[DeTomaso] Convention ideas, a different thought

Fri Aug 20 10:45:50 EDT 2010

There is no reason we can't have TWO.

I'm dying to have one near enough to attend.  I have put forth Nashville, TN
as well as Savannah, GA.

Nashville could be in the spring, has lots to do and has a nearby track that
can be rented.

If in the fall, Savannah has all of that and more, we could combine it with
the Hilton Head Island Concours Event,  a Pantera Corral at that event on
Saturday ( I know the organizers, they would LOVE IT )
a track ( Roebling Road ), a riverboat, a ton of Hotels and loads of
historical stuff and we're right on I-95, for the west Coasters, that's "THE
I-95".

Without the HHI Concours, Savannah is great in the spring as well.

and unlike Reno, no chance of snow.
