Hey Guys, if you are planning to attend this event May 29th is the deadline for the early entry and the discount but you have to go to the website and print the entry form off then send it with your check in the mail they won't let you pay them over the phone so give yourself plenty of time to do this.

Martin, just finished up on my hotel accommodations for myself & son & sent out the registration for the show & shine today.
Should be rolling in town sometime the 18th with 62 on the trailer. It's a 7 hr trip from Akron. We're staying at the Sync hotel, so until then let's see if we can coordinate something for a gathering of minds. This will be a first time at Bowling Green, so need some help as far to when and where it's best to meet up.

I got my reunion tickets in today's mail. Only eight more weeks!!!!! We're still not sure if I'll bring the car not- I'd sure like to. I was wondering just what your plans were? Are you going to be in the show-n-shine that weekend? Also we need to figure how to get everyone together, somewhere! Another question, is there a 409 residing between the fenders yet. I've been waiting for some news, but nothing yet!!!'!!!! Mike

Hey Guys been on call, this is my last night, but I am very excited about this event, If we can find out when every one is coming in then we can get something in stone, I am taking off work Thursday, and Friday, so I will be around all day, I would love to have a get together Thursday night, if I know who is planning on being here Thursday I can plan something for all of us, Friday we will have a couple of canopies set up at the track so we can hang out together out of the sun with a couple of grills going, bring a chair we will be right on the track so we won't miss anything, Mike Bell was with us last year so he knows exactly where we will be, Friday night after the races, we have a car show where they are expecting us, there will be a band, prizes, a grill will be going and we will have our own section for our cars, then sat, we go back to the track and hang out again, basically just like Friday same canopies, grill coolers, bring a chair. Mike its been raining here so the engine isn't in yet but we were suppose to put it in last week, gonna try next week, waiting for an empty space at my guys shop to get the job done, it WILL be in there before the HOT ROD REUNION. Dave glad to hear you are coming, Beautiful car can't wait to meet you.

Hey Mike that reminds me, talked to Scott they are coming, and also Scott I talked to the hot rod reunion guys and they said HOT ROD ELIMINATOR would be the class you would want to run in, but there may be another class they are talking about and you can change when you get there, either way you can have time trials Thursday, and then decide what class you want to run in. Myself I'm just going to watch and hang out with the guys, but I will have my car

My buddy James and I are hoping to join in on the fun.
We're starting back on the '62 BA 409 car and hope to be ready to tow her out to Kentucky and do some testing.
We've got a list of things we'd like accomplish, but it's feasible.
James removed the front bumper, and we're doing some floor pan strengthening before we take her out again.
Gonna go with the existing rear end, but will probably take a spare :).

Here's a shot of her sitting outside at James' place:

That's James' Charger that he's been racing for a few years. I've converted him to a "409 fan" over the years :).

Wish us good luck in getting ready!
