Special announcement for the John Wester (Saga Motorsports) event.
The
registration response for the visit to the John Wester Car Collection has been
overwhelming. We originally capped the January 21st date at 40 participants and
later raised it to 60, and immediately sold out with a 30 person wait
list. Due to the overwhelming interest, John Wester has agreed to a
second date of Saturday January 28th.
Everyone on
the January 21st wait list has been confirmed for January 28th. While
we haven’t closed registration for January 21st, anyone registering for that
date will be automatically moved to January 28th. The time and format are the
same. Start at 9:00 AM and end about 12:00 PM. We will also have
breakfast tacos and coffee for you. If you want to eat, please come about 8:30
AM.
We still have
plenty of room for January 28 so it you want to visit this eclectic collection,
go ahead and register on "Club Registration".
