    there are tons of car clubs in New England.
    I would start by looking at the list on www.hemmings.com. They don't have a complete list but they have a pretty good one and they also host a lot of club web sites.
    They list only 38 clubs in Maine but I know that some of them are pretty active. I see some of those guys drive down to MA (where we have probably more than 200 clubs).

    What kind of club are you looking for? Street road, vintage racing, general local club, there is a little of everything.

    By the way, did you ever attend the Winterport flag start drag events? I did not make it up there but I hear that it is a good take.

    Hey..
    I raced at the Winterport event a couple of years ago, man what a good time! It waz as if you traveled back in time.
    I raced there in the 70s and forgot what a killer place it is.
    I busted up a bunch of parts the day I raced but I will be back!
    I'd put it on your "ta do" list...
