I didn't make it...I was floating around the southern bay racing
sailboats.
It is put on by the Richmond Triu*ph club at a place called the Boulders
south of Richmond proper. I heard it was pretty good and well
attended......but Berkley is better!!

A beautiful site (I am biased though..read on) and a great show.
Waynesboro in the fall is also nice and not too bad a drive from
Chesapeake if you stay off I64.

My Midget was the one with glass front fenders and the really wide wheels
under the flares. White in color.
It is on for this year as well. Details will be announced as the time
gets nearer.
The show is the third weekend in september due to NASCAR moving their
race back a weekend (NO HOTELS DURING A NASCAR RACE ARE AVAILABLE!).
I will be posting to the list...but if you want direct E-mail or
specifics E-mail me direct and I'll let you know what I know.

Come on up....Saturday will be event filled with a driving
tour/rally.....Which I am in charge of planning..This is my first one,
but I have lots of help from the club members who did this in the past.
Party Saturday Night.
Show Sunday.
