Hi Bob,
I'll do all I can to make the Reunion with my SR7! However, late in the season
there are a lot of IF's. Barney Powers

Dear Bobsy Talk -- Owners and Aficionados,
Well, finally a Bobsy Reunion! You'll recall I've been talking about it for
over a year, first thinking it could be done last summer. But that time frame
proved to be too optimistic for proper organization.
So here's the deal:
Bobsy Reunion & Sports Racer Challenge
September 1st and 2nd (Labor Day Weekend)
In Colorado at the Pueblo Motorsports Park
While I'd originally wanted to do it at HPR (our locally owned club track east
of Denver), that would have meant doing it in July during an event already
crowed as a charity fund raising event and an already established Formula B/C
Feature race: too much going on to also squeeze in the Bobsy Reunion.
Instead, Pueblo Motorsports Park (PMP) over Labor Day weekend made for a very
nice, if not better, alternative:
• PMP is getting all new track paving this year so the surface will be
fantastic.
• Being Labor Day weekend gives everyone all summer to prepare to attend.
• Having the Monday Holiday gives out-of-staters an additional travel day
if needed.
• The weather won't be as hot in September!
• PMP has much better, closer options for accommodations (HPR's biggest
shortcoming). There a lots of places to stay 15 minutes or less from the track.
I've added a page to www.BobsyRegsitry.com website announcing the Reunion
including many more details of the event, cost, how to register, etc. Also,
www.RMVR.com now has a webpage devoted to the weekend as part of their Calendar
of Events.
Over the past year many of you have expressed an interest in attending the
Reunion and I look forward to meeting you all. Hopefully we can have the most
Bobsy sports racers on track that has ever been. Ron Mong has only committed
to try to attend and to try to get his Dad, Jerry, to attend. No promises, but
we're hopeful.
Now I'd like your help on a few things:
• In order to have our own sports racer grid, this will also be a Sports
Racer Challenge weekend. If you know some fellow vintage sports racers
owners, spread the word and invite them to also enter. We'll welcome any
sports racer which runs with a logbook from any other VMC-member organization.
The more the merrier.
• I'd like for the Bobsy Reunion to have some nice "extras" for all those
attending. "Extras" cost money and I don't feel I can ask RMVR (or me) to
absorb those expenses For instance; I'd like to cover expenses for Jerry and
Ron Mong fly out for the event. Additionally, nice swag for each of us would
also be cool. So here's what I'm thinking. If anyone, whether entering or
not, wishes to help underwrite the "extras," send me a completely voluntary
donation and I'll make it all happen. No doubt some of you who won't be able
to attend would like to help out (I have no shame, playing the guilt card!).
Let's just say $50 max from anyone., but any amount would be appreciated.
• Please give me an RSVP of your intentions, even if tentative, as to
whether or not you'll be able to bring your Bobsy. Or maybe even attend
without a car. Knowing who and how many will be attending will greatly help me
to better plan the event.
That's it for now. More info will follow or feel free to ask questions.
This will be a once-in-a-lifetime event for Bobsy owners. Be there or be
square!!!! It will be a blast.
Cheers,
Bob Alder
