I talked to Hersch the other day and I too am sorry you wont' be making the trip but I understand and you are doing the right thing Bernie. You will be needed more in Australia.
Scott and Tall Guy,
To further answer your question about who is coming and what mfg are planning on showing up. Either Dean Lampe or I have spoken to Mongoose, Superformance, Backdraft, Shell Valley, B&B, and Hurricane to name a few and we are waiting to hear from a couple others. However, there will be cars from virtually all Cobra, Dragon, Cheetah and Lotus 7 manufacturers as well as the new Corvette Gran Sport and the GT-40 manufacturers.
Additionally we have commitments from Everette Morrison and Lone Star owners (streetch version). I can assure you that Factory Five, Kirkham, Superformance, B&B, Shell Valley, Mid-States, Johnnex, CMC, RCR, Roaring 40's, Viking, and others I haven't mentioned will have be well represented. Most owners are glad to talk about their cars are usually willing to give you a ride if you are considering a purchase.
