Since not a lot of time is spent in the rooms anyway, maybe some members can share a room with 2 queen beds to cut costs. Price is down to $40.00/night.

More people signed up for 10 in expectation that there might be something special

You cannot top the Pace car appearance. But that is not what Reading is all about. The best Readings in memory happened without any carrots being dangled before our eyes. Even the miserable weather at Reading 7 did not dampen or spirits too much
It's not about our cars
It's not about the raffles
It's not about the parking lot

People figure that there can't be much this year after everything last year

It;s not about being entertained or lured to attend. It's all about the people. That's what keeps everyone coming back year after year. If you were there last year around raffle time on Saturday (when the Pace car was locked away) you would understand.
But if you really need an incentive to attend in the future, the prototype show car (not the original pearl, but the red repaint) is possibly available for the 20th Anniversary Meet. SOA did some legwork and a peliminary investigation. They would need a firm commitment almost a year ahead
The problem is: Round trip air transport to and from Japan, insurance and tickets and compensation for accompanying personnel and other logistics.
Price? The current estimate is between $25,000 to $30,000. I think they are trying to discourage this but if we are willing...
So if we got 150 people to commit $200.00 each, we could possibly make this happen. But how do you control anyone who just shows up to see the car without this commitment? Private ticketed event only? Ain't gonna happen!
