Gary please add the Flying Turtle ( my wife Linda) to the list. She will be driving the SRT roadster and joining us for the fun at the lodge. During the day on Sat. ( and probably Sunday too) she will be at the casino with the high rollers

Might just have to wing it.
Look at the list in post 2 on this thread and I would assume the regulars can be counted as coming.

Thanks for the invite..looking forward to being there

I thnik We'll just take the number coming and multiply by two and go with that.j I haven't a clue what were driving discussing either the Chalenger or the Abarth....the Abarth would be more fun! I'll have to go slower in the Challenger to avoid dragging the frongt spoiler thru some of those transitions.

Look forward to see you and Barbara at the happy occasion! What would you like us to bring?

Beside the Gen Coupe folks - there is Fiat TN group at the same weekend as ours but they don’t stay at Fontana.

Spring is so late this year. Crumpy and I do hope everyone has a safe trip and a good time.

I am hoping to arrive at the hotel by about 5-6 PM Thursday. Since I have never been to one of these and don't know anyone, where would I meet up with the Crossfire folks who are coming in on Thursday?

I'm coming in on Thursday. Look for an ugly bloke in a Mercedes Hat. We can grab a bite to eat at the grill around 6:30 if you'd like. I'm sure Mark will join us too.

Not true, most owners are aware that they drove a Chryzler to the dragon and wear Crossfire appearal.

Plus I don't foresee 10 crossfire people being there on Thursday.
