Too bad they are limiting to only early ones:

1973: James Blue & TBD
1974: Chris' Yellow & Dan's Silver

So, still needing both '70 and one '73. We may have to make it a 455 motor display if we don't get any RAIII's and add one more of each year for 12 cars.

Thanks, Dennis
This will be a cool event. I'd love to bring my '70, but I'm just getting started on the resto and there's zero chance of it being done in a year at the turtle pace that I restore cars...

But I'm looking forward to coming to the show to see everyone else's!

dreamn69, Cool '79 Formula, but, unfortuneately, this is for a limited pre-cat display with the baddest motors of those years. It started out as a 455HO Formula display, then evolved to all year small rear window Birds. You may want to consider a '75-'81 Formula display with Bob Ashton, but I'm not sure he invites post '74 cars...maybe he does, but I don't recall ever seeing any.

Thanks, Dennis. If, mid next-year, I think it's in a state that might be of interest to folks, I'll check in with you.

Just to clarify, this is for next year - 2017, not this year's show. I don't want you to be disappointed if you went there this year to see the Formulas only to find there aren't any!

WHAT!!!! BLASPHEMY!!!! Actually, this is the one show that is worth a day or two in the woods. The others... not so much. You should have bagged a bambi or two by MCACM anyway, so you could make it (lol).

Hey Brew...just yanking your chain a little. I can relate to the excitement and comradery that comes with the sport and around here Nov. 15 is a national holiday (opening day of firearm season) and half our office is gone in the woods playing cards, drinking and maybe some hunting if they're not too hungover. I always love to listen to the tales when they get back and the venison competition our office hunters hold...definitely some good eating!

Be safe and bag a 24" 12 pointer! Dennis

If I want deer, I'l just pull out of my garage without looking and honking the horn tomorrow morning. Those darn things are like giant, long-legged rats around here in western Jersey. Dozens of them hanging around in my yard.

I talked to Bob Ashton (MCACN Organizer) and he is totally on-board with the Formula display for 2017, so I will be keeping a list of the people that have agreed to bring their cars and updating it on the fly.

Where are my RAIII Formulas??? I suppose this could be a 455 only show, but I hope not!

This one sounds incredible. I am trying to plan one 2017 Poncho trip so TA Nats may win. If I could do two events I would be there for this one absolutely also. What a gathering. Not to dis you round port boys, but a RAIII 70 is really needed. No spoiler, 14" rims (likely) are my weird thing. Also the odd Round Ports are cool. The 14" rim, non RA 71 HO's are weird and cool.
