Hi,
very cool post, I get an update?

Bump

Stay tuned for an update on an event planned for Shreveport La. stop over Saturday nite, on way to Palestine.   Looks like we will have a WARM-UP  gathering and caravan the final 175 miles to Palestine on Sunday.  Hotel and plans  to be announced soon.  Saturday should be a great travel day and we can meet up for a parking lot party.  Shrevepot has casinos and other attractions.  Local MG'ers will probably drop by also.    Stay tuned

Room booked!

Look forward to seeing you all in May!

Booked my room today.

I made my res for Hampton Inn Palestine arriving Sunday 5/20 departing 5/24, still not sue about Shreveport La., I need to work the travel schedule with a couple other of the NC guys who may want to convoy.

Please note, the update promised is now posted.  the hotel is Best Western Shreveport and  the rate is $99 inclusive with free parking.  Code is British V8 or thereabouts? See the MG portion on this board or MGE for more info

I hope to see you all in Palastine !   My Jag has come a long way in the last 6-8 months.   All the mechanicals are finished.  It is getting painted Monday (Dark Gray Metallic).   Now for all the "reassembly" -  windows, finish the wiring and interior work.   It may not be totally finished by May but I plan on driving it to Palastine anyway.  Some of the interior trim might be missing but I can live with that.  Wish me luck!

Awesome, Ken!  Be sure to include the Shreveport Rendevous on Saturday night before arriving in Palestine!

Man, I like it flat black.  It looks sinister!

Is it too early to ask about any of the plans for the meet? Tracks, museums, drives, shop visits, etc.?? Only 5 months ya know.

OOPS only 4 months.

I'm wondering too.  Only thing I've heard is there's dyno time planned... but that was from a round about source so no idea if it's true.

One thing we've talked about is blocking out something like 2 hours for the BADASS annual meeting but haven't decided on when. I'm thinking it should be early on, maybe in the first or second day but have no real preference as to whether it is say mid morning, mid afternoon or early evening. Anyone have a preference?

OK, the registration form and schedule are finalized and are posted on the meetings page.  Go to
http://www.britishv8.org/British-V8-Meetings.htm.  Download the PDF version and you'll see the final schedule.

We will have dyno sessions and slalom/autocross.  Lots more to do.

Monday we'll have a Rallye/Poker Run.  Prizes and fame for the winner(s) of that.  Also Monday will be a tour of the Texas State Railroad Steam Train repair facility in nearby Rusk.  Kind of like a car guys' shop, but with much BIGGER stuff!

Tuesday will be busy with the dyno sessions and slalom event.  Tuesday night we'll have a Texas Hold 'em Poker tournament - winners will receive event regalia and top winner will also get a free hotel night.

Here is an example of the regalia for British V8 2012.  The shirts (t-shirts, polos, sweatshirts) will be the same blue with the logo embroidered on like the hat here.  We need to turn in the regalia order no later than April 23, so send me your registrations!

Hi Wayne, I'll register later today... Have had hotel registered for a while, just hadn't taken the time to send in the meet registration but will fix that.  I know you need to know numbers and have the registration fees to make it all happen.  Definitely appreciate the work you're putting into it!!
