OK,

Before I fill out this form I need to know....shirt sizing - are we talking men's small etc or are we talking a unisex small or what? Help Chuck please!

Cheers,

[Chuck Miller]

Hey Lis,

I'd love to mess with your question... but I know this stuff is important.. so here goes...

It varies a little because Hammond tries different brands and styles but...

We're talk'n 'standard' men's T-shirt sizing from Small to XXX ... a Small is still big on a (normal) pre-teen...

Gals usually go from a Small to a Medium to wear out... to a Large if you like the room... to a XL for a night shirt...

Guys - Usually Large to XL

I'm about 5-7, 155lbs, medium build and I take a large..but... if there runn'n big, sometimes a medium...

You can always e-mail Mike Hammond and maybe get the answers I don't have...

Man, I hope this is some help sweetie...

[lisa_spyder]

And I'd love to mess with your answer... (night shirt? what night shirt??? )...but hey thanks - just what I wanted to know.

When Clyde did our shirts for last year's Nats they were gorgeous high quality 'blokey' golf shirts - but they were huge! Now I didn't mind as I am 'one of the boys' and wanted to be in the spirit of things, but when Mum pulled hers on I swear it went down to her knees! Clyde wouldn't hear of it ("you look like you're wearing a tent Lis") and sweetheart that he is organised a couple of girls shirts for us. As I have orders from home to fill as well I just wanted to know so as not to muck you guys around with sizes (you'll have enough to do).

So now we're officially on the countdown...yippee

Cheers,

[Chuck Miller]

It seems we're having slow pre-registrations and hotel pre-reservations for our Anniversary event...

This is going to be a GREAT event...

- Mike Mascaro and myself are going to lead a fun-run-tour on Sat. afternoon ending up at the Hotel before the banquet...

- Stoddard European Imports have just come on board as event sponsor, and will be introducing themselves to whole new generation of early 911 enthusiasts.

I JUST finished the T-shirt design today ... and it's cool, different then I usually do...

The room rate for the Marriott Hotel, $135.00 single and $145.00 double is valid only until Aug. 19. After that date, the rate will go back up to $200.00 per night. Call the hotel directly at 805-643-6000 and reserve your room under the Early 911S Registry. The hotel has provided us with reserved parking at the rear of the hotel-like last year and we will have display space at the entrance of the hotel for 4-5 Early 911S Registry cars. We will be selecting the cars to be displayed from the people signed up for the dinner on Saturday night.


The Early 911S Registry 15th anniversary Dinner will be at the Ventura Marriott on the Saturday night of the German Auto Fest, September 10, 2005.

--The evening ceremonies host driver Davey Jordan sharing his experiences from the 60s and early 70s when he raced at Sebring, Daytona and other famed circuits in such legendary Porsches as the RSK, RS-60, the Elva Porsche, the 904, Carrera 6, 908 and of course, the 911S.

The evening will also include a presentation from automotive journalist Mitchell Sam Rossi highlighting the build up of his 1970 911S into currently competitive Martini&Rossi-inspired club race car. The car will be on display during the evening. Both speakers will also be available for Q&A sessions.

We will also have door prizes and racing movies from the 70's. The door prizes are provided by Stoddard Motor Cars and the Early 911S Registry. The registration form in the Newsletter and on the web site asks that the form be mailed in by Aug. 10, we are extending the date to Aug. 24. Please send in your registration, the dinner is limited to 100 people.


The Early 911S Registry tent and Boutique will be at the same place as last year-between the two exhibit buildings and we have arranged to park our cars along with the R-Gruppe cars on the grass at the end and north side of Main Street. We have parking passes for each club with plenty of space for a description of your car on the parking pass. Please send an email requesting a pass and for what club to johndilger@aol.com and I will email back. I need to know how many people are planning to attend. We will line up out side of the enteric to the Fair Grounds at 7 AM on Saturday to drive in as a group. The parking pass is needed, so that the people directing you will put you is the right area. When driving is, hold up the pass so that the people directing traffic can see which club you want to park with.

Chuck, sounds like it will be a fantastic night, I know Lisa and Phil are very much looking forward to it. I would love to be there but someone has to hold the Fort. I hear there might be some others from downunder making the trek over for GAF!
I am glad to hear that slow replies,and non-commitment is not just an Australian problem, but an international one! We, TYP901 and most other clubs and associations I know of have the same problems. Good luck,hope it all goes well.

[Chuck Miller]

Thanks Mike...

We'll do our best to host your crew...and all who come from far and wide

Who knows, might be a little some'n extra for those who traveled the furthest outside and inside the US...

... this late registration deal is 'no bloody walk on the beach' mate

[lisa_spyder]

Chuck,

Another TYP901 Register member (Andrew) is making his way over along with a Kiwi mate of his (Michael) who lived for years in Aus. - both early 911 owners who I am told love their wives dearly as they have been granted a long weekend leave pass to come along!

Well we're about to embark along the same journey as you guys...our Nationals booking forms go out tomorrow. No doubt we'll watch the rsvp date come and go with only the "good guys" having responded in time . It's a shame that some people just don't get it - if you can't get confirmed numbers in time you can't confirm anything for the event, like venues and merchandise orders. I often wonder if some people understand just how much it takes to get these events off the ground (like I hit the sack at 3.00am this morning as I was doing a score of things for the Nats.). Maybe one day the shoe will be on the other foot... .

Cheers,
L
