Vikki, first of all, I applaude you for orginizing a local area group. If you pull it off, it will very rewarding. For those of you who get involved with Vikki and that group, you are fortunate to have her as your "leader". As she stated, she is a wealth of knowledge. Vikki also brings out a great point, you DO NOT have to have a SHOW CAR to participate in these gatherings. If you can drive it there, then GO! No one is going to "critique" you about your car, because we have all been there ourselves, and you will get plenty of pointers on how to get your car to where you want it to be. Good luck to you Vikki and the rest of you "Yankee's" , we(HALF), have set the bar high, so get those 'birds together and have some fun.
