DC Area and Harpers Ferry, WV

Thanks to:

David Hwang for organizing the overall event

Scott Silverman who hosted us at Criswell Chevrolet, Lotus and Lamborghini. We got to check out some pretty neat cars very thoroughly and he even gave us nice limited edition Lambroghini posters.

Rosenthal Acura (Gaithersburg, MD) who, in addition to breakfast, lunch, Acura car care kits, a tech session, and letting us use their facilities, supplied the raffle with a certificate for a free oil change and one for a full car detailing.

More raffle gifts were provided by: RM Racing (several t-shirts and a full set of high-performance brake pads), Dali Racing (polished aluminum fuse-box cover, a cup holder and several t-shirts), OG Racing of Manassas, VA (several t-shirts) and Radial Tire of Silver Spring, MD (Momo shift knob).

Thanks also to David Nguyen and Ralph Reeside who plotted our scenic drive to Harper's Ferry, WV including a really neat ferry ride across the Potomac River. David also arranged for a nice buffet dinner at the Hill Top Inn with a fantastic view over the Potomac River valley.
