The only visit to MAM for us this year will be with the NCC on the way to BG for the NCM's 15th anniversary party.  The only other long distance trek on the calendar for 2009 is to Colorado in July for a niece's wedding.

Otherwise there will be just a couple of day trips or maybe a single night over-nighter to a nearby destination.  Not a lot of time or dollars in the travel budget for this year.

Hope some folks within a day's drive of the TC area can come in for this get-together.

There's four (possibly)...!!!  There are nearly 40 current and former members within a 50 mile radius of me that I plan to contact.  If only half or a third of that number show up it will still be GREAT get-together.
 
I know it is a "chicken-and-the-egg" kind of scenerio at the moment but in order to put together an agenda it would help to know what the interest level will be.  I'll try to have more info scoped out in the next couple of weeks.

Last Friday afternoon I visited with the folks at Doug Rippie Motorsports and they are happy to have us visit...!!!  So that will be a stop on Friday as they're not open on the weekend. 
 
Early in his career Doug campaigned a C3 (and is currently restoring the car for vintage racing) and then moved into C4s.  He worked with the Mercury Marine folks (who built the HEART of first ZR-1) on some special racing variants of the LT-5 and became one of the few "tuners" who specialized on that engine.  You can read more about their operation on their web-site.
 
Hope to have a few more things lined up in the coming weeks and have a published agenda posted by the end of April.

So far response to this idea has been a lot less than I thought it would be.  Thinking of scaling it back to just something on Saturday.  Thoughts?

If there isn't any more interest in a formal get together by the end of April I'll scrap those plans and release the block of rooms at the motel.

I truthfully can't say. With Ted not having a job right now, I don't know if I can spend the money. Sorry, I wish I knew.
