We went (with 6 other Miatas) last year...planning on going this year.

John: your "safety island" picture is hilarious

Isn't it? It's for real - I took it at a gas station near us. In Maine (as in most places) the folks don't like the state to tell us what to do - the town maybe, but not the state & never the Feds. (e.g. Citizen outrage killed emissions testing about 5 years ago AFTER it had been implemented)

The state demanded the "safety island" and the station owner didn't agree. After a few customers ran over it, he put up the sign.

The state eventually backed off.

I plan to be there all weekend. If you see a guy who looks, um, "vintage", wearing a "Union Farm Equipment Inc" hat, stop me and say hi.

I'll be there Saturday for sure....if I play hookey from work on Friday,I'll bring the Sprite. Otherwise, white Miata. My hat says "USS Isherwood DD-520" (long story).
