Since the picnic at the Jewell's went so well, I would like to propose that we have some sort of dedicated GT/CS and HCS event--within the Knott's show. This could be a precurser for the 40th anniv. drive/event for 2008. It would also include the 2007/2008 GT/CSs, too (and CE, SDS, SCS).
For example, why not have some sort of get together at a park or home (ranch??), with a BBQ, etc., on the Saturday before the Knott's show the next day?
It would be great of we could have a group of No. Calif. cars (and from the east, Vegas, Arizona, New Mexico,etc.) that could drive down together to L.A. on highway 5, or via the scenic route--101.
We could also get a block of rooms somewhere at an Orange County motel, too (or maybe a nice motel with a BBQ and pool?--or a catered food/social hour? Dinner?)
This could be a really big event for us--and be a very impressive sight for the Knott's folks, too, when we all drive in together...(50 cars? More?).
What do you all think? We'd need to So. Calif. owners' help, too.
