Re: IML: Imperial Club

[Henry Hopkins <hhrp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay, but what about the regional clubs for Imperial.  We have two in 
CA, North and South, and we gather yearly for a statewide meet, this 
year in Bakersfield, 4/24 to 4/27.  Usually we have around 40 plus cars 
and have a great time together.  I do wonder if all of the CA IMLers 
show up with their cars at club events and at the Statewide Meet.  Seems 
to me there might be a disconnect between participating on the computer 
and participating in events with our cars.  Aren't there more than 40 
Imperial owners in California who might show off their cars? Or are 
Imperials really that rare????  And what about other states and club 
gatherings?  Where are the IMperials???

My two cents
