Hi all,

Thankfully I have a bit of time off (as no doubt my recent posts show).

I got to thinking,  what about a central meeting?  Winnipeg is, technically,
on a few dozen miles from the VERY geographic centre of North America.  Know
where I'm going with this one?

Seriously,  we did host a 75 car regional (with the A.Healey club) with cars
from Ontario,  Saskatchewan,  No,Dak.  Mn, etc.  Our turn is again in 2001,
typically in June.

Anybody interested in making this a biggie?  We have our own "private" race
track with nothing to hit - on the topic, it is an abandoned WW2 airbase
where "spitifres" likely one were -   Resort hotel on a lake big enough to
look like an ocean (Lake Winnipeg, smaller ONLY than the Great Lakes),  45
min drive North of Winnipeg which is only 1 hour North of the No. Dakota
border.  Winnipeg boasts lots of turn-of-the century architecture (we were,
at that time the Chicago of the North - Grain ),  parks equal to none, 2
major rivers running through town, etc.

Now would definitely be the time to start planning such an extravaganza,
perhaps as the "North VTR regional" ?!?

Dave T
waiting for Spring!
