How Many Cars Do We Have Going ?

[GrannyLinda]

Dave Can Drive One Of Our Cars.

I'm working on a 4th car.  The minister friend of mine who has the gold 86GT said I could drive his if he gets new tires on it.  He plans to do that by next week.  The tires that are on it won't hold air more than a day. 

If someone else can drive one of Pat's cars, that will make 4.  Dave said he would be willing to drive it, if Pat agrees.  At least 5 cars would be good, 6 even better.  Ron768 is rearranging his schedule to try to make the parade.

My car just died. Clutch went out. Not going to make the parade. Too far to push.

[Fierofool]

We have Pat's 2 cars, Ron768's car and Ray's car that are solidly confirmed at the moment.

Saw TinMan browsing last night.  I'll contact him to see if we can coerce him into joining.

[f85gtron]

Looks like Pgackerman might let me drive his mint condition 88!....maybe. we still have to work out collateral holdings, liability clauses, waivers and the such......

[pgackerman]

Next of kin, collateral, hiding places if there's a scratch.

The usual stuff.

[Fierofool]

We have submitted the entry form and paid the fee.  We have two people to carry the banner.  Please, everyone who said they will be there, don't drop out. 

I have some decorations but feel free to purchase more.

[Fierofool]

OK, this is the lineup as I know it at the moment.  Correct me if I'm wrong.

Pat-2 cars
Ron Robinson' 85SE
Ron Scantlin-Paul's 88GT
Ray's 86GT
My friend's 86GT

Does everyone have their decorations? 

[GrannyLinda]

I Went And Got Our Decorations Today.

[Fierofool]

Party City also has some decorations.  Ray got some eyes at either Hobby Lobby or Michaels, I believe.  Dollar Tree says they get only 1 assortment package per store and when they are gone they get no more.

[Fierofool]

Everyone be sure to bring several gallons of water just in case we have any problems with cars overheating.  Those cars that are equipped with AC can disconnect the harness from the receiver/dryer and by pushing the AC Norm button, can run the cooling fan manually.

The current forecast, and this is for the Atlanta area, is for 50% chance of rain with temps in the mid 60's.  One tv station forecasts most of the rain will stay south of Atlanta, so maybe everyone should grab one of those cheap 50 cent disposable ponchos and bring some extra warm clothing. 

I have put in a call to the organizers to see if we've been accepted.  I haven't heard anything from them.  As soon as I know, I'll contact each participant and post the information here, too.

The check we sent them for entry was cashed on 3/10 (last Thursday) so they should have accepted our entry.

[Fierofool]

I got confirmation this morning.  We are group # 95.  We will again be staged at the First Church of The Nazarene, 312 Telfair St, Dublin, GA 31021.

When exiting I-16 at Exit 51 which is US Hwy 441, go North.  Just go straight on US 441 Business.  If coming in from the north on US 441, take the bypass until it dead ends.  Turn left on 441 North Business, which is Telfair Street. 

[Fierofool]

Pat is having to pull his yellow car from the parade due to electrical or fuel pump problems so we are down to 5 cars.  We could surely use someone to step in and fill the space.
