Signing
Jim D. doing what he does best -- rolling posters for enthusiasts! John S. from San Jose getting the new SMS 302 poster signed by Steve! Scott R. (and wife Lois behind him) from Washington visiting with Steve while Jim D. waits for his next roll. Chris T. (Speedlab yellow Extreme with Scenic Roof) awaiting autographs from Steve. The line is long for autographs from the legend known as Steve Saleen! At the doors are future SMS employee, Briana H. and Steve's daughter, Molly.

Spring H. of SMS (warranty and general go-to person extraordinaire -- and former Saleen employee) posing with funny-guy Jim D. next to a recent SMS restoration of the Speedster formerly belonging to Liz Saleen -- the current owners brought it down from Washington for a fresh coat of Lizstick! Dinner Jim D., Molly, Lois R. (behind Molly), Scott R., Deb T. and North T. Jim D. seeing the prices on the menu leaving the restaurant while Curt P. wonders what's going on. Courteous doormen Curt P. and Scott R. Jim D. negotiating with Molly "I'll buy you dinner if you sit with me." (He thought she was only going to get a salad, and not the Sirloin!)

Knotts
The SMS booth at Knott's was buzzing all day long. Fred Blum of SMS (he's been with Steve off-and-on since 1984), Karl Mahl (formerly of Saleen and now with Roush) and SMS sales manager chat it up. Brother and Sister, Sean and Molly, hamming it up at Knott's. Steve signed over a hundred posters at each of the two autograph sessions at Knott's, and Steve's right-hand girl Vivian rolled virtually each and every one -- Thanks, Vivian! Ben C. "Ponypinoy" got a primo spot at Knott's -- it pays to be on the parking crew even if you have to show up at 5:30 a.m!

Wrapping UP!!!
After the show and during teardown, Ron H. (father of Briana H. and husband of Spring H.) posing with "Molly." Ron is one of several trusted employees who has worked with Steve for more than 10 years. Steve in his Ford GT telling the story about how it's tough to remember to press the "Start" button. In the background, one of Spring's boys talking "video game" with North T. while he loads-up "Liz" after the show. Even though the show is dismantled, Ben's S281 3-Valve with Supershaker upgrade and SMS badging looks pretty cool next to the prototype SMS 302
