I lost about 40 of the photos I took that day, due to a problem that my camera exhibits when it fills up. It writes to 3" CD-R disks, and when it gets too full it doesn't have room to write out the directory structure or finalize the disc. My fault, I was too excited about getting pics of all the wonderful cars at Canepa and didn't pay attention. You'll see why soon.
The corrupted disc sat in a kind of limbo ever since; I made a few attempts to recover it to no avail. Then, in the process of doing this massive Dec '08/Jan '09 website update, I spent a bit more time on it since I am changing the menu generator script on the site with this update, and it's a hassle to insert items later. The software that finally recovered what data was recoverable was a product called CD Roller. I have no affiliation with the seller of the product, I'm just a satisfied customer. Apparently it works on any CD-R, especially when you have a multisession CD with problems, DVD-RAM drives, etc.Below is a high-level route map:
Here is a close-up of the tight sections, showing just how twisty the road is:
We stopped for a breather in Big Basin Redwoods State Park... (Dennis Kao foreground, L-R standing: Charley B, Steve B, Angelo - not sure of the green shark owner's name)
Stood around, stretched our Legs... (L-R Jim Morton, Steve Bondi, unidentified, Dennis K. again)

A tree with some history... I hope they didn't have to kill it to find out how old it was...

Again, Big thanks to Bill Ball, NorCal 928 & Jim Morton for putting on this fun event. I'm looking forward to next year!
