Nice! Alan Merklin is going to be collecting the banquet money this year. He’s away for the week and will get back to us on his return.

Also: when purchasing your showfield sticker please check off the Speedster Owners Group under the “Affiliated Club” dropdown. That builds out head count and gets us a free canopy and chairs at the event.

Carlisle is happening this year. We are moving back to the old hotel.

There will also be a Saturday banquet option for those who want (highly recommend). Dinner is going to be $60 a head for a pretty impressive menu in a really nice place. Details to come.

What You Need To Do:  Our event dates are Thursday May 13th – Sunday

Sorry to hear, Dan and Al. For the rest of you: Carlisle is back this year, and we’re moving the hotel back to the Mechanicsville Courtyard by Marriott. There is a thread here which will be updated tonight with the new information. There will be more later.

Slick!

Hope that solves it.

It does.

Hey Jeff.

Many thanks, Stephen.

Carlisle is scheduled for the normal weekend. The Speedster Owners Club is pondering out next move. Planning to come to a decision early March.

I’m leaning yes, but much depends on the vaccine rollout and how the mutations carry. This thing is in no way slowing down, and half a million dead is nothing to, well, sneeze at.

I always wanted to see a turbo’d one of these. Even nagged Bill to do that instead of throwing the 302 in his. Hope I can see this one up close in a few months!

BTW I did finish the tonneau (except for paint) and hung out my shingle offering to make these for others.

My sheet supplier was out of .050 thickness 5052 aluminum sheet so I’ll make the next one out of .040 (18 gauge) and see how that goes.

Non-update update: Merklin is still waiting to hear from the hotel. When we left it last year they agreed to move all reservations up as needed, but nothing is as-yet confirmed. I will let everyone know when I know.

Assuming we still have a functioning republic.

Happy 2021 to all within earshot.

Building them is only half the fun, Todd! When you’re done, remember to enjoy the ride for a while.

Gotta keep the faith. MG TDr forever!
