Mr. B-

 

New club prez John V. was talking about the chance of a bona fide club booth at the show. Could be fun. Also, there is an auto-x there (or at least there was last year).

 

Since my brother lives nearby, I'm sure I'll be there. Maybe I try to get the local dyno shop/zetec specialist to run a morning session for us?

I going to try to make it. Mazda, you can have a go with my tow car if you like, If you think you can handle 210 Japanese horses. Of course, the center of gravity would be a little higher than you're used to. Don

I plan on being there. If the weather's bad I'll probably tow the Birkin, but if not: :7fume:

 

Would love to see a club booth with a nice selection of the different se7en brands. :)

Worth considering. One of THE automotive "happenings" every year. It's just a long day trip from Cincy, so it's feasible. Doesn't it ALWAYS rain?

 

I've been to a couple of them lately when it was nice.

 

The Corvettes at Carlisle was a disaster last year. They had a small tornado touch down. about 50 cars damaged (some heavily), several people sent to the hospital.

Jeff-

 

That's too bad. I had wanted to see you on track again.

 

But I think we could still support two events. Carlisle is much closer for the people in the NE region. It's guys like Mazda, Steve, Mike, and Scott who would be split between the two choices.

Well, the club officers had a call yesterday to discuss a few things, including USA7s at the Carlisle show.

 

We will have a tent on the general show field, near or adjacent the Lotus section. We'd like to keep the tent Se7ens-only (see club name), but welcome our Lotus friends to park nearby. The club is picking up the cost of the tent.

 

One or more officers of the club will be at the tent on Saturday from 9 to 4, other days and times by chance. Saturday is the prime day at Carlisle, with Friday and Sunday attendance very light.

 

We are trying to get a grill set up at the tent so we can just cook lunch for ourselves...simple stuff like burgers and hot dogs. There might be a minor donation taken to offset food costs....

 

We're planning on having some club stickers and/or literature available. No sales are allowed on the show field, so we'll just give people instructions on how to join the club online.

 

We discussed a short group drive in the early evening, culminating in a group dinner. This will allow people not staying overnight to maximize chat & blat time. Please chime in here if you are up for it.

 

Additionally, we suggest you preregister your car at the site posted below. If you do so before April 28, you'll save $10. There is also an option for people who need to rent trailer parking. Please note "USA7s" in the "Club" field, so we/they can track things.

Helpful email response I received from the organizers:

 

" Even if you're pre-registered for the event, you still need to check in at Show Field Regiatration when you first arrive. Show Field Registration is located in the lot just OUTSIDE of Gate 3. That is where you will receive your goody bag, etc and get your decal for your windshield. That decal is what gets you, the car and a passenger into the show for the weekend (children 12 and under are always free). After you have your sticker you can just drive right in each day. That sticker will also give you 24-hour access to the show field. So if you get your sticker on Friday then you'll be able to drive right in on Saturday and Sunday morning - you could drive in at 6am if you wish. And I can just about guarantee that if you arrive at 6am there won't be any wait at all.

With that being said, Show Field Registration opens at 7am on Friday and Saturday (8am on Sunday). You cannot enter the show grounds with your car until you have your sticker so you'll want to time your arrival accordingly on your first day. In other words, you don't want to arrive at 4am on Friday bacause you'll be waiting until 7am for Show Field Registration to open - unless you want to sleep in your car for 3 hours :) "
