Chuck Hards has said all along he'd be willing to bring his muscle car.
Clarification: The RX-8 is most certainly NOT a "muscle car", lol. That term refers to high-horsepower cars, typically with V-8 engines. "Point and shoot" type cars that go fast in a straight line but generally don't handle well in turns. Mine is a "sports car", meaning reasonable power but the emphasis on handling, balance, and "feel". Sometimes called "sportsters" and "roadsters", though some would argue that a roadster must be a 2-seat convertible.
So the question is, would that be enough to qualify as a show? Chuck, Barney, can you commit to 23 August?
I can commit, provided there is some provision on-site for car clean-up. One tends to collect quite a few bugs on a trip to Stansbury in summertime. Also, bringing the Mazda means that I can only bring a small refractor or my 4.25" f/5 telescope. What about the sci-fi movie? Is my portable DVD player and sound system required?
