I will post a meeting place Monday or Tuesday. I think the plan will be to have everyone arrive at Volo around 9am to avoid the long lines to get the cars parked...Watch this site for further information. We have reserved parking spots assigned. The current headcount is 17 cars with 2 or 3 others that may just show up at the gate. Remember your lawn chairs, camera, hydration fluids of choice, suntan lotion, etc...I understand that there are 2 radio stations broadcasting from the event, a live band, and other new things.

I'm going to try to make it in to my chiropractor and then come to the meeting spot. Hopefully for breakfast, but at least to drive in.

Had a nice time at breakfast before heading home. Came up with this math word problem on the way...

Ques. #1: Because the car show was cancelled, Fred and Kate head south for home at "55" mph. A big black storm cloud is headed east at ~40 mph. Fred continues south, while Kate decides to take the highway going east. How long until they get wet?

I managed to get home and in the garage while it was still a gentle rain, so it only started raining in the car when I had to stop for stoplights. So very good timing overall. Hope everyone else made it home without getting soaked!

Sorry to hear about the rain, shame super sunny now.

Wags: Get some Rain-X, put both on outside and inside of windshield. Also I have put it on my sunglasses (yes and I have wipers).

I was watching the radar since 6AM this morning...From past experience I had a feeling that the event might be rescheduled due to the approaching rain. Too many nice cars to be rained on, but more important, less spectators will come out to view the cars if the weather looks bad. It all translates to $$$ I guess. Looks like the mosquitoes go hungry this weekend up there in Volo. Thanks to those who made the trip up...
