I have not seen anything on this for a while.  Is the form set up somewhere and I just missed it?

I am working with my web guy to get the CapriGathering site up to date. He's a lot busier these days than he used to be.
I believe we've pulled the old form for the time being until the proper one gets put in place.

Grimsleeper - Congratulations on all your trophies.....Nice job!

Thank you, again, for giving the kids a very unique experience!! They absolutely LOVED riding in the pace car (just look at the joy on their faces!!  ;D  )  The people at the track treated us like VIP's!!
I am positive that this is something they will never forget, and they can re-tell the story at the 34th Annual MACG!!!

I ended up making the trip. 1617 miles total. On the way home encountered radiator issues after mile 1000, limped it across ohio and got stuck in Pittsburgh for the night. Luckily I have a friend there where I stayed and John Purdy lived relatively nearby, and brought me a spare radiator he had the next day. Always exciting!

I had a fantastic time seeing my Capri family once again! It was a blast. Todd & co put on a great meet.
25 cars total!

Wow, a 94 XR2 with less than 10k miles, now that’s what I would call a collectors car.
