How about June 7, 8, 9 at Watkins Glenn with SAAC37?
I'll be there?

Sorry Doug, no one from up here will be going down on those dates because of the Canadian Gran-Prix

There aren't that many dates left in the spring?

There really are only the eight weekends in May and June. Many of which are already spoken for.

I think you are going to have to pick a date and see if it works for enough people?

If you ask 10 people, you will get someone who can't make it because of a wedding, graduation, etc.

May can be cool and rainy here.

I see the best dates as May 19 & 20 but you may not get too much interest because people may have difficulty getting time off because Memorial Day weekend is the next one.

Ditto to the weekend following it.

If you have your heart set on Saratoga I can do some leg work to find out what shows and events are going on. I live just down the road from there. There is a massive hidden car enthusiasts base here.

I'm in ... set the date ... Saratoga Museam will host a car event ..but they are booked up very quick. Monticello is about 1.5 hours south.

Doug ... we finally get to see this so called Pantera your hiding? LOL

Ron

Maybe yes...maybe no? So many things need to fall into place. For one thing I can't violate my parole again. Another is I can't get caught doing 150 again and tell the cop I was trying to outrun the asteroid and tell him he is a goofy looking bastard?

They need to pick a date first though. I need to know. There could be a shotgun wedding coming up?

I'm trying to be good though. I don't want my full carry permit denied again?

I am in contact with Richard Selikoff of the Saratoga Auto Museum and he will be hosting his by-annnual car exibition on the week end of Mothers Day so that is the 19th and 20th of May. Mother's day being an off limits for some of us, I would suggest the Saturday May 19th date. The Gates open at 7:30 am, We will have a reserved section if we can confirm 10 cars minimum, with a prize in our category.
More info to follow and please mark your agendas for the 19th of May.
Thanks MX144, I will be needing your help, I'll be sending you a PM (private message) shortly.

I am mistaking, Mother's Day is the 13th of May sorry. So we do have both the 19th and 20th available.

Doug,
So with all the stars aligned and you packing your 44 mag. we could have a shoot out right in the middle of the town ... that would be a crowd pleaser.

Ron

Which stars are you talking about aligning? TV, Movies, Adult Video? There are a few adult stars I'd like to align?
I'm not allowed to drive with my Glock. I tend to shoot at the pigeons for crapping on my car. The NYS Police have already warned me about that.
I didn't get an invitation? I don't think they want me there?

Definitely Ron

Thank for send me the info. Looking foward to meeting every one.

Just booked my room. They said four other people have booked rooms so far

Four is not a comforting thought unless the majority are just making it a day trip?

I know there are several of us with vehicles who live within 2 hours of Saratoga and I know they are making a day trip of it. I live 20 minutes away and if things work out I'll picking up my first Pantera today.

I know there will be a bunch of people coming to support us so we should have a nice showing.

This is the first time we've done this as a group but from what I've heard from the others who have attending, this is a nice venue.

I know I'm excited to meet everyone. I know some people have conflicting schedules and can't make it but I've made arrangements to meet up with them, hang out, eat lunch and make a weekend trip of it.

There are a few people I've spoken to that haven't had their car out in years. I know some were excited to get them out while others pondered whether it was better to let to sell them so others could enjoy them.

Either way I know the people I'm bringing are all fired up at the opportunity to re-live something of a childhood dream.

I was a definite maybe, but I just checked the dates and my daughter is making her First Communion on May 20th, so I'm a definite 'no'. Hopefully I can make the next event!

Michael

So most people are going just for one day (May 20)? OR Driving there on May 19? It's over a 5hr drive for me and don't know if I want to drive 5hrs to be there for 3 or 4 and then come home.

Hope IT's going to be a good show .I will driving up Friday and will be staying over Saturday night as well. looks like five or six of my friends will be going too.One new pantera friend from long Island.

I'm staying with family in Valley Falls, about 30 minutes away from the show.

Friend Tajon got his family a room in Saratoga.

That makes two more attending.

I have reserved at the hotel (witch was sent with your invite) for 2 nights. We have so far 23 owners who said yes that are coming with their cars,(3 of them are for sale), 2 owners that are coming without their cars, 3 potential buyers. There are 15 maybes with their cars.

Larry is correct. Staying at the Saratoga Hampton Inn and Suites Friday night. I may have to leave kind of early on Saturday if I have to work on Sunday morning.

Can't wait to meet you guys. This is going to be one of the biggest gatherings of Panteras on the east coast I would bet.

Still up in the air as I will be having surgery on my right shoulder on 4/23/12. Would like to at least come down for saturday with the cat if I can shift. I too am considering selling 2539.
I live about one mile away from the intersection of the NYS thruway and interstate Rt. 81 and will be home on Friday if anyone would like to stop by on their way down for a breather/drink or if they have any problems with thier cat.

WOW, I didn't know so many people where coming looking foward see every body too.
'

ill tow mine there
please bring some extra parts to sell me

25 confirmed and 15 undecided, come on guys, let's give our hosts at the Saratoga Museum a headache trying to find us a space that big for us to be all in one place.

It's time for the maybes to change to YES and attend the show. Thanks
