I am registered and reserved at the Holiday Inn, University Plaza. Looking forward to the trip.

Arriving Wednesday afternoon.

We are getting a group together to caravan down on Wednesday. We will probably depart the Northern Virginia area (location to be determined later) early Wednseday morning.

Anyone north of VA that wants to join us, PM me or ZZZZR1 and we will make arrangements to meet up.

Jim

[JThomas]

Registered. See you brothers in Bowling Green!

[Aurora40]

Yes, please let us know on the drag racing. I'll probably go anyway, but if the drag racing is during the week I'll need to change my hotel res. times as well as when I leave.

[QB93Z]

Dave,



Will you have room for my drag radials in your car?

Jim

[zrss]

Okay gang, THERE WILL BE DRAG RACING. The Buick GN folks have Beech Bend rented for the entire week but they are willing to let us crash their party. They have test and tune set for Wednesday, May 13, and we are welcome to jon them. There is not a firm schedule, and probably won't be, since it's a test and tune, not class eliminations. That means we should be able to make lots of runs, and can pick the cars we run against.

We will find out later this week how much they will charge us. They have been very courteous and I expect charges will be reasonable. I will post the charges as soon as I have that conversation with them.

At this point, we need to get a rough head count of racers so we can let the Buick folks know how much time we will need. Post up if you want to race.

Jim
