Do you think there will be another V-8 National meet?
Don't you think it about time for another National meet? My wife is driving me crazy staying home. Its hell thinking there no more National meet in the future. Probably twice the distance between cars to be safe when they ever have one.

Re: Do you think there will be another V-8 National meet?
Talk about 'twice the distance,' there IS a meet on May 14-17, it's just in Toowoomba Queensland.
My RG did the 2014 and 2016 Gettysburg meets, and was going to do the one in Morgantown last year. I doubt we'll be hosting a meet in the next decade, but I sure hope someone steps up. I have a good time at them! In July 22, the Puget Sound RG18 is doing one.

Re: Do you think there will be another V-8 National meet?
I've said it before, and I'll say it again : I'd go to Toowoomba just to say I've been there!

I can't go because I have not had my shots yet.

I don't trust the Government about the shots. We don't know the outcome of the shots.

Ken,
Just do it. If you want an incentive, I won't let you into my indoor junkyard unless you can produce your CDC card showing that you've had both. |

Do you have a primary care doctor? Listen to him regarding the vaccine.
Yes, I think there will be another National meet. Last edited by Zeke3; 05-01-2021 at 07:36 PM. Reason: added opinion on subject of post. |

Re: Do you think there will be another V-8 National meet?
I doubt there will be a national meet for at least two years. The club has gone super cautious and who wants to put all the work in to have the state shut it down at their whim.
You know what is really funny? When people who smoke lecture me about what I need to do for my health.

Re: Do you think there will be another V-8 National meet?
Old Redneck...My mother in law and father in law are both 94 years old and in an assisted living facility in Dallas, Texas. Their apartment at the facility is a small one bedroom apartment. Both of them have had both shots. Two days after my father in law got his second shot, well within the timeframe prior to the second shot having time to work, he tested positive for COVID-19. He was asymptomatic and remained asymptomatic. He spent a total of three days isolated in another building at the facility and returned to his apartment. My mother in law, despite the close quarters, never tested positive despite her husband testing positive. There was a time in the recent past when a 94 year old like my father in law would have been in dire straits contracting COVID-19, his wife would have been at great risk, and the other residents at the facility would have been at great risk.
I share a good bit of your mistrust regarding government and politicians. If they had to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, they would all stand mute. |

Re: Do you think there will be another V-8 National meet?
I despise big gov't esp now but after almost loosing my sister and bro inlaw who refused
the shots I'm quite happy Alice and I got ours. The odds are on the side of those who get the vaccine. Ken, you have think about what happens to your legacy and Barb if something happens to you. You're not big guy but you cast a big shadow, I know you know what I mean. Charlie ny |

Re: Do you think there will be another V-8 National meet?
Getting on my soap box that has never been used before. If you can get the vaccine nearby there is no reason to not do it. I have been working more than the last year with a mask on because my now full time employer requires both employees and shoppers to have one on in our more than 300 plus stores based in Wisconsin. They were one of the first to adapt this model and after some time it became totally natural for myself. My wife, myself and children have all been totally vaccinated, but still follow the local regulations, but I want to get back to normal. Please get vaccinated for yourselves and those around you! I wasn't alive when Polio was a horrible problem but I don't think people hesitated when a vaccine was provided to us. Sorry for my soap-box but It's been more than a year of this and we've lost too many good people.

Page 22 of the March/April V8 Times has a short article entitled "The Grand National in Auburn?" indicating the possibility of a 60th anniversary Grand National in Auburn for 2023.

Re: Do you think there will be another V-8 National meet?
I believe that is not going to happen. It appears that they are going back to Dearborn. I believe that decision has been made by the BOD. Been to Dearborn 4 times and have no desire to return.
