For those that attended last year, the event will largely be the same with a few key improvements:

(1) We're retaining the raffle but dropping the auction. People are still welcome to bring parts to buy/sell in swap meet fashion.

(2) Every single car will have a nice, easy-to-read, detailed map of the route to the finish point overlooking the lake.

(3) More of a focus around Chris and his love of RX-7s as well as some basic education around Diabetes.

One other important change is to the method of payment. To register, please paypal $20 per car and $10 per additional passenger (children are free) to: ChrisCarlisiMemorial@yahoo.com. If you'd like a T-Shirt, please include $15 per shirt along with the size you'd like. List your full name, forum name, email address, and short description of your rotary steed. All profits benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.

For now, here is a link to last year's thread that should answer any questions: http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.ph...hlight=carlisi

Please subscribe to this thread and check periodically as I'll be updating this initial post with new information.

Lastly, we're going to need local volunteers to assist in the preparation out in Riegelsville PA in late July and early August in order to take a load off of Gordon, who has done way too much the last two years on his own. Please post in the thread and PM me if you're interested in helping out
