Prince Frederick Dodge has agreed to sponser our first 'MOPAR OLD SCOOL/NEW SCHOOL' Meet and Greet to be held Saturday April 5th, 2008 from 10:30am to 1:30pm. This meet and greet will be too cool. I have contacted several MOPAR Car Clubs and have invited them to our meet. We're looking at the old school here, like the Chargers, Cuda's, Challengers, Road Runners and I'm hoping to get some Super Birds if the guys are willing to bring em out!!! The M&G will be strickly MOPAR and us NEW SCHOOL guys will have an oppurtunity to mingle with the OLD SCHOOL guys and just have fun! I'm hoping we get some old Hemi's too. Right now we have a positive thumbs up from the MARYLAND MOPAR CAR CLUB and hope we get a nice turn out from these guys, here is a snapshot of the member's rides:

Maryland Mopars - Member's Rides!!

Anyway I'm so excited about this M&G!! Like usual we will have the following:

1) BEST IN SHOW CAR CONTEST. We plan on tweeking this catagory this time around by breaking down into futher catagorys. On the NEW SCHOOL side we will have:

SRT8's
R/T Chargers
SE/SXT Chargers
Magnum's
300's

I still need to work out the OLD SCHOOL side and will announce that shortly. I want to contact those guys and ask them for some help.

Winners of all catagories will win a $100 Gift Certificate to the OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE!!!

2) FOOD!!!!!!!! and I mean FOOOOODDDDD!!! Again, like before, the dealership will be providing us with free burgers/dogs and more - bring an appetite!!

3) This time we hope to have a wider variety of MOPAR Paraphinalia for sale like caps, t-shirts, coffee Mugs and so on. This will be better this time I promise.

4) Limited addition APR 2008 to APR 2009 Calendars will be available with both OLD SCHOOL and NEW SCHOOL members cars. More to come on this, same price $25.

5) A 50/50 raffle will be held benefiting the MS Foundation. Winner takes 1/2 the pot. Tickets will be $1 and 6 for $5. The dealership has agreed to match our contribution to the MS Foundation!! (This is to help out IMMO!!!!)

6) Like before I am assembling a road rally/cruise for after the meet. Our destination will be Solomons Island but this time we will be taking a much more scenic route. Once in Solomons we will do our parade then end up hopefully where we were last time to assemble for the exhaust contest and photo shoot.

7) I am still working on getting a Restaurant to host our final resting place for dinner and cheers. It will be sweet, water front and all. More to come on this piece!!

So mark your calendars and prepare for an awesome event. Like I had mentioned I am in contact with a BUNCH of Mopar Clubs in the tristate area and this may well be a huge thing!!

I have lots of stuff going too as I continue to seek further sponsorship from local business's and hotel deals for those coming in from afar. There now is a Marriott and a Hilton with big well lit parking lots for your rides. I'll also get the local yocals to watch our cars too.

So gear up man. Start polishin. And be sure to check back for updates!!!

Whats up everyone!!! Well, I've been busy like mad getting ready for this up coming weekend. Like I've said before "Polish em up!!!"

WEATHER:

Big topic right now. The last 24 HRs took a little bit of a wrong turn on my plan for good weather. We went from 20% precipitation to 40% for Saturday. I've seen this change folks so lets get some VOO DOO dancing going. Also as a footnote I've been living down here for 6 years and I've seen tons of days with forcasted 40% precipitation and it DID NOT RAIN, so I'm being optimistic. Bring that sweet Charger of yours to this M&G...we need ya man!!

To answer the question of a rain date, no, the show will go on rain or shine. This was a tuff decision for us to make, but after reviewing our business plans, catering, all ready made trophies and other aspects of the M&G we couldn't pull it off. So, it won't rain anyway - it can't, we have a M&G planned, right?

Some updates for you:

TROPHIES

They are in man and they are sweet, we have 1st, 2nd and third place this time. 1st place is 24" with dual post, car on top with a plate, 2nd is 18", single post, car and plate and 3rd place is 12" and too cool to describe. We will have 8 classes for you all to vote on as follows:

NEW SCHOOL

a) SRT8 CLASS
This will include all SRT8s, Chargers, 300s, Mags, GCSRT8s

b) 5.7 HEMI CLASS
This will include all 5.7 LX Hemi cars

c) V6 LX Class
This will include all V6 LX cars

OLD SCHOOL

a) A Body Mopars

b) B Body Mopars

c) C Body Mopars

d) E Body Mopars

e) Other Mopars

Here is a good link to review to familurize yourself with the type cars from each class. I will have a hand out for you when you arrive to help determine what class the Old Guys are in:

http://www.marylandmopars.net/members.htm

Ok, here is the drill on voting: When you arrive we will park you in designated areas. We are going to try to separate all cars by class. Once you are parked I will give you a M&G packet. You'll get a dash plate that will have your unique number and a voting envelope that will have one voting ticket for each class. All you need to do it write the car's number on the ticket for its class and place your ticket in the voting bin at the control table. All voting has to be done by 12:20pm.

CALENDARS

We have decided to not have these this time around. If you are absolutely in need of one see me, I'll get you one and have it shipped to your house.

VIDEO

I need people to video everything, as much as you can, all the time and post on the board after the meet. I need someone to volunteer to video all of us leaving the dealership, PLEASE HELP!!!!

RALLY NOTES

We will take off at 1:30pm for Solomons Island. I hope we can invade the island and take lots of cool pics but I plan to have a big empty parking lot ready for photo shoots, more to come on this....there will be desiginated CHARGERs established as GROUP LEADERS that each of you should connect with, as a large group these leaders will stay in touch with me by cell.

Around 3:30pm I have a nice Rally set up that will take us back up NORTH Route 4 then off into the back roads, I've got a nice route mapped out that I think you'll like. In the end we will wind up at :

VERA'S WHITE SAND BEACH CLUB
1200 White Sands Drive
Lusby, Maryland 20657

http://verasbeachclub.com/

I will absolutely guarantee you will love this place, it's right on the Patuxant River, water front with a huge outdoor bar and so much more, plus good food!!!!!!!!! I've already arranged with the owner that we will be there so make plans to join us!!! It will be a blast. It is here we will end the day, good food, people and the whole 9 yards. A lot of times there will be a bunch of 30 to 50 foot off shore race boats docked while the guys get a bite, possibly we'll see them cruise in or out, who knows!!

I'll update more tomorrow.
