EVeryone,

I got contacted about having some SHO's at this event.

I don't know who this Kerry Diehl is, but I would guess he 
has something to do with eyes on design organization. 
Usually Autoweek magazine is heavily involved.

Any SHO folks wish to attend and represent the SHO Community?

Kerry tells me that the Friday dinner is about $20+ bucks 
and we could attend, it is open to the public I guess.

The big deal is the Sunday car show.  I am asking Kerry to 
see if we can't get an SHO to represent the line in the main 
show.  I think this is probably highly unlikely, but is 
there a VERY nice stock SHO in the upper midwest that might 
like to attend, probably a Gen I or Gen II since that is 
mostly when Jack was in power at Ford.

Kerry says he can arrange a special parking area for SHO's 
ACROSS from the main parking lot on Sunday, and as usual, we 
are kind of an afterthought, not even allowed on the main 
spectator parking area.  That is why I asked to have a car 
in the show itself.  If they can't do that, then I am not 
real anxious to support it in other ways, but if anyone 
wants to go, it is a very good car show anyway.
