    Well, the rain held up but the threat cancelled the Rally. It conditions were just to bad for many of the cars that planed to attend. We had some guys show up, so we took a nice drive and had lunch. I want to reschule and looking for ideas for dates. Next Sunday was looked at but I want to give everyone a chance to attend and a few are going out of town.
    So it's open to discussion.

    Thanks to those who came out. It was nice to see everyone!!

    My un-galvanized body panels and I have to admit to being too chicken to make it. The forecast looked pretty bad, and I was also worried about driving 2 hours down there and finding the event cancelled. Looks like a good turnout for such bad weather. I will certainly plan to be at the next event. I am open on the date. There will be a couple of weekends in May I will be working and unable to make it, but I do not have my calender here in front of me.

    Well, after thinking some about the rally and looking at the posibility of some hot weather in June, I am going to run it this Sunday May 4th. If anyone can make it that would be great.
    I want to schedule another rally in the fall, October or early November.

    Drivers meeting is at 11:30.
    Hattiesburg Convention Center
    US 49 and I-59

    Thanks Gerald. Nice meeting Webb.

    Looks like my left fog light has come loose.
    Took it off just before the trip because the water temp switch action was flakey and found the spade conenctors were dirty.

    This is part of the rally route. Nathan, if you run late you can pick up the route at US 49 and Hwy 84 in Collins around 1:00-1:30.

    Thanks again Gerard for being such a great organizer. Mother nature can sure throw us some curves!

    There is about a 75% chance I will be able to make it down by noon, how quickly I get done on sunday morning depends completely on how bad things are saturday night. On an average sunday I am done by 9:00 or so. I will just take the Mondial to work with me and leave straight from there on Sunday morning.

    My buddy Josh may come with his M3, and I have another friend with a 911 I am trying to talk into it. Also Josh may bring along guy we know who is trying to decide between buying a Ferrari (328 or 355) and a 911. So we will all have to show him the correct path to take on that one. Also a couple of guys with E-Type Jags I mentioned it to, but I haven't heard anything back from them.

    I was trying to figure if I brought along every internal combustion engine I own (cars, jet ski, weedeater, model airplanes, generator, etc) if I could match that 650 hp in the vette. I think I would still be a few ponies short.

    My little brother is still planning on at least coming to see the cars at the start, so his offer to navigate for someone still stands. If anyone is interested in having him try to read a map for them, PM me.

    It is a very nice car from Vicksburg. 1970 365 GT 2+2....Last week 3 Ferrari's and 1 Maserati.........this week 4 Ferrari's and 1 Maserati!!
    I think we will try to do something in the Fall, maybe on the Gulf Coast, that would be a little closer. Hope your trip went well.

    Gerard
