This is at Kyle Kaulbacks place. Really nice guy and a very hard core Lotus collector as you can see... If your thinking about going, go!! You won't be disappointed.

Here is a video I shot (with my son Colin) of the opening night. For those who weren’t able to attend or just want to re-live the event.
