Hey folks I just spoke to Greta at the hotel. We are set, hospitality room is as usual, invoking “Speedster Owners Group” should get you in with us. Call the front desk at <span style=”font-weight: 400;”>(717) 766-9006</span> and if there’s trouble check in with Greta Bowring directly (717) 458-0531

Thanks all. Bill tells me the normal Hotel (Courtyard Marriott in Camp Hill) does not yet have a Speedster Special deal. Al Merklin of the Speedster group is on it, so registration and (possibly) a reduced rate should be set fairly soon.

Yes.

Thanks Gregg. We’ll see you there!

Hey folks, how many can we count on for Carlisle this year?

That sounds like a great project.

Welcome Mark and Krysta! Where are you guys on the map?

At its peak there were about 100 people at the banquet and awards ceremony, but the past few years have been much…[Read more]

Hey guys I just signed up. Remember to do it before Jan 3 to get $9 off the $45 weekend pass. Go here to do likewise if you’re into it.

The hotel is the same again this year–Courtyard by Marriott.

You can reserve your room by emailing MarriottResLink@marriott.com. If that proves glitchy you can call the hotel and tell them you’re with the…[Read more]

Thanks, Stephen.

Fingers crossed for you.

Looks like a Classic Motor Carriages or Fiberfab. It’s not a MiGi, Allison, Classic Roadsters Grand Duchess or BCW.

Looks like a nice viable car.

Congratulations. You’ve accomplished something few have attempted.

I am signed up.

Hey guys…https://www.hvccde.com/wingswheels

Good on you, Dereck.

I have a rear-engined BCW and they’re a lot of fun to tool around in, and a really good base for making a passably realistic looking TD replica.

I tried to post a detailed response; the site won’t accept it. See your email and private messages.

That’s looking great Bill.

@dennis-p point of clarification: Bill’s is a GT style wheel. “Banjo” wheels have wire spokes that look a bit like banjo strings. Like mine (above) and:

…which is also mine…

Which means I guess I have duelin’ banjos.
