Bren, Thanks for starting this listing.

Curious to know who is thinking about going to Mid America in June. Also, what hotel/motel do you usually stay at (trying to make reservations)

Thanks,
Ray

I really like going to Funfest. However, this year I am leaning toward going to Larry's. If I am feeling good about the '64 I will probably go there and race. Unfortunately Larry's and Funfest are typically are on the same weekend.

[dubfreak1]

I'm also planning on going to Larry's. Hopefully the 67 will be ready by then.

It would be really good if these events were not at the same time
