My wife and I will be attending the car show, and the drive (Poker Run) after the show, so please add us to the head count.

Our only question still remains as to the dinner.  Call me cheap if you like (and knowing some of you guys, I'm sure you will) but $45.00 per person with a cash bar seems a bit high for a piece of rubber chicken and a Coke.  

Can someone elaborate on what dinner will include (aside from the company of my fellow Team Shelby members, which is of course, priceless)? Will there be any special presentations, awards, swag, surprise guests, etc.?  I'm trying to justify going to the dinner, and without some added 'bang for my buck', I'm having a hard time convincing myself (and my wife) that it is worth the $100+ it will cost (Heck, I can put that cash toward my next mod).

Also, any confirmation on Shelby folks coming in from Vegas?

Thanks,

Z-man

The Triumph brewing Company is hardly a rubber chicken place - they leave that to the hotels like we stayed at for SAAC 35!

Organizing this initial Mid Atlantic Team Shelby event, we wanted the restaurant to be somewhat memorable and the menu reflected that. It seems that the prevailing opinions and pocketbooks are on par with you, so the we have decided to change the menu to individual tabs and not have a group bill.

Please go to    www.triumphbrewing.com  to prepare your bank account for dinner

We have not had any RSVPs to date from Shelby, but we will keep you posted. We will however be supporting the Carroll Shelby Foundation and have autographed swag available, with the proceeds going to a very worthwhile organization.

We look forward to seeing everyone is 2 weeks!

Hey Mike... put me down for two! At least for the poker run and dinner. Since it's only just over an hour for us to get home from New Hope we won't be spending the night. I don't know if I want to do the show or not, since I'm helping at a Dream Come True car show the next day, I may try to get some stuff done around the casa before heading down. Worse case, we'll drive her car down if it rains!

With you and Keller organizing this, it is sure to be Top Shelf, and everyone will most certainly have a good time.

Wish I could've joined so i could've driven John's FGT

Hey gator... I asked the same thing back on post 10 and 11. Hopefully we'll see ya there!

The long range forecast varies from day to day so we'll have to wait and see. it's gone from sunshine to rain to partly cloudy to partly sunny to chance of showers.... they can't predict what it's gonna do tomorrow let alone 10 days away!

Free T-shirt.....I'm in.  Officially registered this morning.  Let me say that I am very impressed in the way this event is being handled so far.  For example,  " Due to undetermined weather and the chance that your plans may change we will confirm your registration and will not be processing payment till the Thursday prior to the event."  How can you beat that?  

Looking forward to seeing everyone next weekend.

Hey, we know how to run an event...... the Lord knows, John and i have been to enough of them!

Anyone who has attended one of John's events will attest - he does things first class.

Mike,
My 13 year old decided to hang with his old man for the day. Might have another for dinner. Is that ok?

Thanks Z-man, We thought that was the right thing to do if we are asking people to pre register. Wait till you have breakfast we have a chef coming in to make breakfast to order for everyone, that's why we keep stressing to please pre register. Looking forward to see everyone on Saturday
