Thanks to Dave and Frank we are on top of this endeavor. Here's what's going on to date:

Ted Struse, owner of 'Project Six Pack' is interested in possibly bringing his car to the Re-Union from Colorado. Frank, who is also trailering his car to the Re-Union, is seeing if there's a viable way to tow both without incurring too much added expense. Anyone who thinks they can assist Frank in anyway possible, whether it's in the actual work involved with the trip, or monetarily to offset expenses, please contact Frank (dstryr) to compare ideas. If no one surfaces, we as a 'club' should examine methods to funnel raised funds (from our members or sponsors) into Frank's trailering efforts.

Along with 'Project Six Pack' Mike (A12) has had conversations with Tom Hoover who has expresseed interest in attending. We are also going to contact Ronnie Sox who normally attends York US 30 Re-Union this weekend which is but a scant 40 miles away. We're hoping he can commute from York to Carlisle and spend afew hours with us. Of course his health is a major concern in all of this. Other attractions include John Wehrly who Mike is also tracking down.

Lon (PLATINUM6BBL) has approached the folks from MCG as well as I believe Mopar Muscle (? sorry Lon I can't recall who else you've been in contact with). Anyway, that is another area of intererst we need to exploit to our advantage. Getting a committment from a specific magazine to act as our 'sponsor'...or from a few to increase coverage is key to making this be the best that it can be. We should consider taking ads out in some 'old school' magazines like Hemmings etc to reach as many owners as posible. We forget that we are really just a fraction of the A12 world.

We should also have some fellas working on T shirts, hats and other keepsake items for those who attend. Miles (Real6BBL) has expressed interest in working on creative ideas for these items. I'd like to help him with this also (one idea is attached which includes a possible T shirt). We'd appreciate all your ideas and clever sayings to consider in our efforts. Also we we're thinking of hats (bee and runner specific), T shirts, cling signs -which are non sticky- for all true A12 windshilds (the size of bumper stickers), and/or anything else which you guys think might be cool.

We also should consider having a video made to record the Re-Union and interview both our guest arttractions and some owners. We don't yet have anyone interested in seeing how to best pull this off. It'd be nice if someone here has some video background or a connection to a pro who could pull it off cheap. If not we'll probably have to do it ourselves and hope for the best. If this is what happens there are professional editors in almost any phone book which we could take the raw tape to for completion.

We also need, or might benefit from someone assisting Frank in his dealings with Carlisle. He has done a great job working this along with Lisa Leatherly to date, but might appreciate sharing the burden with one or two of us.

So, here's where we are....

We are looking to assemble 'teams' of guys to help with the above areas of need. If there are any other topics of need which you guys want to organize for the Re-Union, table them now. Volunteers are needed to make this as good as it can be. At the same time, we don't want to overburden any one individual, or team, with too much work-- so the more volunteers the better.

Those of you who are planning to attend please consider what you might like to help with. Those who are not able to attend, perhaps you'd like to help in one of the teams efforts anyway.

Money will be an issue in this. It takes money to tow cars (Project Six Pack), print shirts, hats, banners etc. Once teams are formed they should estimate their budget (if any) and pursue funding through sponsor(s) or individuals. It might be wise to form a team specifically for raising money. Not that we need large amounts to make this all work, but we will need some to make it as good as it can be.

This can be a really good memory for all A12 owners. Imagine a video of 40-50 A12s, with members faces and cars, Sox talking about the June 69 Super Stock magazine run (Cecil County), Hoover talking about the design and build history-- both of them signing cars (!), Project Six Pack owner Struse talking about his 6 pack efforts on the track, and all the other Re-Union moments captured in a professionally done video. Those who can't make it might appreciate this video more than those who can.

Now's the time to get involved. We need everyone to make this as good as it can be. Pick a team to join and help!

Coop
