British V8 2016

danmas · October 08, 2013, 02:06:09 PM

It's a bit early, but not too early to start planning. Jim Watson and I are thinking about organizing a gathering back here in Townsend and the Smokey Mountains if there is enough interest. Any one interested? Let us know, please.

Jim Stabe · October 08, 2013, 02:28:54 PM

Where is 2015 going to be?

Scott Costanzo · October 08, 2013, 03:00:11 PM

Yes, very interested. I haven't experienced Townsend at all yet and am very anxious to.

Best of my memory indicates the 2014 is handled by Larry Barnes in Colorado Springs, then, 2015 is being handled by "The Three Stooges" at Indy. This leaves Dan & Jim doing Townsend in 2016? Someone will correct me if I am in error.

danmas · October 08, 2013, 04:23:02 PM

You got it right, Kelly.

Always happy to go to Townsend, Dan...count me in with vigor!

ex-tyke · October 08, 2013, 04:56:56 PM

Yep...I'm in.
Been to all the other years in Townsend including the unusual wet event in 2011.....great venue if you like twisty roads.

Dan,

Max & Emily (Okay, Max) mentioned hosting another event near Durham, NC possibly in 2016, as well. I would like to do them both again!

Some year we really should try to do something in West Virginia. As Ken and Katie will attest, there are a lot of really great roads there.

Jim

MGBV8 · October 08, 2013, 10:14:15 PM

Yes, there are! We'll bring our own banjos.

BlownMGB-V8 · October 09, 2013, 10:08:50 AM

Wasn't that North Carolina?

Dan B · October 09, 2013, 11:40:31 AM

Pert' near smany banjers in wesginny as they are in tinnuhsee...

Jim Stabe · October 09, 2013, 11:46:46 AM

Dan - should be "as they is" not "as they are". Get your grammar right.

Dan B · October 09, 2013, 12:41:20 PM

dang!

Dan B · October 09, 2013, 12:42:48 PM

But y'all come to WV! Maybe we could have the fall meet the year Jim & Dan host British V8...

harv8 · October 09, 2013, 10:32:36 PM

Count us in for another Townsend meet!...should have the GT running by then :-)

Since "The Three Stooges" are hosting 2015, it is only fitting that "The Dynamic Duo" host 2016. I'll be there!

danmas · October 21, 2013, 01:22:24 PM

It's official - Jim & I have definately commited to organizing the 2016 meet here in Townsend. The date is still to be determined, but probably May or June.

kstevusa · October 21, 2013, 02:42:29 PM

Dan, could one other option be in conjunction with the 5th Annual Oct. Gathering in Townsend? Perhaps that is just too much going on for a week and week-end? Glad to see another one closer to Right Coast.

danmas · October 21, 2013, 04:21:38 PM

Kelly,

That's an option. What do others think?

May and October are te two best months to visit the Smokies. In May the greenery is at it's lushest; in October you have the fall colors, but you also have the crowds.

lawnvett · October 22, 2013, 10:53:29 PM

Spring or fall is ok with me, is pre- leaf season a good choice for fewer crowds and good weather?

britcars · January 07, 2014, 03:51:47 PM

Dan, I've tried without success to make it to two Townsend events but life has intervened. I will write it for 2016!!
