Congratulations Dennis. Hopefully we'll see your car in the "50 year Anniversary Display" at Carlisle next August.

Dennis:
I just went to the blurb about the 2017 50-year display on the "Carlisle Events" website to see if they're doing a "67 for 67" anniversary display, but nothing is mentioned. I know you mentioned this as a possibility/suggestion at Carlisle this August. Are they still considering it?

Wayne, When I talked with Lance last time at C@C he liked two ideas, one of which was mine. I'll be talking with him in the future too see what on the radar. Dennis

You may want to talk to Joe Clemente too. I think he has a lot of input, but 67 cars instead of 20 may be a chore.
