Reminder:

Hotel reservations are open now and end April 14th for the block rate. The organizer would like a firm attendee count by April 14th so he can notify the restaurants for space.

Let me know, so I can get him notified.

Thanks in advance!

You said it, not me

 

[JPas914]

I have decided....I’ll be there with my Goblin.

Admittingly, I finally actually looked at the maps today. I know most all of the roads and it should be a really good drive. I guess I never really thought about some of the areas we have around here to drive. Looking forward to it!

Reservation confirmed! Hype!

Here is an update for this event:

Prep work is progressing and this is what I have ready so far. As we know with cruises, things change so the time's are approximate and I allowed time and places to gather and wait for stragglers. Being a boating area, there are plenty of refueling options for ethanol free gas.

Wish I could’ve attended this, looks like it’s going to be a blast. If only I got my chassis a month earlier >.<

 

[Ross]

Looks like my weekend is freed up, as graduation is moved to Wednesday. So I am going to try to join you guys!

 

[JPas914]

Just confirmed my reservation!

 

[Dale E]

Time to get your packing list done and bags organized. Tools, tarps, spare parts, flat repair. jacks, electric wire, tape, straps, light bulbs, fuses, hoses, etc. Here's a teaser for one of the roads you'll travel.

I jumped off the fence. I'm in, but I won't be up there until late Friday afternoon/early evening.

Another video from Chris's recent scouting trip. Somehow the audio is not sync'd on this one.
This ones a bit long!

We have 27 cars confirmed, 47 total people, but not all will be attending all three days. I am still waiting on three confirmations, 2 sevens and a local with an MGB.

Looking forward to seeing everyone in a few weeks.

We live 2 hours north and plan to come see the cars and meet the people Friday evening on the strip. Me, my wife and 4 kids. Excited to start my build.

You have my number if you need to locate us. Should be a pretty good size group once everyone gets there. I'm sure you all can get a few rides in also.
