Or maybe some Race shop where a driver or owner or both as a Special Guest.......Is there a Car Museum somewhere we can show case at........or some Street Festival..... We drove our Montes around Bristol Speedway a few years ago. Experience of a lifetime! I looked into 'renting' Indy Speedway for a round for one of our meets, but they wanted $1800 for one lap! So we had to settle for the tour bus... This year's meet will include a trip to Hendrick's Motorsport Museum... and a (bus) ride around the Lowe's Speedway...
kc8oye Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 i'm with sam.. Woodward! let's get one back up north
Rick Eckenfels Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 Andreas, my suggestion is the Bourbon Festival in Bardstown, KY. It is held in mid-Sept. This year's festival is Sept. 15-20. Several years ago, I tried to get tour going with my Vintage Chevy Club, but it fell through. The web site is www.kybourbonfestival.com Rick

With all the bouron flowing, it would be like dying and going to heaven!
Jared Richey Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 The Daytona Turkey Run would be awesome but its in November. Really to late for an Eastern Meet.
Andreas Posted July 13, 2009 Author Posted July 13, 2009 The Daytona Turkey Run would be awesome but its in November. Really to late for an Eastern Meet. Is Daytona North of NC? Maybe an effect of Global Warming?

FGMC72 Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Hendrick's Motorsport Museum...YES SIR...GO MARK MARTIN, You the Man... I think I missed something too..Andreas, you did say North of NC and EAST OF MISSOURI !?
BlueThunder Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Kentucky is north of NC.... Yeah, I had to look at a map to make sure, but that's what I thought. I've got family in the Bardstown area, so I'd be up for that! We're taking a vacation to Florida this November, conveniently timed around the "Turkey Rod Run" It, however, won't be in a Monte. Keeping my fingers crossed this frankenstein of a first gen I have will be "presentable" by this time next year -Derek A
Capri's 71 SS Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 I say further North for Michigan members to have easier access next year.
Jared Richey Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Hey Derek, didn't know you were on here. Post some pics of the progress.
