"Drive Happy"Al, that usually is covered by the Speedster group. Once they negotiate the dates and rooms they will post. Most likely we’ll be back at the Marriott in Mechanicsburg.
Looking forward to seeing you there.

As always the Speedster Owners Group is arranging a gathering starting Wednesday May 11. We’ll have a tent on the field and tables and chairs. This year the dune buggy guys are setting up an epic valve cover race track which will be on the showfield. If you want in email Andy Burger, afburger@gmail.com and he’ll send you build specs and rules. Five pounds is the weight limit. Here’s the track under construction last month: https://ibuggy.life/vcrtrack2022/
Cory & Jeni Drake put together a great cruise for Friday including great back roads, a stop at a Winery, a lunch stop in Gettysburg and ample time to check out some of Gettysburg.

I’ll be updating the restaurant list and firming up other details in the coming weeks.
Addendum: New this year is the inaugural event of the Acme Cup Valve Cover Racing Series. Details here.
I’m planning on making something for the track.
Please folks, if you haven’t yet, sign up for Carlisle Gate & Go ASAP. Deadline is end of March. As in the past, the more people we get who sign up as part of the Speedster gathering the more likely it is we’ll get a free thing.
You want a NON-JUDGED SHOWFIELD Gate & Go pass; sign up here. Remember to go to the club affiliation drop-down menu and choose “Speedster Owners.” Do this regardless of what car you plan to bring. TDs COUNT! And so do all the other cars.
I came one year in a Nissan Frontier pickup truck, such was the state of my TDr. Looks the same on the scoreboard.
Every year I’ve been a part of this group we’ve gotten a free tent from Carlisle. This year, owing to last year’s lower attendance, it costs $97.50
No problem! We got this. But free is better than $97, so if you’re thinking of coming, sign up.
Here’s the nitty gritty re the tent:
COST OF CLUB TENT
• Club tent qualifications are based on the following:
1) The total number of vehicles registered for the prior year’s event –
if your club had 25 or more vehicles registered last year, your club
is eligible for a FREE tent this year
2) The total number of vehicles registered by the Gate-N-Go deadline
of the current year’s event – if your club’s total number of vehicles
registered by the Gate-N-Go deadline is greater than the prior
year’s total and meets the number for the next larger tent size,
your club will receive the larger size FREE.
• Rental fee is $195.00 for a 20 ft. x 20 ft. club tent when your club’s
number of vehicle registrations is under 25.
SIZE OF CLUB TENT
• Club tent sizes are offered and determined by the number of vehicles
your club has pre-registered. FREE tents may be offered at the
following club vehicle registration levels:
25 vehicles = 20 ft. x 20 ft. / 50 vehicles = 20 ft. x 30 ft.
75 vehicles = 20 ft. x 40 ft. / 100 vehicles = 30 ft. x 40 ft.too much on my plate I’ll have to cancel will be at the vintage gran prix I have too many projects to get done
Sorry to hear Crash
I plan on being there this year as it’s been awhile for me. Looking forward to it.
Time is running down guys, please register at the hotel for the Carlisle show. Reservations Call and select the hotel Sales Office option 717 766 9006 and mention “Speedsters Group”
Just received Showfield credentials in today’s mail. Looks like we are just inside the entrance gate. Make an immediate right and there we are, on the right.
