The rally began at the Museum in Balboa Park and concluded with a fun-filled day at Sycuan, featuring food, prizes, and gaming at the casino. Attendees included Maria Tilton, Lenny Leszczynski, Andrew MacDonald, Richard Dinnen, Gary Wasserman, Kirby Horrell, Mike Shenar, Scott Shaver, Emily Shaver, David Underwood, Adam Day, Mike Miller, Brian Miller, Falon Leszczynski, Chika Davidson, and Nancy Strickland, along with fellow automotive enthusiasts and supporters of the Museum.
