What do you plan on taking? I'll be taking my '70 Formula and my brother-in-law his '71 Formula.

I hope to be taking my '64 GTO. If I'm still having issues with it then I will bring the '64 Tempest (racecar).

A buddy of mine went a few years ago and said it's a very nice place...and they had a great time.

Might drag my heap up even though it won't be finished...interior and top won't be finished, along with a lot of other loose ends, but we'll see. I had hoped to have it done in time, but time slipped away.
I was there in '08 with my '64 Conv in primer and had a blast. Didn't want to bring the same primered car again (leaving it alone until the '67 Conv and the '37 Coupe are done), and wasn't sure if my '67 would be close enough to go, but it may be. Sent a message to Brian Massey of the host club to see if it's too late or not. I would expect Wheelspin (Les Idan) to make it again and of course Big Dave and Jim Wangers. They were all there in '08 |

The '67 hasn't been on the road since '02 The '64 is looking different nowadays too...took off the Wenzler Tunnel Ram and put the GTO hood on. |

I saw '67 at your house a couple of years ago. Hopefully you have it ready for the show.

One of my guys has been working on it when it's slow with customer cars. Back bumper, windshield, and dynamat so far this week. We've been a little slow. Just coming off of 3 months of being buried. John Conway is working on seats, etc at his shop a couple blocks away.
Couldn't remember if it was there at that time. I usually have a car or 2 here at the shop all the time so there must have been one or 2 you didn't see lol |

There is a campground, not sure the details. BUT, it is on the edge of Yosemite, so surely there are tons of campgrounds close by. People take amazing pics of their cars while in the area as well.

Wife and I were there in 2008 and had a great time, and are signed up again. Looks like the train ride down the hill has taken the place of the picnic and car cruise around the lake? Still thinking about the train ride, but it's at 1:30, and if anyone in our caravan has car trouble we might arrive late - sort of a $38 per person gamble. Definitely going on the boat ride on Friday.

I will absolutely be at the Western Regional as will be Wangers. I love Bass Lake. I spent tons of time there during my youth as my great grandparents retired to a nice cabin there.
