2005 Meets

[thebear54]

Did anyone else hear about the upcoming "Lake Placid Festival of Cars" show scheduled for May 20-22,2005???
This is a "by invitation only" show for 175 cars. Scheduled to be inside at the old Olympic Center on Main Street in Lake Placid,NY. It should bring out the cream of the crop in all classes. I know my club (VORC) has already filed to put a VX in the show, hopefully it will be approved for display...we'll see what happens! Should know by the end of January.

Count me in too. I don't have any mods to my Proton but she's a looker.

Avoid the slots and go for the Texas Hold'em tables. That's my game!!!

So far there are three shows listed in the area which I will probably attend:
1. Shelburne,VT 6/3-6/5
2. Rutland,VT 7/9-7/10 (for sure on this one)
3. Lake Placid,NY 5/20-5/22 (still waiting on invitation confirmation)
I'll keep everybody posted on any changes or additions so we can all meet.

I am putting together a list of Car Shows for the Summer of 2005 as we speak. Waiting to hear back on some of them concerning class limitations and/or age cut-offs.
I know we just had a major snow dump here in New England...but think "warm thoughts".
I would love to have some VX company at some of these shows and really freak out the public with our cars. So far I have 11 potential shows to go to between May and September (Not counting the "Mohegan Sun Run" in February...I'll be there!) in NY, CT, MA, NH and VT.
I'll keep everyone posted onthe progress of the list.

Ok here is the poop on the first show of the season...I know it's early and the snow(BRRR) is still on the ground but.
I have been in contact with the Saratoga Automobile Museum in Saratoga,NY
They are having a spring car show on Saturday MAY 14th at the Saratoga Springs State Park.
They have promised to add a special class(w/trophies) just for the VX cars that show up if we can get a bunch of us together. Dash Plaques and Goodie bags will be given out and registration is $10.00 before May 1st.
Let me know how many of you would be willing to go to this one.
