Yes its is early to talk about Pheasant Run but I am getting questions about what is going on. There have been some significant issues that have occurred but they are not bad issues and they actually have given us the new convention center (Its not done yet and is going to be in service less than a year when we get it) across the street. Its the Pheasant Run expansion. So we will have it for Friday and Sat. (Originally we just had the old convention center on Sat) We also get the Grand Ballroom for Thursday Night so that will be really cool. Its huge not cramped like we usually are on Thursday. If you have ideas for what you want in the show now is the time to speak or forever hold your peace LOL. For those of you that have been to the shows before it looks like the schedule we originally had planned is not going to stand. We have changed the show and are including a lot more interactive activities with the cars. One thing that I found interesting is the number of people that would like to show the cars outside on grass if the weather is nice.(cars will be inside the convention center or under cover if it rains) We will do that. Vendors will be under cover either in the convention center or outside weather permitting. The speakers will start earlier Judging is still an issue as we would like to do it early but want to do it by group so we may have the cars staged Friday night and start judging early by group so its done by noon. Judging as you go into the show worked great from a time standpoint but I think that you get better judging by class where all cars are together and are judged at one time. While not possible at PF it is Possible at Pheasant run so we will try it. At some point the cars will be in order of VIN number. If you plan on coming and can e-mail me your vin numbers it will get us a head start. We will ask for vin numbers in the registration as well. Would anyone be interested in having their VIN number on a licence plate for say $5 to $6 with the Chicago DCS logo on it so all cars are identified by the vin plate. We will be on pavement Friday night and on Grass as has been requested by many of you we have a few acres to position the cars. We plan possibly to do an obstacle course. (on paved parking area weather permitting) Anyway Happy New Year if you ordered the magazine or have been to one of the shows you will be updated at the beginning of Feb on the details since we should have it planned. thanks Ken To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
