First of all, I'd like to invite all of you who gave me your addresses and expressed interest in the HR.com gathering for summer 2005 to check your emails, I've sent an update. This post is in reference to that, and to spur any new interest in the Columbus, Ohio gathering. Please only vote if you're SERIOUSLY interested in coming, and if you do vote and I don't have your email, PM me so i can put you on the mailing list (and forward you the two previous mailings).
Helrazr and I are heading up the organization of this. I think weimer is interested in helping out too, but I get the impression that he's super busy (hopefully working on the truck so he can show it off to us...). In any event, this is EVERYBODY'S event, so I want everybody who's interested in spending time there to have an equal say.
We'll have two options for dates and events. First is JULY 2005, 8th, 9th and 10th. As many of you know this is the "Goodguys" show. The reason its so appealing to me is that it has all the key aspects of what I thought would be cool for a gathering. It has a swap meet (which I assume will be a quality meet, with quality parts and people to give some of you guys yet another excuse to come out), a car show, again, these will more than likely be good QUALITY rides. And lastly it has open drags from what I understand. This may be cool for some but not cool for others, I don't know how you all feel about it. Hotels are going to be hard to get, and rooms are going to have to be reserved WAY in advance. Some of you guys might not even be into the whole big show thing, and just want to come to hang out as a group. Plus these dates fall right after the 4th holiday, and I dont' know how many are already traveling that weekend.
Of course the other option is to keep the plan of doing the gathering in the last two weekends in june (one or the other) and just do our own thing. Bristol speedway is closeby and from what I understand, always an option. If this option is chosen I'll still have a good compiled list of activities.
Thanks for the interest so far, friends and family are always welcome.
One thing I do want to mention is that this event is NOT officially affiliated with HR.com proper (for obvious reasons). So please bear that in mind when making reservations and referring to this meeting-
