EFV-8C/A 2014 EASTERN NATIONAL MEET Early Registration

[JM 35 Sedan]

Just about 3 months to go before the Early Ford V-8 Club's Eastern National Meet in Gettysburg, PA,
June 23rd - 26th. My previous post above gave links to the to meet information and registration forms. This will be a great meet with plenty of fun activities, and plenty of nice early Fords to see on the show field. We will also have a display class for those who would like to bring their modified Fords. Requirements are that the body must be Ford but we don't care what type of engine they are powered by. Don't delay.....get registered today! I believe early registration ends April 15th, 2014.

We now have 184 registrations with over 350 attending. some are bringing more than 1 vehicle, so there will be a lot to look at.

I always look forward in seeing you at the National Meets. I have not done much in the garage do to the furnace doesn't work? Maybe today I will try to fix it. I did get a Back Yard Buddy a lift but it still in the Car Trailer. I guess old age is showing up. Did get another old car and will bring it home today. Hope my Fords understand. Yes it a off brand. It snowed last night here. Just a dusting but still snow. I am bringing the 50 this year to the meet. Haven't touch it since last year. Boy am I getting old.

If you are on the DC tour, you will go past the White House.

Getting close ladies and gentleman.... don't forget to get registered and make your hotel reservations. This is going to be a good one in a great location!!

Hi All, I drove past the host hotel today passing through Gettysburg.

If you can't find something interesting in this town something is wrong.

Bttt...
Getting close now, only about a month away, but still time to get registered. Maybe Norman Heathcote can fill us in on the details of how many have registered and how many cars will be there for this meet.

[Zimmco]

As of today, we have 252 registrations, totaling 494 people and 199 cars. Registration closes on June 15th, so there's plenty of time left to get involved! We've already exceeded all expectations.

Some of the RG 36 members had a meeting at the host hotel in Gettysburg yesterday. Jeff (Very Tangled) and I also met there to make a dry run of our planned route for the Museum tour. I was personally very impressed with the hotel and the areas outside that hotel that will be used for our meet.
Note that on one of these pictures it shows how close the second hotel is to the host hotel. Probably less than 100 paces, so not a big deal if you have reservations in #2 instead of the host hotel.

I'm not squeamish, but this town (Gettysburg) is special after dark. Be prepared if you venture towards the battlefields near dusk.

Jeff, that sounds spooky to me, but I have heard similar stories about folks seeing battles going on there thinking they were reenactments and then finding out later there were definitely no reenactments happening that day

I am also bringing this to the top to let everyone know that today, June 15th, is the last day to register for this meet.

I am really looking forward to meeting up and chatting with all my V-8ing friends! Will hopefully be arriving there on Sunday, 6/22.

Hi Everyone, JM had a better photo of this one off my cell phone, but if any of you are in the York Springs, PA area, right off US 15, the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing is a pretty neat museum.

How often do you see a twin-engine flathead digger?

I don't know about y'all but I feel my blood pressure bumping a little in anticipation.

Although not registered I will try to get my 37 to Gettysburg one day to see some great cars. I remember the AACA meet in Gettysburg a few years back. A little over an hour from home. Zeke
