Howard,
I=E2=80=99d love to participate in such an event, this year, but =
I=E2=80=99m booked solid, already.
=20
The area you mention is chocked full of fabulous driving roads (drove it =
several years ago, with Porsche 356 group) and great places to eat and =
stay overnight.
=20
My recommendation would be to do it, even if you only get a small =
handful of Spridgeteers willing to join you. You=E2=80=99ll all still =
have a great time and be glad you did it. Personally, I=E2=80=99ve =
found the small groups are more fun, anyway.
=20
I used to put together similar events, over Memorial Day weekend, for a =
small group of my friends driving Spridgets (only me), MGAs, MGBs and =
Porsche 356s. I think six or seven couples are the most we ever had. =
Usually four of five couples, which allowed us to completely fill a bed =
& breakfast lodging and have the place all to ourselves. I still have =
friends, who participated in those events, urging me to =E2=80=9Cdo it, =
again=E2=80=9D. I probably will, someday, but right now, I confine my =
efforts to planning & managing/hosting Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix =
Countryside Tour (shameless plug =F0=9F=98=8A).

Fellow Spridgeteers,
=20
After a dismal response to this message last time around, I thought I =
would throw the idea out there one more time to see if it sticks with =
any of you. This is the second and last such notice on this idea.
=20
I am thinking of planning a multi-day Spridget driving event in the =
mid-Atlantic area. The mountains of the western part of Virginia to be =
more specific.=20
=20
I would develop the driving routes which would incorporate solo or group =
drives through the scenic local twisties, as well as along the Blue =
Ridge Pkwy. I would arrange for a local hotel venue at a competitive =
group rate. I envision this being a Friday afternoon/evening arrival, a =
full day of drives on Saturday, and a morning drive before a mid-day =
departure on Sunday. Each night we would enjoy some parking lot tire =
kicking, maybe with an informal swap meet thrown in for good measure. =
Lunch during the drives and dinners each evening would be on our own. =20
=20
What we won=E2=80=99t have are registration fees, a car show, an awards =
banquet, a regalia room or pre-paid anything.
=20
I=E2=80=99m thinking the May/June 2019 timeframe might be good before =
the days heats up.
=20
I=E2=80=99m trying to gauge your possible interest in something like =
this prior to spending time on more detailed planning.
=20
You can either respond via email for all to see or just email me =
directly with your thoughts.
=20
Thank you,
Howard Collins
Virginia Beach, VA.=20
