2007 Convention or get together

Looking for guidance for a convention date or get together date for 2007. The NHRR will be in Columbus, Ohio next year on Father's day weekend. Generally, the week before that is Good Guys at Indy. Some guys like to run both of those. Some don't care. So, the question is, where and when do we want to have our get together next year?

I can tell you this. Clay City has asked if we would come back. I have had some conversation with the editor of Super Chevy magazine. No promise, but they might cover what ever we do in the magazine. I'm not proposing any time or place. I will say that Clay City treated us VERY well this past June. They paid out way more than they took in. And never complained. I think everyone there was pleased. And, the room rates were GREAT at the motel.

OK, it's open to you all. What and when and Where.

I really liked Clay City and would be happy to go back there. An early date might be less likely to conflict with some of the racers schedules.:deal I'm also going to try to get to The NHRA Hotrod reunion at Columbus OH. I'd expect to see quite a few 348/409 guys there as well.:beerbang

Fred, I loved Clay City, but what ever the site is , will be fine for us. I suggest April thru November. ( Did that help) ? :roll Seriously, name a date and we will be there. Thanks again for the effort, I know it can be time consuming.

I also put my vote in for a more westerly convention site. Also for a time of year with better weather. Just my 2 cents worth.

Fred, First we would like to say thanks again for taking the lead on the get together. Next, no childern at home, no graduations, both cars can make the trip and we are ready to go. Since Ronnie found Clay City last year and we are now neighbors we'll just follow him! Clay City was great last year and would be fine with us, but anywhere would be great with this group!

tim. That's 2 great looking cars! I have been hoping to put together a tubed 64. The blwer would be great. What did you use for the intake? How much do both cars weigh? My 64 is all steel, but tube chassis. Bob
