Man, here it is March 15, and we're already getting excited! We met so many great folks last year; Rob 'n' Bob, Al and Jack, Bob Lapke, Hanson and Randy and family, Brian and Dottie, Dan the Flandoman, Hank and Marylin Rotroff, Pearl Gamble, Ron and Sue and so many more. Will have a bigger steering wheel on the Sprint this year so it can actually be driven! Tubing is in the shop for bending on the repops, so,???
Rob, I took the plate to Water Jet Cutting yesterday, and performed requested operation towards Eclipse office across the street! I hope there was somebody in there to receive "finger"! Cheers, Ted

Ted,
Does the "NEW" steering wheel have the "CUT OUT" for belly clearence?
If so I need some of those for my use!!!!!! Have you got a spare? ROLF!!
Looking forward to seeing you and Charlie again this year at TBO.
Go Fast!!

Hey, Al! Would you believe I've lost some of that tummy? I think I will design a flat butterfly wheel sort of "cranked" upward from horizontal to give extra clearance. The hard part is the grips. I can waterjet cut the center section, but the grips have to be machined and black anodized. So, I guess it DOES have the belly clearance! Maybe I will begin selling them as "Belly Wheels". Charlie and I look forward to you and Jack at TBO! You guys are a blast! Cheers! Ted

Cut out the pattern and use a broom stick split and bolted on sanded and varnished like they used to. It would be cool.

How about fancy walnut dowel split? Wish I had a bandsaw. Actually I COULD make the grips straight instead of curved... I bought 2 Covico 12" wheels yesterday for the Swoopsters. Rexmarine, $54 each with stainless spokes! Cassell Marine, SAME wheel for $190! Beware! Have a good weekend, everyone! Ted

Whats the word on rooms at the Holiday Inn ?
Thanks
Brian

Brian,

We will hopefully be finalizing everything early this week.

Working out the details do to corporate accusitions, transfers, contact promotions etc. has really made this job of securing a discount motel rate a constant walk through a revolving door and has brought new meaning to the phrase 'phone tag'.

Please be patient though and stay tuned for complete reservation info later this week.

March 26, 2008.

We were once again able to secure a limited block of rooms at the Fremont Holiday Inn at the intersection of Rt. 53 and the Ohio Turnpike. This motel as in years past will also serve as our official event headquarters and will feature a Saturday night get together and dinner.

A special event rate of $65.00 per night per double is being offered until August 15, 2008 but you must contact The Fremont Holiday Inn directly and mention that you want a room for The Big One to recieve this special discount rate.

Contact The Fremont Holiday Inn directly at 1-419-334-2682 to make your reservations. DO NOT call the Holiday Inn 1-800 number, they will not honor this rate.

The Big One....because it is.

OK, Lets try this again. Make sure to tell them the rate is for "The Big One" $65 for a double. If they don't know about it M A K E them take your reservation and tell them to have Kerri aprove it and they can call you back.

If you have any more trouble please inform me ASAP.
Thanks
Rob
