My local Thunderbird Club Chapter is holding our last Summer Blast event this August.... We will be renting Mason Dixon Dragway in MD and we are inviting other clubs/cars/trucks/bikes if they would like to go. Here is the info I have copied from our website. You can follow the thread here http://forums.tccoa.com/3-upcoming-e...formation.html

The 2016 event will be held on August 18, 2016-August 21, 2016. So make plans and arrangements accordingly for your vacations-time off-etc.

*There may be some adjustment to the itinerary dependent on activities. Please check the site here periodically to insure you stay up to date.

Reservations can now be made at the Comfort Inn, Edwin Miller Blvd, Martinsburg, WV (Phone: 304 263-6200) Please ask for reservations under the Thunderbird and Cougar Club. Room rates should be $79.00 per room. They can tell you what's available. For those coming solo, try to share rooms with others so the expenses are split to make this more affordable. The rates and rooms will be held until July 29, 2016. Afterwards, they will be on a case by case basis.

*We will once again be holding the meet and greet at the Host Hotel (Comfort Inn) Edwin Miller Blvd, Martinsburg WV. Plan for Pizza/Subs/Barbecue, chips, etc as usual.
