Peter, I'm not sure what you mean about being part of the Meets, but
It's critical to support the Marque Clubs, if only by showing up to admire their cars. The next time there's an AACA or Marque National or Concours nearby, I echo your encouragement of support for their efforts.

!00 year meets
Tom, These 100 year meets do not happen very often, like every 100 years so we must catch them when we can. Good thing there is more than one car company. But I want to be there when they come. Also I would like more models. Of course, most people do not want models but some people do like to get a model of their car so if they sell it they have a small sample to keep. Also we should have a list of all models in all scales so when a big meet comes up we can be prepared.

Yes Peter, agreed, you're right about these 100-year Meets.

In 2011 (only 8 months from now gang) it will be 100 years since the first Indy 500! I wonder what's being planned in Speedway, Indiana? The movie "500" is also supposed to premiere, reportedly with actual vehicles made to replicate the field, no CGI.
Karl - any news?

100th Anniversary of Indy 500...
Anyone recognize this driver?
more pictures - Besides this, no news of any special events ... yet!
Track opened in 1909, so the celibration really started in 2009, with balloon races, etc... Slower ticket sales and the down economy have really curtailed the events, I think...

The guy in the picture is 3 time Indy 500 winner Bobby Unser.
