I have had inquiries regarding trailer parking, here’s the scoop.
We have ample parking for cars and trailers here on our property. You will be able to park your trailer unload and load without needing to reposition your trailer.

Local hotels/motels  (see 65.com for listing)  do have parking with turn around space.  However, I would recommend and encourage leaving your cars and trailers here Saturday night for both convenience and security. If anyone plans to be in the area Friday your welcome to park trailers here Friday as well.
 
Mark, I have sent PMs to  455PEV,  wildcat65 and gssizzler as you suggested. Thank you.

Again guys,  please continue help to pass the word.

   It is not out of reach for me to make it to Ohio, but that happens to be the week of our 1st wedding anniversary, for which we already have other plans, so won't be able to make it this year! 
   BTW, that is also the same weekend as the fall Charlotte autofair, but that should not have any affect on the folks in the mid-west.

We'll miss you Brian.  So, you and Holly are going the Charlotte Auto Fair for your anniversary celebration, right???  :-)

Enjoy!

I plan to be there. At least for Saturday. I have a very elderly father who can't be left alone for very long so making it a weekend trip is not in the cards. Oh, I'm going to ask you guys in advance not to razz me about bringing the car on my trailer. 3 hours in that car is more than Gail will put up with. (30 minutes is her limit..LOL)

For the record, some people find my car a little odd. Matching #'s engine, Protecto-Plate, original build sheet, original bill of sale, 4 original working T-3 headlights, original keys with the security code knockouts still in them, glass washer concentrate bottle under the hood, but yet it gets driven more at the track than it does on the street. The 4:11 gears, straight exhaust w/headers and no radio (or A/C) is why I'll be trailering it. :overthetop:

GreatScat1965. i was at Norwalk this past Sunday. We talked prior to the rain storm. Your car stands tall and is what a 65GS is all about. We are looking forward to having it at the gathering on the 10th. I will park my white hardtop next to your car anytime.

Thanks Vinnie. It was nice at meeting you at Norwalk and it will be my pleasure to park next to another white GS. It was a shame about the rain, I was looking forward to mixing it up with  the 442's. :wave:

A very good start!

I know a couple of people that would have liked to come, but are unable to, due to previous plans.

  Now that there is something in the works , the next one will be even more successful.

Kevin and Glenn,
Thanks for getting the ball rolling.

I have one more possible.  He's waiting to confirm whether he can clear his calendar for that weekend.  It seems that college football will be played by then.....where did summer go???

Wow, if Milton can make it, that would bring us to 11 confirmed members and cars. Of course I'm including mine, it's currently parked in two different garages maybe three buy then, but I'm including it. It can serve as training aid for a welding class; I'm sure we have an instructor in the group.
Vinnie, I'll make sure we ordered enough t shirts.
