the event website: https://italianstampede.com/

     

    Here are a couple pics from the start of the event last year when guests were just starting to arrive:

    I will be there.... headed up from Los Angeles in an LM002 on the Italian Stampede! The question is... what is Roy driving on the Stampede?!?

     

  4. Bill Dayton, Chrysler designer that finished the Diablo passed away March 2nd 2018. (Sad news that I recently heard from his widow.)

     

    Bill Dayton moved to Italy on assignment from Chrysler in 1989 to finish/revise the Diablo design. (Chrysler was not happy with the Gandini design, and felt that it needed changes - the Diablo we have is what resulted.)

     

    Bill was a kind gentlemen, and lived local to me in Michigan. I was fortunate enough to meet him at a car event in Michigan where I had my Diablo entered, he walked up quietly and pointed out a couple features, and commented... I remember designing that in the late 80's. (Of course I thought he was talking non-sense until he told me a little more!)

     

    May his soul rest in peace.
