Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!

Re: rims
I used paint stripper to remove the clear coat, then I started with wet 220 grit wet/dry and worked up to 1500 grit. Then I used autosol polish to get a mirror finish.
NOTE: It is not recommended to do this as the aluminium is left exposed to the elements, but there was so much accumulated corrosion that this was the only way to get the rims looking good again. It has been an inconvenience to maintain but I feel it is worth the effort.
Of course one could respray the clear coat but I found it gave a dull finish to the polished rims so I omitted it.
