Chuck,

If you could get the convert to the first 65 GS Division meeting, well, that would really be something.

Mark,

Not in a position to commit at present, but I'll see what I can do.

Tom, looking forward to seeing you there. Hope to have your former car at the show. See you at the gathering.

Dan

Dan, that would be great as I would love to see what you've done with it. :thumbsup:

As Dan also says, it's the people who make it fun, having the cars there is a bonus. Thoroughly enjoyed my trip down in 2014, even though the fan clutch seized up solid 40 miles from Rob's shop.

Found a good used one the next day in just five minutes in the swap meet area. Then found a spare five minutes after that. While people were walking around admiring the cars, I replaced the bad one right in the show area with some help from the 65 guys. :occasion14:  :thumbsup:

Still can't believe my good fortune.  :cheers2:

Sigh, only 1185miles from me.....
Suppose I could catch a flight out there. I need a vacation....work has been real consuming lately.

Slightly off topic, but is anyone considering the BCA Nats in Allentown, Pa next  July?..... it's near me, about an hour away...

Walt,

 I'm still on the fence about this years Nationals. Time isn't the issue now, just the $$$ side of that coin.
It's something like 1300 miles from here, but it will be a fantastic event.  There is already more then 3 years of planning gone into this event.

If you are serious about a flight to MN,  I would think someone would make an effort to make sure you found your way to the gathering.
It would be great to meet you in person and I know others here feel the same.

Walt,

To add to Loren's comments, some of the regular travelers to this event stay near MSP airport.
I am about a 5 minute drive to the airport, and about a 15 minute drive to the fairgrounds where
the show is. It would great to have you here.

To The Top.

Milton, the Gopher State website does not have current registration forms.
Do you know when these may be available?
Thanks!

Mark

The 2016 Extravaganza will be held May 1, 2016, as always the first Sunday in May, at the Minnesota State Fair Grounds in St Paul.

I think the applications will go public tomorrow Saturday Feb 13th at the club show meeting.

I will keep you all posted.
