HEAR YE, HEAR YE

Ladies, genital men, and children of all ages.  Let it be known today that we DO have the "Rockford Speedway" track from 10:00 am to noon, on saturday the 28th of August 2004.  Cars that show up after 9:59am will not be allowed on the track (insurance purposes) There will be waivers for all to sign.  

Friends, this should be fun.  So Capri owners, come one come all.  Bring your Capri's and go in circles.  There will be a picnic afterwards.

Since this is the "Mid-America Capri Gathering" only Capri's will be allowed on the track.  Also, if this works out good, we may want to do it again, so we won't want to have any problems with too aggressive of drivers and stupid stunts.  I mean this is just plain common courtesy right?  

I hope to see at least twice as many cars and people than last year.  You have plenty of warning, get your vacation slips in tomorrow.  Come and enjoy a day of fellowship with people, and the Capri's that own them.

Bob you've outdone yourself this year.  I notice you said rent.  Will you accept donations?

[darqueyes]

I just went to the yahoo group and noticed that there seems to be alot of interest.   I'm sure I won't be the only one planning on making hotel accomodations for the big day.   I went to the  Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau and found a wonderful link.   I have booked a suite for $56.00.   Anyone planning on staying overnight I suggest you book soon.   If we get enough confirmations maybe Russ or Bob can get a discount somewhere on a block of rooms.   See you all in August.

Hey Teri, So far, I have it all taken care of financially.  The only thing people need to pay for (so far) is just the food for the picnic.  

This year we will be adding "Tech Tips" to the gathering.  These will be showing how to do simple bolt on additions to the capri.  Nothing to involved yet.  

If we can convince Cory to join us, we might be able to do more.  

Again, I look forward to seeing old friends and new.  Come on folks, take the chance, enjoy the day.

I'm now seriously considering making it to the Freeport meet.  I'm figuring out who wants to ride with me first then I will decide on whether I'll be able to make it.  Since it's at the end of the month it makes it a little tougher with work but we'll see.

Cory-
Holy c--p, what just happenened? Sorry!!  Anyway, Cory, I know how that work thing sucks!  That is the #1 reason I did not make it down to the KC meet.  They hit us with overtime 2 days before we were set to head out to you  ( Thanks, Rob, It's all Home Depots fault!!) Trust me though, You'll have the time of your life!  Where else can you take your Capri out on a real NASCAR track!!  And as an added bonus, maybe Bob will show you his Nipples!

Jeez Russ, if you could guarantee that, I'd make the trip from south florida.
I'd bring my triplets to see his triplets.

I feel so violated:)

Just a quick update on "The Gathering"


I have a friend with a hog roaster, and we will be able to use it for our picnic.  I figure we will use the racks and just use it as a grill, The good thing is we will be able to put on a couple hundred pounds of beef and pork on at the same time.  

So we will be stopping at a grocery store before hiting the picnic spot to get some food.  

We will be demonstrating how to install the white face guages, air intake, and much more.  I know to many of you, that may be a bit too simple, but if you want to do more, let Russ or I know.  

I got a good look at the track last week.  This should be fun, so show up with a full tank of gas.

The midwests largest waterpark is in Rockford also.  On your way home, you may need to cool off.

Tenitive schedule

10:00 am Aug 28 Track opens for us at the www.rockfordspeedway.com  Those who show up after 10 will not be allowed on the track (Speedway liability issues)  You will all need to sign a waiver of responsibility agreement.   We have the track till noon, or maybe a little before (races at noon)  We will head directly from the track to the grocery store and picnic spot.  

I look forward to seeing "The Regulars" and "the newbies".  

Each year we have doubled, and expect to do so again this year.  Only, because of you crazy/insane/nuttty people who enjoy this strange little car so much am I able to do this.  Thanks

Well, the fate of my appearance will be uncovered in a couple of weeks.  I'm pretty siked to travel over there but I really rather not make that 7 hour trip by myself so I'm awaiting answers.  Ohh Bob are there any camp sites around that area?  If I miss out on getting a hotel room I'm bringing a tent dammit!  

[Razzamatazzboca]

Cory you dont need a tent.
Recline your bucket seat all the way & start counting sheep.
It's really pretty comfy.

I see through the directory section that if we got everyone from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin & Minnesota, we would have at least 40 cars showing up.  could you imagine 40 Capri's in one spot?  That would make us the largest gathering IN THE WORLD......HA HA HA HA (meniacal laughter)  THE WORLD...HA-HA-HA (more meniacal laughter along with thunder and lightining)
