It’s that time of year again! And much less time to plan than before!!!

The Spring Opener Car Show at the *** Rootbeer Drive-In in Issaquah will be held on Sunday, May 15, 2011. This is one of the largest, if not the largest all-make/model/years car show in the Northwest. Last year we had about 10 Vipers enter!

We will meet at the Krispy Kreme in Issaquah between 6:30 & 7:00 a.m. The caravan will leave for *** promptly at 7:00 a.m. Show starts at 8:00 a.m. We will need to arrive together to secure parking as a group since this event attracts more than 400 cars each year. Entry fee is about $15.00 if I recall correctly. The show lasts until 3 or 4 p.m. if you stay for the all of the awards ceremony stuff, even though they try to wrap things up around 2 p.m.

For all those not into the car show scene as well as those attending, after (and during the latter part of) the show, there will be a Bar-B-Q at my place in Sammamish – about 15 minutes up the road from ***. Hope all of you can come out!

For anyone that would like to attend, but traveling at 5 a.m. is a bit too much, the Hilton Garden Inn in Issaquah has a special car show rate of $79.00 if you mention the show.

And please don’t be shy about not having a “show car” – I plan on taking the trophy for most rock-chipped/road-rashed paint. Bring plenty of sunscreen, water and your folding chairs!

6:45 a.m. Meet Up

We are still on. I plan to be at Krispy Kreme at 6:30 a.m. in my '48 plymouth. If enough people show to give me a ride back home, I can pick up my Viper & have both cars out. (my 2nd driver plan didn't work out)

Don't forget the after-party at my house - - about 15 minutes away from ***! It won't be anything fancy, but I am scrambling to get the car ready and the house picked up a bit. Grill has a fresh tank of propane and the pool table is (mostly) lint free. No Viper required for the after-party, but if you're planning on coming out & not to the show, please let me know as I'm waiting until tomorrow to get supplies depending on participation.

Thanks,
Charley

Holy Cats & Dogs, Batman!!! I'm going to have to call this one on accounta rain. I thought the showers were going to be more like most of today. I'm just too tired & sore to get everything ready for tomorrow. We'll have to postpone this event until a later date. Sorry for the late notice.
