I'll only be able to afford the one trip, so it's Norwalk for me...

Why did they name this town Port Saint Lucie, when there's no port at all here?

Yes, I'll have the 4-speed Can am there.If I get the driveline vibration problem worked out I'll drive it there, if not I'll trailer it there. It's just about miserable to drive above 65 MPH now.

And yes, it's been converted using all factory parts as though it had been done as a factory option.

I just hope it meets everyone's expectations....

I'll be going to Tulsa for sure via Memphis and Ft Smith. There will be plenty of Can ams at both events. I'd love to go to Norwalk too but will have to see how my old ragged out car does on the first trip before I try an even longer one. Living on Tulsa Time!

I saw the car at Carlisle this past summer. It exceeded my expectations. Job well done!

One of the main reasons I prefer Norwalk is that it cuts off about 4 hours of travel time each way for me. If Tulsa was going to be the only venue, then I would have gone there. Unfortunately, the budget says I can only go to one or the other.

Default I'm going to both!!!

Each local is going to be fantastic. I am going to meet new friends, build some long lasting Can Am friendships, see some neat cars and enjoy what the trip brings nomatter if 2 cars or 25 cars show up at each location. Sure the total number would be down because it is going to be at 2 locations, but I wanted to give an opportunity for every Can Am owner to attend an event versus not going at all because of the distance.
I know Jim Wangers will be at Tulsa and he is putting something together for an indoor presentation on the Can Am there.

See you in Tulsa and Norwalk!!!!
Verne

We're going to want to record that, I'd bet...with JW over 80, it's likely that in a relatively short time, he won't be around to sign sunvisors and trunks and give presentations.

Hey, Verne - any thoughts on commemorative items for the reunions?
