Thank you for the very informative posts on both the Newport C&C, as well as the Newport Car Museum. My 29 year old son-in-law is moving to Newport, RI this week cross-country from CA, and I've already passed on the C&C schedule to him, and will also inform him about the museum. If I can get off work, I'll be with him a few of those days helping out with the move.
He is a very knowledgeable auto enthusiast and is the guilty ![]() Anyway, I hope you get a chance to meet him at one of these events. He drives a nicely kept black '83 911 with ITB mods from https://rasantproducts.com/, has met Magnus Walker, exchanged emails and was invited to visit his place twice, bringing along a few friends. Yet he loves our ZR-1s too, or just about anything speedy on 4 wheels. Thanks again, "G"

I hit the gate there at about 7:45 AM last weekend, there was still lots of room on the grass. Filled up fast though.
Registered for this weekend too.

It was a real pleasure to meet you, Mystic ZR-1, at the Newport C&C this morning, as well as your friends. My son-in-law also enjoyed chatting with all, and, of course seeing the marvelous ZR-1s you and Big John brought. Gorgeous venue, if not the best we’ve been at!

It was a pleasure to also meet vinlt5. We swapped stories and had some good laughs. Thank you for taking the time and showing me around, with a sneak peak at a few hyper cars to be put on display soon. Such an outstanding venue you and your team has put together!
