40th Downeast Street Rod Run. Hebron Pines Campgrounds, Hebron Maine

[1927 Death Trap]

Thanks a bunch guys! This is all a big help. Our club as well as a few others in the area are all planning to hit at least 2 or 3 shows with 100% participation and all this info is really helpful. Many guys have young family's with new babies, or houses to work on and last season nobody really got out much, so this season we have decided that we will make it out with the entire club at least a few times. We're looking to go to some that will require more than just a 20 minn ride, but more like a 2 or 3 hour run. If anyone or any other clubs are interested we are all based out of Rhode Island, so you could just stay in touch and meet up wherever we leave from, or the caravan could stop along the way to meet up with another group. I have a few events to put up on this thread as soon as we lock in the dates with the venues. Thanks again, big help from everyone.

this show was killer last summer, on a day with showers in the morning. I can only imagine what it'll be like with a year's worth of momentum.
