Great picture of all the 25 Titans and 10 Winkelmann cars taken by the track photographer, Historic Motor Prints.  Here's the  link where you can view their photographs of the event, including individual pics of cars on track, and order prints as you might desire.

Also, Darren Yardley was kind enough to share some photos he took at the Reunion.  They are posted on the British Sports Cars website (British car specialists for parts, restoration services, and sales).   You can see all his photos here.  Below are a

A couple of "teasers" from that portfolio.

Saturday evening banquet and awards dinner hosted by CSRG at the Willows Veterans Memorial Hall.  The professional event photographers, Historic Motor Prints, have a lot of nice pictures taken Saturday evening which can be reviewed here. 

Andy, Locke and Tom Franges --

Creators of this event.  Remember, 

this event was near Halloween.

Left to Right: Howden,, ??, Carol

 and Jamie Stiehr, & Mike Ries.

Andy's table includes James, Todd, Sandee Strong, David Bailey, Ken Bailey, John Gianelli, and Martha Lou Gianelli.

Even the otherwise distinguished 

Howden Ganley got into the

Halloween mood.  By the way, Howden has published a wonderful biographical book, The Road To Monoco, about his life-long racing pursuits and accomplishments.    A great read about "the good old days" of climbing the ladder to F1.  The book can be purchased here.

Bob Winkelmann was one of the 

speakers. 

Andy, Bob Alder, & Todd Strong.

This picture was taken because they

 were the only three who had attended all three Titan Reunions.   Interesting, there is a picture of all three lads (15 years younger!) taken at the 2000 GingerMan Reunion.   Click here to compare and contrast.

Howden Ganley (still in the spirit

of things) and Richard Hawkins  chat.

Ethan Shippert receives the Derek Lawrence Award from Ken Bailey for the fastest Titan in the feature race .  Titan Motorsport provided a beautiful crystal bowl.

Doug Trimble receives the Roy Thomas Concours Award from Richard Hawkins for the best presented Titan at the Reunion.  Titan Motorsport also provided the beautiful crystal trophy.
