We decided to invade Hershey at both the Swap meet and the AutoX on Sunday. This is an event that has been going on now for 3 decades and its time we invaded. The simple plan is as follows. The Event is on April 25th... Most people arrive on friday night. I drive down iron butt and get there at 6:30 am So, We will be getting at least 4 spaces to allow us to hang out and have a tent etc. We will get a single cheap hotel with a bar...Dr Evil is on that. I have contacted the Central Region PCA group to see if they will allow the following. A special section for 914 only parking in the corral/show area. We will have several awards in that area. A special class for our 914 community (Club and World) with the ability to give out awards....if not we can get the sheets at the end of the autox and figure that out ourselves... We will have awards one way or another. Special allowances for V8 cars, typically this region does not allow them...so I am told. We have a planning forum on the other site so if one of you guyz is attached to the Central region PCA...give me an email or PM to see if we can get a few things done. The goal is 40 cars. We get 20 at Foleys event and 20 at the ECC....so we should be at 40 if we all commit. More logistical details will follow as things firm up and I hear info from the Central Region PCA. Rich

This is a dev version only, in jpg format. The scalable .ai file I don't think can be seen on the board. Let me know what you think. The font was just the first one I could find that looked decent. If we make a banner, I could put it in a horizontal layout. Though, I am not sure what Hershey park might say if we have a banner with "Hershey" on it. Maybe just MidEngine Invasion. Zach Can't get the attachment to load. Hold on a tic...

Maybe just MidEngine Invasion. They might own the rights to the name 'HersheyPark' and the candy brand, but as a city name, it's fair game. I figure as long as we're open to Boxsters and Caymans it's a great name...
