Talking 944Fest Announcement!

I am EXTREMELY pleased to announce I have come to terms with the location folks and can officially announce that 944Fest 05 is scheduled for July 16th and 17th. We will gather at Snow Trails Ski Lodge, in Lexington, OH starting at noon, Saturday. This facility is very big, very cool, very accomidating and in the middle of some great roads for cruising. I've attached a couple of pics below.
I'm also extremely pleased to announce the first 944Fest DYNO SHOOTOUT! I've booked a chasis dyno to be on hand Saturday from noon to whenever, to put down some HP numbers. Highest HP in several different classes can expect valuable trophies! Sat eve we'll have the customary bonfire, and Sunday we'll show, shine, cruise and give out prizes.
There will be a few changes from past years. For starters, you the crowd will be voting for awards in several different categories. The only prize I'll have any say in will be "Host's Choice". Also, I plan to post an hour by hour schedule of the day's activities so everyone knows when events will be happening. Camping WILL be available on-site, and several hotels are nearby. I'll post more info on those later.
As you may remember, I'm trying not to charge admission for the event. This event will break all records for expenses so I'll be looking for support from sponsors, donors, and T-shirt sales, so remember to pitch in however you can.
I've got a lot of details to work out, so mark your calendars and bear with me while I work to set up an event like no other!

Six months.. I can't wait!!

Sounds like this one is going to be the mother of all Fests!! Maybe us rennlist guys can start a Fest05 savings fund to help with the costs? Anyone interested in getting one started? If we get enought people to donate at leat $5-$10 bux I bet it would really help you out Dan. Just food for thought...
