So I talked to Volo Auto Museum today about holding the 11th MACG there this year.....The date would be September 1st. Registration fees would include entrance to the show, trophies, a band, entrance for 2 to the museum, and bunches of Capri Fellowship!! Registration would be $25-$30 as of right now.
We would be piggybacking our meet with a HUGE Mustang and Shelby show - I went to this show last year to feel things out, and it was great! 400+ cars, and everyone seemed genuinely interested in the Capri! We fielded a bunch of questions throughout the day, and educated lots of show goers about the Capri. There is a chance that automotive legend Carroll Shelby will be there this year, but I have yet to confirm that.
So, what are your thoughts? Comments? Remember, this is YOUR show - all feedback is welcomed!!
If you'd like to check out Volo's web site, the URL is: www.VoloCars.com (http://www.VoloCars.com)
Forgot to mention that Volo museum also has cafe style food available at the
shows, as well....Hot Dogs, burgers, italian beef, pizza, stuff like that. They
also have delicious margaritas!

The Mid-America Capri Gathering is going on 11 years strong. The second longest annual gathering of Capri's (Australia one year longer), the longest annual gathering of 91-94 Mercury Capri's, and the largest Capri gathering in the WORLD!!
I am glad that Russ is holding the gathering this year. It can be a stressful thing and I applaud him, Rick & Cheryl and Shirley for hosting OUR events these past years.
This is YOUR event. If there is something you want to do for the gathering please let Russ know, your input really really is appreciated.
I look forward to another great Capri year (as soon as I can get Matt over to work on my car)

Russ,
I think it is a great idea.... That is Labor Day weekend...so it would give everyone an extra day to travel back home....
It sounds great to Rick and I. If you need any help, please let us know.... we will be glad to assist in any way possible...
We will be waiting for more information (registration...fees due...etc.)... Talk with you later...

I have a 91 xr2 that is currently in the garage. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to sell a Kaminari tonneau cover at the meet. Also looking for one of those chrome rollbars.
I hope I can get my car working again..
Thanks

For those of you that have registered for the Mid America Capri Gathering but have not yet paid, or have not yet paid for the T-Shirt, the deadline for getting the T-shirt money to us is August 1st! If we do not have your payment by 8/01/2012, you will not be guaranteed a shirt! I need to submit our order to the printer on that date, and they take time to print, and we also need time to ensure they are correct (right, Dr. Bob??).
For those of you that have not registered yet, you can register by going to:
www.CapriGathering.com (http://www.CapriGathering.com)
You will also find information regarding the meet at that URL, as well!
Thanks!

We are looking forward to seeing everyone.
Have safe travels....
See you shortly,
