To save everyone the trouble of clicking on the link and to help make more people aware of the event, here is the text of Doug's post in the other thread...

Aero Car National Meet, sponsored by Daytona-Superbird Auto Club.  Our 2007 National Meet will be held in Milwaukee Wisconsin. Dates are August 23rd thru 26th.  Owners of Daytonas, Superbirds, Charger 500's and all other enthusiasts are invited.   

The event will be held in conjunction with the Governor's Cup 250 ARCA race weekend, and the Milwaukee Masterpiece Concours d'Elegance on Milwaukee's lakefront. In addition, the Milwaukee Mile is hosting a Racers Reunion, and are contacting owners of vintage stock cars to bring them for display, and also drivers.   Here's what we've got planned:

Thursday 8/23 – Tour of Harley-Davidson engine manufacturing plant. Afternoon tour of Miller Brewing, and the Mitchell Park Horticultural Domes.

Friday 8/24 – Tour and Reception at Aloha Automotive. See how they do it at one of the country's premier restoration facilities. More muscle during our afternoon tour at Colin's Classic Auto. Later, a police escorted motorcade through Milwaukee's Lake Drive area. This will be part of the press preview for the Milwaukee Masterpiece Concours event weekend.

Saturday 8/25 – Aero Car Concours at the Masterpiece Speed and Style Showcase - Club Day at Veterans Park on Milwaukee's Lakefront. This is a spectacular venue right on Lake Michigan. Late afternoon display on the track at the Milwaukee Mile after ARCA qualifying. There will be an opportunity for plenty of photos on-track, and the fans will be able to come down and see the cars.

Sunday 8/26 – Display at the Milwaukee Mile, Parade lap prior to the ARCA Governor's Cup 250. Plans are for a pair of Race Aero Cars to actually pace the ARCA field prior to taking the green flag. This will be a televised race on Speed Channel.

Hotel arrangements are pending, but we will have the information by the next newsletter or online at www.superbirdclub.com The track is negotiating a racers rate with a couple of local hotels, and we are waiting for confirmation.

I heard that key story. Was quite entertaining.

[Aero426]

I heard that key story. Was quite entertaining.

Yeah, that was one for the ages, for sure.   

[PocketThunder]

Well are you gonna tell us the rest of us the key story are are we gonna have to go to Milwaukee to hear it? 

[Aero426]

After the Friday Indianapolis tornado in 2002, the Fairgrounds were a mess and we were just going to have our show at the hotel.  Well, at the last minute we decided to go to the Fairgrounds as things cleaned up pretty well.   Trouble was, ol' 3Daytona and his missus had the red car all out and ready for show.  So we had to get it back in the trailer and locked down pretty quick.     I of course volunteered to help.   

Well, after getting everything ready to go, all we have to do is start the tow rig and be on the way - except there's no keys for the rig - ANYWHERE.   

A half hour search commenced, all through the trailer,  the Daytona, the truck the ground,  everyone' pockets, etc.  No keys anywhere.   Well,  for some reason, I looked in my pockets after all this, and lo and behold, there were the keys.  I have no idea how I wound up with them.  But I did. 

I am surprised I wasn't shot on sight...

[69_500]

Delma told me about that last year at the Monster Mopar weekend, and they were having a good laugh about it then. Jim and his wife are great. They have always been some of the nicest people I've ever ran across at various shows. Everytime I talk to Jim on the phone he asks how my 3 year old son is doing.

[3--Daytona]

  Well I would have shot him on site,,  but   I didnt have any gun,,,,,, What a weekend,,,Good times with good people,,,,,, Should of seen Doug's face, when keys turned up in his pocket!!!!!!!!!  3-daytona

Nothing like having a front row seat to this one!  I live in West Allis, WI. and I am only 3 miles from the track. Too bad mine isn't a "Real" Aero car....

I saw your car at Oscars last year.   We'd welcome you to come and join us for the weekends activities.   

Doug

[Arigmaster]

Yeaaa....  The "purists" would probably give me a hard time...

[Aero426]

Actually, we're pretty easy going. 

Believe it or not, you wouldn't be the first Charger to attend one of our events with the rare skull wing option.  I'm serious about this!

[69_500]

How about wingless Chargers?

I'm still planning on coming up for that show Doug.

[Aero426]

Hi Danny, everyone is welcome to attend.

Doug

[69_500]

I was just being a smartie.  I'm trying my best to make arrangements to be there this year.

If you want a lower cost hotel, send me a PM.  I have something lined up very close by.  They have a smaller parking lot and can't handle the whole group when we start figuring in trailers.

[Aero426]

There will be several real deal Aero race cars attending the Milwaukee event and making some noise.

Bobby Isaac's K & K Insurance Daytona (1970 NASCAR Championship car)
Ramo Stott's #7 Superbird (1970 ARCA Championship car)
Bob Brevak's 1972 USAC Hemi Charger
Benny Parsons #98 Torino Talladega (ARCA Championship car)

Tentative plans are to run Isaac's K & K Daytona on Aloha Automotive's chassis dyno.
