I see the webpage is not updated from last year.

Is there going to be one in 06?

Registration is open! Go here- http://fbody-event.org/register.cgi

From the overall organzier:

"Heads up people!!!

We are doing everything that can be done to get Registration open for Indy 2006. I am sure Wayne and James will have things up and running soon. I got all the info over to Wayne this afternoon. I hate to give a time that it will be open in case there is a problem but I would think Mon or Tue would be reasonable.

OK that being said, due to the challenges (contract issues) faced this year there will be a very narrow window for go no go. I am begging everyone to go ahead and register as soon as you possibly can (once it opens up) WE MUST HAVE AT A VERY MINIMUM 100 PEOPLE REGISTERED AND PAID TO EVEN THINK ABOUT GOING!!! Also if at all possible take advantage of the pay pal method its so much faster and easier for the organizers, thanks.

Now I have had many people email me telling me that even though only 68 people have voted there are more people that will go but are just waiting for registration to open. I hope this is true.

Ask, beg, blackmail, force friends and new people to go!! We have to get some new people to the event to see how great a time is to be had. The truth is if we can't get enough people to this years event and it has to be canceled due to lack of attendance then imho there will not be a next time. To some this may not be a big deal but for me its upsetting. This event has always been about the people, so what if you no longer drive an f-body? Come anyway and have a good time with your vette or gto or cts-v (can I take it for spin pretty please?) and BRING SOMEONE ELSE NEW!!!!

Well, in the past few years it has been very difficult to get 100+ f-bodies out there even with registration starting months before this year and with national coverage in major magazines. After GM stopped making the cars in '02, attendance has dropped steadly because it's hard to find new/fresh blood. Opening the event up to all LSX-based GM cars was the idea to try and increase attendance since those cars seem to be the natural evolution for past f-body owners.

If that's not a good idea to help attendance in the future, do you have any better ones? I'm sure the orgainzers are all ears...
