Thanks for the info, this looks interesting! I tried the site but nothing comes up. I did a whois lookup and it looks like its owned by someone in Albuquerque NM:

Do you think the domain is a different one?

Also,

I have information on the 1st annual Armory car show here in the Madison area being hosted by the Wisconsin Army National Guard. The date is Sunday, July 6th, 2008. If anyone would like to see the flyer, I can scan it later this week and attach it to a email. Or, is this one already on the forum calendar?

This is the first that I have heard of the show posted by Amigo2K.

I have a feeling that *might* be the type of show held at Angell Park in Sun Prairie a few years back that didn’t go over too well due to some of the actions at the event, including a bikini contest that included no bikinis… Nothing wrong with that, if that’s what you’re in to, but not what I expect at a car show… w00t.gif

I’d like to learn more about it though, having events in our backyard is awesome! Just bring back being able to “cruise the Wash” without being threatened and life would be good!

GTO Man,

I scanned the flyer that I picked up at Jefferson and attached it to an email to you at your work address. Did you get it or was it filtered out because of the attachment? Do I need to send it again? Let me know as it looks like this show (1st Annual Armory Car Show) should be added to the calendar.

I received it and will put it on the calendar.
