locost7018 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Well I am trying to generate interest in a Midwest Se7en Gathering here in Kansas City for 2008. All types of Se7ens are invited, be they original or clone. The Kansas City All British group has expressed interest in having the Se7ens as a Featured Marquee at the All British Car Show August 31 and Sep 1 (Labor Day weekend). Last year there were about 170 British cars there. A picture of a Lotus Seven will be incorporated in the artwork for the tee-shirts and awards for the entire show. The actual show is Sunday the 1st from 9am to 3pm. On Saturday, August 31, they will have other activities like, maybe, an AutoTest (a slow speed AutoX) or a rally or both. If we wanted, we could participate in those or do something on our own. We would definitely have a cookout and B/S session at my house (30 miles from the show site) on Saturday night. Are you interested???? What are your thoughts and suggestions? Or would you like to have another weekend get together on another date when we are just Se7ens? Please let me know if you would attend and if you are bringing a Se7en. Even if you have not finished (or started) your build you are invited to come. Please post on this forum so everyone can see your comments. Russ “Event Coordinator” Amos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I'm interested. When you set a date I will add it to my calander and see how it fits with other summer activities. I like the idea of combining it with the British car show and then some Se7en only activities. Is a track day possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locost7018 Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 I think any kind of track day would be out because of not a lot of interest any insurance restrictions. Judging by the response of other forums looks like Aug 31-Sep 1 will be the dates that it will happen. Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locost7018 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 This is my second reminder to you all about the Midwest Se7en Gathering in Kansas City over Labor Day Weekend 2008. It is being held in conjunction with the Kansas City All British Car and Cycle Show. See the link at http://kcallbritish.tripod.com/index.html. Sevens of all types are going to be the “Guest Marque” for the show. On Saturday, August 30, there will be a nice long tour of the local twistys with stops at some of our local attractions. That night we will have a Se7en’s only BBQ and B/S session at my house. On Sunday morning, the 31st, the car show starts with awards presented around 3pm. The Se7ens class will have three sub classes in it each with special 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards. The first sub class is Original Lotus 7’s and Caterham’s, second is “Kit 7’s” like Westfield’s, Birkin’s, Ultralight’s, etc. and the third class will be Locost Homebuilts. These places will be determined by popular vote by Se7ens Class entrants. In addition to these awards there will also be 1st through 3rd place for the entire Se7ens class that are voted on by the entrants to the British car show. So it is quite feasible to get two awards in the same show. The T-Shirts that are given out at the show will also have a Lotus Seven on it as part of the show logo this year. Entry fees for the car show and tour should be around $30. BBQ fees have not been determined yet. If you are interested in attending this event please email me, Russ Amos, at trialsman@kc.rr.com. Even if you are in the process of building a Se7en or are seriously contemplating a build, you are welcome to come. I know this seems early but I am trying to get a better idea of the number of people coming. So far there are five that said YES and about twelve that said MAYBE. If you have already contacted me about this event, please do so again so I will have your email address in my records. Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparecr Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 My brother is in Lawernce so I may be able to figure out this trip. So lets say maybe to my Caterham being there. Depends on the old work schedule. But anything Lotus related is normally cool with them:d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locost7018 Posted April 5, 2008 Author Share Posted April 5, 2008 Here is the current count of the group. Remember all that is on the list will not come to the event (I know of at least two). I would expect only 50 to 60% will actually come but I hope more will show up.
