    Well here we are. I talked with the owner of the airport yesterday and we are on the schedule for Sunday May 21st... Jalopy Showdown drag racing!! Saturday the 20th will be the regular fun and monkey business at the Latimore Fairgrounds, then on to the Gettysburg Airport Sunday, about 15-20 min. away. The drag racing will be called "Show and Tell" or something of the sort by his request. We will have a special area for ALL our cars seperate from the spectator parking. If you want to run on Sunday YOUR CAR MUST HAVE MADE IT ONTO THE INFIELD THE DAY BEFORE at Latimore. This will keep things real old timey looking and keep out the tuner/pro street/shiney other show car element. We will give out paper windshied stickers to infield cars to ID them for racing. It will be $10 a car load to get in, or $25 (total)for 3 tickets to run...you keep winning, you keep running past the three. Probably start around noon on Sunday. Anyone is welcome to show up and watch at $10 a car. More details as we dream them up. I'm working on some surprises for Saturday too. I'm pretty much asking this guy to run Sunday like he always runs his deal. I'm not making any money off Sunday and Saturday is still my charity deal. If Sunday would flop and only 20 or 30 people show up, he may let anyone run to make up for it, so I hope everyone hangs for the extra day. Thanks to everyone for the support and thanks to Ryan and the HAMB for helping to make the show better than I ever thought it could be!

    Thanks for all you do Larry.

    Camping is no problem on the grounds. It is a little, ahh, rustic. As long as nobody raises hell late at night and pisses off the neighbors directly across the street (or me), camping will always be free. It is real easy, dont be a stupid*** and the show will never have any problems. Well, O.K. we have plenty of stupid***es there already. Dont be a loud, stupid*** late at night!

    When the museum is open, you can pee in air conditioned comfort, other wise it is the spot-o-pot. No real electric hook ups or anything like that.

    free camping sounds good.....as long as most of the guys are straight...Petejoe has to stay in his own tent!! no more late night visits, buddy!!! :)

    and for the dude formerly known as kustomkoupe (kind of like prince changing his name), now known as suresomething. hahaha I think we may have our own version of pinks.......he'd better get that flatty warmed up when I bring out the nitro carbs! :)
