Shawnee Peak

Many of you already know about the Shawnee Peak show on June 7th (Bridgton, ME). But you may not be aware that the Pleasant Mt Chapter of MOAL (they are putting on the show) are also hosting a 2 hour scenic cruise the evening before, on June 6th. They will leave the ski area @ 5pm sharp, so be there or be square.

I have also added a list of their classes, linked from there post on the Events page at www.hotkarz.com/me-events.html. They have 25 classes this year. But it may be a tough choice, because many of their classes overlap, making it difficult to know how to register. For example, if you have a custom 1957 Chevy, you will have to choose between Best of '50's, Customs/Modifieds, or '55-'57 Chevys. Just so ya know...

In any case, judging from the info they have provided, it looks like they may have a better handle on things this year, so weather permitting, we'll be there.

Meanwhile, I have heard from the new co-chair for the Sanford Elks Car Show. Judging from his letter, there appears to be a real effort to improve this year. He even requested a copy of the Car Show book. I will post their info as soon as they have it available. I really do not know if there is to be an effort to make any substantial changes, but I sincerely hope they consider it. And y'all may want to give them another shot. I do not think I will attend, however, in spite of Adam's gracious invitation, as it is unlikely that I would encounter a friendly welcome from some of the members. Maybe next year.

On that same note, I also received a kind invitation to Belgrade this year, and if weather permits, I will likely attend, since the person who invited me was the same person who strongly disagreed with my posts and your letters last year. He has assured me that they are working hard to make changes. This could be interesting, to say the least :o)

And John, of Bayley's Campground in Scarborough has been communicating with me, and it sounds like this year they want to expand their show. Normally, they attract about 60 cars, which was pretty much their limit, and offered 6 trophies. This year they are opening more parking for more vehicles, and plan to offer many more classes and trophies. We had a really wonderful time at their show last year, and wouldn't miss it.

Well, it's late...
