No worries, enjoy your trip, we'll see you next time!

Here's some quick pics for those that weren't able to make it out. Maybe we'll see you guys next year
Thank for for sharing those pictures!

Can't wait for the next time we meet.

Cheers
Jon
Thank you for taking time to come out and play!

Cannot wait to see all the pictures and video footage! My friend Anthony will send me a link to all his photos so I can share them with you all. Thank you to everyone for making this happen.
Awesome! I'm glad you and Anthony were able to make it--photos--yay! As I'm sure you already know you're the reigning champ on the db meter! (Even besting the results leader from last time--a little teaser for everyone else--results should be up in a few days after we proof them.)

Dude, you have serious ear splitting competition! You have to make the next one!

I just have to say, that was an incredibly well organized and surprisingly fun event. Z owners are in a league of their own; I don't think I've met any group of BMW owners so friendly and well behaved. Coming from the 3-series crowd, I'm used to someone doing something stupid and getting kicked out by police or security.

Awesome looking and sounding cars today.
Miles, great meeting you and talking Mercs! Yeah, we're a pretty well behaved bunch, and up for fun and games as well. Most of us hit the track or AutoX pretty regularly, so those crazy antics have other outlets.

I skimmed through my recordings and they sounded good so hopefully we'll have some really nice media to go along with the data. Looking forward to seeing all of this year's coverage!
Wonderful! Thank you for attending, love your car (and S54 transplant), and the handiwork you do. PM me and we'll talk about how to incorporate that and the data into a new thread. Thank you again for coming along and joining the fun yesterday!

Thanks again to Ron for running point on organizing this one, and Kalim and Brent for recording video and dB, and to everyone that took their time out to get together for what is hopefully turning out to be an annual event (considering that most of us switch out performance parts on our cars on a yearly basis hahah).

It was great meeting all of you, and seeing some great Z's. Even though it was half the turnout of last year, it was still a blast. So...next time, more of you need to make it out!
Dude, thank you for being such a easy to work with co-event-leader. I only wish I had more folks like you to work with day to day.

Brent, thank you for all of the technical help and solid teamwork!

Data and video is being processed. Results (data) will be posted in a couple of days. Video may take a bit longer. One thing we were able to quantify is how much resonance (aka "drone") and frequency has an effect on the sound pressure levels in the cabin vs. the external sound pressure levels. Interesting stuff, which will be fun to reflect on and discuss.
