Flight Path TO RennSport Reunion IV Article & Photos by Diane & Emmett Koontz Getting set to Ever since Brian Redmond was here for our 50th anniversary and talked about a West Coast Rennsport Reunion we had been on the watch for any official word. On the day last spring that word got out we did a little happy dance and started planning hotel reservations, driving routes and kept an eagle eye on the web for when tickets would go on sale.

After some behind-thescenes maneuvering they came up with what we affectionately call the ���Emmett Koontz Good-To-Go Grant��� for helicopter hops to and from the event. First thing we did in Monterey was to pick up the little scooter. The ad had shown it in Speed Yellow and we were really disappointed when we unpacked it and it wasn���t yellow. But it was a great Bird���s eye view of the Rennsport Reunion IV
