For those of you who did not attend the spring meet in Holland, here's an
update on the fall meet. Events are still coming together and the registration
form will be out in one to two weeks. You will not want to miss this historic
meet in the heart of Kiekhaefer country. Here's what we can tell you
now:
Our hotel is in beautiful Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, home of the
world famous Road America, the finest natural terrain road race course in the
country. The rate is $135.60/night based on a four right stay. We will be
there just after the 60th anniversary of the only NASCAR Grand National race
ever held there - the 300-B was on the cover of the race program. We have
touring laps for your 300/Mopar/special interest car booked on Sept. 22., with
a dinner at the track in the works. You will have to preregister at $27 per
car.
Elkhart Lake was chosen for road racing by Chicago and Milwaukee
sports car enthusiasts for its beautiful rolling countryside in Wisconsin's
Kettle Morraine region. We will tour the original public-road race courses of
1950-2, now a designated national historic site.

We are sorting out the
details for a tour of Mercury Racing. In case you haven't been paying
attention, this is the true performance legacy of the Chrysler 300. Mercury
Racing is back in automotive big time. Here's an idea of what they've been up
to lately - make sure you click on the "Passion for Performance" video for
some Chrysler 300 racing footage:

We will hold our
concours in Elkhart Lake and have our awards banquet at the hotel. It will be
a plated dinner with choice of short rib, chicken breast, or vegetarian option
in the low $40s.
Other things in the works:
A very special
guest speaker
TSD Rally with cheese factory tour
A Wisconsin
Fish Fry
300-G parts auction (donated by former member, noted restorer
and raconteur Joe James.)
The return of concours judging, the evening
business meeting, and more
Elkhart Lake is about 2.5 hours north of
Chicago, and an hour from Milwaukee. We hope to see you there, and don't
forget to bring your 300 for a romp on the storied asphalt of Road America.
Otherwise you will be bumming a ride. Hope to have things more firmed up this
week. In the meantime feel free to email with any questions. Brought to you by
Andy Mikonis, Brian Frank and Carlton Schroeder.
