Unfortunately I have a stick race that Saturday, so again I won't make it over this year.

It's finally in a warm part of the year and I can't get there?  Dammit.

Thanks for the reminder! I certainly want to attend even if the car stays home!

Motor is still out of car hoping to get back together before the reunion. We will see. Maybe go up for Saturday to watch racing but 5 hrs there then 5 hrs home maybe not.

I'm planning on being there. Unfortunately, I'll have to rent a truck to haul there. I've got the F350 partially torn down for some work and won't have time to finish it. I'll probably sleep in the trailer to offset the added expense. Or maybe I'll start a Go-Fund-Me...lol

Keith, will you be bringing your car this year?

Sadly no, I had hoped. I have the whole front suspension ripped out of the car , updating it. New strange struts, new rack, pretty much going through the whole car updating and sheading some weight. Getting prepared for a new engine/trans combo . Gonna give it one more last hurrah..

Does anyone know if there are any kind of covid restrictions or policies in place for the reunion? Mask mandate, proof of vaccination, negative covid test ?

I’m in Cincinnati and plan to hop on my motorcycle when I get off work Friday at 5:30p and ride most of the way over.  I’ll be there when gates swing open Saturday morning.. Also for those that may be interested there is a BIG sprint car race just down the road at Port Royal paying $54,000 to the winner.  I’ll be there as well.

OK, I've still got the camper on the truck all ready to go. I thought I might come out just as a spectator.

I would be there Weds thru Sat.

Does anyone know if the onsite camping is just for participants or is it available for spectators also?

Kinda late to be making this decision and I'm trying to figure out my options.

I would really like to make it this year.

My annual "maybe next year" post...

The real reason this year though is no vacation time as a civilian...I used to keep 45-60 days on the book as a military guy, and mama wants to go to Disneyworld in Feb and I have some engines to dyno between now and then taking more days off. 

Next year though...really LOL

you pay an admission fee, so I think that would make you a participant.

 I`m not gonna make it. The car didn`t get done, and I`ve been way to busy at the shop. All my weekends this month are loaded with something going on.

Talked to Mike the track owner today. Parking and camping are free. You must pay admission for each day and each person. No hookups, bookdock style and the showers never got installed this year.

Shady and Doug, thank you very much.

I figured it was boondocking. Wish I had bought that little generator when I was looking last year. I only have the 1 aux battery in the truck. Don't think it will last that long! Everything else runs off of propane so I'm good there. I'll figure something out.

Looks like I might make it after all!!!

Thanks again, Erich

I am not going to make it.
Car is not currently running.
Trailer has my complete engine dyno cell packed into it.
Just finished up exiting prior building yesterday after lease non-renewal.
New building went from nice, clean and organized to "swap meet chaos " in three weeks.

I'm not going to make it either. Price for renting a F250-350 truck would have been $800-$1000, and it would have cost me 2 more vacation days for pick-up and return. Then add another $500-$600 for fuel. $1500 just for transportation is more than I can swallow. Of course it figures the weather looks to be near perfect this year.  :(

I feel ya Doug the first year I went I rented a yukon and it was like 250 a day plus extra mileage. I got to the reunion my car ran like crap and I didnt have what I needed to fix it so I went home to save some rental fees. It still cost me with mileage. Well what were you bringing anyway Doug dont you have a new setup.

Joe, I was just going to bring the Mustang. I do have some major changes coming up for it, but was hoping I could run it one more time at the Reunion in its current state. The last couple years have not been kind to any of my plans though. :(

Sorry to hear about Doug. I was going to look you up tomorrow.
I’m looking forward to more hot FEs rolling in for Saturday action.

Great weather.
 Bump for Elite 8 was 9.51 and change. Tony Fritz won it piloting a Maverick. I believe he originally missed the field by thousandths but got in after one of the 8 could not go.
Many stout cars.

Jim,

I saw that the NHRA event at Reading PA was the same weekend. Was attendance at FERR down this year? Looking at the webcam and youtube videos I didn't see a big crowd.

Does anybody know if the 2022 FE Reunion will be back to the April dates, or stay with the 2021 September date? Now that I am "only" 1200 miles from Beaver Springs, compared to almost 4000 miles before, I was really hoping to make this years event, but the Canada/US Border situation squashed that.Hopefully next year!

Lars, I felt like Friday was down but Saturday was close to normal. I imagine the promoters know the totals.
I thought of you when I saw this 7 Litre.  Stick with console and was for sale.
