72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Should we dare hope for 30! That's GREAT Aaron. Your really going to have your hands full this Year with such a large crew! Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 You never know Doug. There's another 12 members who also are interested in coming but have not been able to commit just yet so we could hit 30 if things line up right. As it is now we have a total group of about 40 people and 22 cars. It's going to be a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 3 months to go! I was talking with the event organizers yesterday and registrations are up significantly. They already have about 400 cars registered and the limit for the show is 700 cars. If you have not registered yet I recommend doing so. Also, book your hotel ASAP if you have not done so yet.

TrunkMatt Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Never asked any of you this before... but are there any other Members that Play Tennis that'd be going?Looks like there are some nice courts nearby, and it'd be great to sneak away for an hour one day and have a match / burn off some of the beer. If so -- hit me up and I'll bring my Racquet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluemalibu Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 10 weeks to go! That's a great way to strike fear into the heart of a member! I'm burning the midnight oil, chipping away at this giant snowball to be able to make the meet... The engine has been reduced to just a half-empty short-block; the aftermarket A/C is 75% installed, the side glass is removed, and the interior is gutted. The posi carrier is disassembled and the brakes are in mid-transition to disc; the sheet-metal and bumper are off of the front end in anticipation of their replacements and the rear bumper is sitting in the box awaiting a second set of hands to help it get installed. I finished redesigning the 20" bucket brackets yesterday out of 1/4 x 2" stock and polyurethane bushings that tilt the seats back 3", move the seats 4" rearward, and raise the front of the seat 1". (I'm a pretty tall guy) using the existing mounting points: then I installed new foam padding in the driver's seat, finishing at 2:30 this morning. (Thank goodness Home Depot is just three blocks from my house! If I'm even able to push the car into the trailer to get her there, you'll see my tribute to the Depot... the poor car is closing in on having more parts on board from the hardware store than from GM!)

Rob Peters Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 What is with all of these UNOFFICIAL meets. I never knew they were not official. Does that mean that this year is not officially number twelve? Just kidding, Aaron, thanks for all of the work you do to make the Official Western Meets such a success.
