True enough - if you want to keep Christine here, give me some
advance warning so I can have the level 3 biohazard containment
bunker built and blast doors installed. ;-)

Unfortunately they park the vehicles based on year/make/model
rather than club affiliation, so you'd have to park with the
Rams, but every year I've been there, they have parked the Rams
right next to the Daks so you wouldn't be parked very far away;
probably just a few rows over from the DML tent.

That's OK, last year I entered a beater convertible and won 1st
place. ;-) There are actually many, many vehicles there which are
well past their prime. Its just about having fun and entering a
vehicle (any vehicle) for club participation. :-)
Actually, your Ram might be perfect - something I have always
wanted to try, and have not seen anyone do yet is to enter a
vehicle which is completely plastered with mud. I'd love to do
that to mess with some minds; there's people there polishing their
valve stems with a baby diaper, and here I come dripping a couple
hundred pounds of Steigermud... :-) (Ok, it will probably have
dried by then, but the effect is still there.) Not saying you
should do that, its just been something I'd like to try someday. ;-)
Unfortunately, the only vehicle that would "work" for with me
is the 4x4 Ram, which isn't a vehicle I anticipate bringing to
Carlisle.
