Here's a reminder about this weekend! See the parking and weather
comment at the end. And please RSVP if you are coming.
August 23: The Race of the Century at the Collings Foundation in Stow,
MA. The entire collection of cars and aircraft housed at the site will
be on display. Cars and aircraft from their collection, and perhaps some
real horsepower, will participate in a series of "races" to demonstrate
the various stages of the advancement of transportation technology.

It's probably best to get there around lunch time. We'll try to get
together for lunch around noon. They had food there last year, not so
great, so you might want to bring a picnic lunch. I'll contact them and
see if they will let us park along the tree line again.
The handful of us who went last year had a great time, so plan on
joining us. Please RSVP to me if you are planning to go.
Added Notes:
Parking: I've been in touch with the staff, and they will let up park
together. There will be other clubs present, so the first guy there
should claim us some space, along the tree line if possible. I'll be
heading up after the F1 race is done, getting there maybe 11 ish.
Weather: As of wednesday evening they are predicting some rain early on
Sunday from the passing hurricane. Could be more, could be less. Now,
its just my opinion, but most of what we'd be doing is outside, and rain
would certainly curtail the flying. They have another show in the fall,
so maybe we could do that.
I'll be away from email thursday PM through later Saturday, so if the
weather really looks horrid, I'll officially cancel on Saturday evening.
