There definitely is, but not yet...Hold tight for a week or so, and we should have a much clearer view of the firmed up details of this event.

I do want to announce that because we are working very closely with the host Lexus dealer to secure a proper location for the Car Show, as well as negotiating the finals with the track that will host the Drag event, and the negotiations with the major magazine to cover the event, it has been determined that the original May dates will not work. So, I want to let you all know that we have decided to push the date out so that the necessary planning and execution of this event is successful, and we all have fun when we get together. I know several of you are making your plans, and I want you to have sufficient time to make the adjustments. Please understand that this was a difficult decision to make, but we felt it was unfair to all of you to come so far for this Meet, to only find it did not get the attention to detail it needs to really be successful. So, please accept our apologies for pushing the date. Keep in mind that what we have in the works will certaily be worth the wait. We will update you as soon as we finalize the dates, and we will be committed to the new date.

Our Best Regards,

Ryan

Guy’s, this will be better in the long run. The important thing Ryan said is “we are working very closely with the host Lexus dealer to secure a proper location for the Car Show, as well as negotiating the finals with the track that will host the Drag event, and the negotiations with the major magazine to cover the event”
This gives us an opportunity for having a huge successful event. With the proper people/businesses backing us we can really make this great. I would also like to point out the fact that we are working with a Lexus dealer should certainly concrete the fact that this thing is very real!, It will be worth the wait, I don’t think most of you even realize how much work and planning has been going on behind the scenes to make this happen. Just my 2 cents

Noted. I have updated the front page to TBD on the dates. We expect sometime in September 2008, and will inform you once confirmed.

Thanks,
