Ladies and Gentlemen,
It's that time of year again!!
The dates for the 2011 Eastern Slant 6 Awards Banquet in Pigeon Forge, TN have been set for 17-19 FEB, 2012.
In addition to our usual awards banquet honoring the winners of the 2011 Slant 6 Drag Racing Series, we are adding a "Racer's Reunion" and inviting ALL Racers, Promoters and Supporters both past and present to join us!
We will have it in the same place as last year at the Valley Forge Inn. There will be a banquet dinner on Saturday afternoon, with award presentations following.
Site info:
www.valleyforgeinn.net
800-544-8740 (toll free)
865-453-7770
Room rates are very reasonable ($38.69 + tax for a 2 queen room). They gave us a 10% discount!
When you call you'll need to tell them that you are part of the Slant 6 group. Confirmation # is 15782 and the reservation is under the name Rob Simmons.
(Reservations are for Non Smoking rooms, so if you prefer a Smoking room, you'll need to let them know.)
For those of you who have never been to a race or a banquet, this is a great midwinter time to meet racers, bench race, swap stories and parts, and generally enjoy the "Slanted Family."
Please spread the word to the many people that don't do the internet thing or hang out here on the Forum!
I will be sending out invitations and making phone calls to a lot of people that no longer race with us as well as promoters and supporters. If you are already in contact with some of these people and have already invited them, please post here or shoot me a PM. I will be sending out the invitations in about a week.
Hope you all can make it!

| Thanks Mater! Will be in contact with DT. Maybe we could cause a chain reaction from Chicago to Indy to E-Town to TN ? Stay focused my friend!

Depending on my economic situation and if the roads are covered with ice I might try and make this one.
Guess I need to stash an extra fuel pump behind the seat.

| Me and Big Mama just made reservations so looks like we will be at the banquet if nothing happens before then. Will be a long ride up from Florida but we will leave a day early and stop over in Dalton for Thursday night and see everyone on Friday about midday.
