Subject: RE: Hey JP! Here's an invite for you.

Hi Jim: Thanks for the invitation. I regret that I won't be able to join the team at your upcoming event. I am joining with several other family members to attend my Grandson's graduation from the University of Tennessee during the days when you have scheduled your get together. Sure sounds like a fun time considering the characters you have identified as attendees.....I can hear the stories now...My best to you and all the team...JIM PERKINS>>

Thanks Jim and if something changes let us know.

OK, so there's no drag racing at BG this year so you'll have to bench race instead. Maybe that means Frank's car won't be staying with us. :-)

As for the 240 registered, we have 100 coming to the BBQ. Please register with us if you are coming to the BBQ here. We can only handle 125 or so.

Thanks & See Ya Soon!

Maybe we'll just have to have beagle burgers?

Over 100 registered so far gang. What a party!

Re: Ribs at JVD's
 

Welcome aboard Paul and Rick. Wel, it looks like we've almost hit the cutoff mark, sorry on one hand but on the other, we're going to have a nice time. I'm still trying to figure out how much room FU2 is going to need to do the Lindy hop and East Coast Swing. Someone else is doing the Jitterbug. Man....I'm glad I'm not getting old....

Re: Ribs at JVD's
 

JVD....thanks in advance for putting together this little shin-dig, it sounds
like fun is just a few days away....:cheers:
I understand the difficulities trying to throw a nice party, and appreciate you're efforts. Looking forward to seeing you standing there on one foot
with a hundred
ZR1 people around, you, smiling and having fun, after all
isn't that what it's all about?!

Re: Ribs at JVD's
 

Having fun has been the last 20 years since I entered this arena. The many friendships, a couple of flame wars, who could ask for anything else?

We've lost a few over the years but there are still many of the old guys and now many new ones coming to see what this is all about. Someone told me the other day they hadn't seen me so busy since the Legend Lives event. Sure brought back a lot of memories. We'll see if we can't create a new memory or two with "The Legend Lives On".

Thanks again to all of you who are making this event one to remember. The NCM says the registrations are topping 250 and I know of many who are coming to register Thursday with the NCM. =D>

We have some terrific auction items for our BBQ auction. When you find out who the benefactor is I'm sure it will warm your hearts.

Re: Ribs at JVD's
 

Hey Gang,
I just wanted to give everyone a last update prior to your departure for Bowling Green. Weather is supposed to be very nice but warm for our BBQ. Around 88 during the afternoon and then cooling off to a beautiful 65 or so. Believe it or not we?ve already begun prepping the meats so at this time I?ll declare the BBQ full and registrations are now closed. We?ve got a huge crowd coming, some great things to see and some really nice items for our auction and raffle.
Things will be kicking off here at 5pm just as the NCM closes. Food will be served at approx. 6pm.
We are asking all of you to park in the Vette City parking lot directly behind the shop as we will be using our parking lot for deliveries and display vehicles. Of course any handicappers are welcome (I have a new found respect for them!) J
If any cares to make a last minute contribution you may do so at my PalPal address: vandornjim@aol.com and we will also have a kiddy at the door.
We have some special surprises for all of you and hope this will be a memorable evening.
See you all soon and DRIVE CAREFUL!:cheers:
jvd

Re: Ribs at JVD's
 

Let me know if room opens up for 2 more people. We made a last minute decision to come to the event and would love to attend this. Either way, we will see you all at the event!

We will be in a Ruby ZR-1 with Ohio Plates.
