Hey everyone,
Been a while since I've posted about this. Since this is going to be in
Texas, we are going to do it bigger. As well as two Sprites, there will
be two weekends! This will give folks some flexibility and options.
DATES:
Weekend One: May 20th-22nd
Weekend Two: May 27th-30th (Memorial Day weekend)
LOCATION:
Driftwood, TX (just southwest of Austin)
VEHICLES:
1965 Sprite
1969 Sprite
We are in the process of getting my Dad's Sprite from Fort Worth to my
place, and he's already started ordering parts. I've been swamped with
work, but will be contacting Hap very soon to get started on the engine
rebuild for mine.
Let me know if you have any questions or need more info. Looking forward
to this!
Greg Gowins
