1997 Great Lakes SE-R Bash

By Larry MacLeod

HERE IT IS!!!!! You poor saps who missed the BASH... I expect to see you next year. Maybe we'll go a little further south and try to include you Georgia guys, or D.C. people.

NWOR posted results from the AutoCross we took over...

Please disregard that "Larry Macleod" in the DS results. The REAL Larry Macleod didn't race that day.....

Here is what the Hotel parking lot looked like Sunday morning. That bus in the edge of the photo was from a Church Choir group that shared the Hotel with our wacky group.

This is me (Larry) lined up in front of Tim Prand's car (not sure if Tim was driving).

This looks like John Cozine in his red 200SX SE-R rounding the last corner on the course.

Rob Cadle running around the cones, and not his usual through them.

Tim Prand's alternate driver (I don't know his name) pushing it through a corner.

That's George Perinis in the Silver '96, and Gary Kelly in the Red Classic.

Wayne Cox plowing over a few pylons.

George Perinis going through the lane changes.

That's Gary Kelly grazing past a few pylons.

Mark Schoenholz going as fast as the silver stripe on his car...

On the left is George Perinis, the right is Mark Schoenholz, and Matt Niaura's NX behind them. Wait a minute!!! That's me in the background drinking my Mountain DEW!!

And Rob Cadle in front of Larry Weeks and Pat Griffith looking at Pat's car, with George Perinis, George's girlfriend Tracy, and John Cozine towards the right rear. That may be Steve Attwood on the left.

And this is another car getting its timing done (one of about a dozen). That's Steve Theil and Gary Kelly (Gary's car)

From front to back, Steve Thiel, Igor Kofman, Larry Weeks, Bob Liu, Ron Chong and Rob Cadle head to Don Pablo's after the Bash for Mexican food, margaritas and LaBatt Blue.

A whole bunch of CSPers ready to take to the course.

This looks like one of the brothers in the FAST-EGG car.

Tom Moxey in his beautiful Classic.

Pat Griffith going fast.

And Larry Weeks was doing his brakes all weekend in a car that later faced carnage...

And I just had to put this pic of Wayne Cox up. Thanks Pat for the photo.
