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: Changed battery and starter engages when I try to connect neg post
my thoughts are that the battery is low on charge and the starter relay is hung up.

If you don't hear the starter clicking when you hit the negative terminal on the battery with the negative post your relay is hung up and constantly sending voltage to the starter. Tap the relay a few times with a wrench or the backside of a screwdriver and see if it frees up. If not replace the relay.
