Let me know when you want to work on it. I plan on trying to organize a
bunch of meets next year starting with another Foxwoods run in April. That
will give me enough time to get all my stuff back together. I would like to
do like all of you started, cruising in as a group. I've started putting
together a calendar of Northeast Mopar events on the MIM page. I'll be
adding events as I find out about them.
Your question about how the class will be split, this is how it would be
handled.
The club will still have the ability to split the class, at the club's
discretion if under 20, but at 20 would become mandatory. 22 vehicles would
constitute a mandatory split. So, we'll never see a class with more than 20
from this point forward. Where to split will also be at the club's
discretion. It will have to be done on a case by case basis. Because it is
hard to predict what kind of turn out we'll have, we want to wait until we
are sure we have a definate pattern before making a permanent class split.
We're going to try a split the classes in a way that is fair and divides the
class some what evenly. It may be a model split, say if we have a large
Dakota turnout (which I know we will!!!!) Dakotas become it's own class. It
may be a year split, 93 and older and 94 and newer (since truck sales really
changed after the introduction of the new Ram). It may be a stock/modified
spilt or maybe a 2/4WD split. It's hard to say until the actuall event.
The truck class is one of the largest classes already, so we know the new
policy will be tested fully next show season.
Great job on the Lebanon Valley pages. I added a link to them on the MIM
page, because we had a pretty good showing there (5 Show Trophies and one
member won the racing for the day). Our shows the C-Bodies are the 63-74
class. The list below is what I know of, if I have any of them wrong, let
me know so I can update it the MIM page.

Swinger

Super Bee, Cordoba, Fury, Monaco

F Body = '76-80 Volare, Aspen, Road Runner and R/T
J Body = '80-83 Mirada and Cordoba
M Body = '77-88 Diplomat, LeBaron, Gran Fury, Fifth Avenue
N Body = '87-96 Dakota (AKA Gen I & Gen II Dakota, I still think 87-96
should be called Gen I and 97+ Gen II(AN Body))
R Body = '79-81 New Yorker and St. Regis
AB Body = '72-00 Ram Van
AN Body = '97-00 Dakota
BR Body = '94-01 Ram Truck

L Body = '78-90 Omni, Horizon, TC-3, 024, Charger, Shelby, GLH, Turismo,
Scamp and Rampage

I was pleased with the 13.5 though I did blow a gear syncro. I'll be
looking for another tranny at a couple of upcoming swap meets.
