Just like they are talking about making NY city it's own state that would be great for the rest of the state but we'll keep long Island though. But the city would probably go broke in a month or so without upstate money flowing in. Oh well we can only dream about that. But yes this is going to be a great meet for sure.

502ci Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Thanks for the quick response. Not sure what I listed my car under...it surely needs to be in "Super Modified" class in that case. On a side note I never have my car judged in the club or at Carlisle. I never put the paper on the dash.Ā Maybe someday when/if it ever gets restored I will.Ā š 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Peters Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 With the number of members we have registered already someone asked me if I had any idea what the attendance for the Saturday evening Award Dinner would be.Ā Ā I counted up all of our members and guests and if we were to hold that Awards Dinner today and every member and their guest attended there would be 135 people at that dinner.Ā We will easily fit our group Award Dinner in the vendor food court area. rob 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
