Spring Extravaganza Annual 65Gran Sport Division meeting May 5, 2018

[GreatScat1965]

Loren,

To help with the head count, unfortunately I will not be in attendance.    I'm planning to be as active as I can this season but the 11+ hour drive is just a little too long for me. I hope everyone in attendance has a wonderful time and yes please take and post lots of photos.

Regrets,
Jerry

Normally we are able to park our cars on the grass in the land next to the shop.  Currently that area is covered with two feet of snow (no kidding).  Before this snow hit it was very wet and soft and this snow storm is of no help.   We need some dry weather or we might be parking on the road.  No matter what, the party is going forward but this year we might do a mud run or a tractor pull in my yard (kidding).

Jerry,

  Thank you for your reply.  I realize that the long drive makes it difficult, sorry you'll not be able to attend.  Maybe the Ohio event in the fall work out.

 Our drive isn't as far, we have about an 8.5  - 9 hour drive for getting back to the Twin Cities.  Still have family there so it makes a difference and this most likely will be one of the few car events I will be able to attend this year.

Rob,

Please add two more to the attendance list.  My friend Joel and I will be there also. 

Looking forward to seeing a bunch of old (and new?) friends!

Keith Anderson and I plan on coming over Saturday after finishing up the Extravaganza setup at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds.

This year will be a little different for set up because the fairgrounds will have a different car group putting on a car show on Saturday and not Sunday.

We heard the entry fee for this new Saturday show is something like $50 with contests like burn outs and such.

It will be interesting to see how they do.

Milton,

Is that $50 each for all attendees?  Or entry fee for "exhibitors"?

Will get you all the information.

I don't know anything about this group but it looks like a loud fast moving participation / spectator event.

I don't know if they have ever been at the fair grounds before but I know they have never been on the same weekend as us.

Rob, I have actually thought about staying on the road that weekend and trying for a load somewhere close by. Then I checked Google Maps to see if there's a way to back my tractor trailer down your street!  It does look possible. 

Keeping my options open.

Rob,

Yes, I plan to be there, however I will not have my GS. I need my pickup truck to haul materials and tools for another construction project at Mom's house earlier in the week. Always a good time with old and new friends.

Thanks for hosting,
John
