I would like to set the record straight after reading all the misinformation on this board.
My name is Roger Grago and I was the one who organized the R Gruppe event in Monterey this last weekend. I made all the arrangements with the Hyatt which included having them block off the racket club parking lot with six LARGE traffic cones which were in place when I arrived Thursday afternoon at 4:00. Those traffic cone remained across the entrance to the parking lot for the entire weekend. This arrangement for parking was made at last years event as well.
Black Audi's statement of no cones or no sign of the lot being closed of is a misstatement of the facts. I will be happy to post the photos I took with some of them showing the cones in place with the dates on the photos as soon as I get them back from the developer (still 35mm film).
I was unfortunate that this posting has gone to the point it has. The R Gruppe members were disappointed that we could not take out annual photo. Cris was venting his frustration and I think rightly so. We certainly have gotten over it because it is not that big a deal.
So many like to throw dirt at the R Gruppe when ever they get a chance, so be it. But, as far as I know anyone who has really been to one of our events or has meet our members know that the trash talk is not true. The truth be known ask Tabs how many offers of help he has refused from R Gruppe members to help him get his 69 911S back on the road. This even after all the bashing he has done to the R Gruppe on this and the Early 911S Registry board. The R Gruppe welcomes all Porsche's and car enthusiast to most of all our events. Those of you out there who love to throw the dirt, join us at an event some time and see what the real story is.
All the best!
