Several have asked for numbers, so here we go. The 2014 Central National Meet had 215 registrations (after dropping all cancellations and no-shows). There were 408 people in attendance. About 13% of those present were attending their first National Meet! We were pleased with the large number of members who signed up to be novice judges. Some attendees registered vehicles but did not bring them. There were a total of 149 vehicles on the Concourse: Concourse Division - 19 Dearborn Division - 17 Dearborn Emeritus Division - 19 Rouge Division - 19 Touring Division - 44 Touring A Division - 22 Display Class - 9 124 trophies were awarded Attendance at meals/events: Welcome Dinner - 277 Ladies Luncheon - 91 Picnic Buffet following Route 66 driving tour - 261 Awards Banquet - 279 Driving tour to Lincoln Presidential Museum - 174 Bus tours to Lincoln sites - 139 Bus tours to Dana Thomas House - 90 Attendance at post-concourse President Lincoln and First Lady Presentation - over 300 The Flathead Ignition seminar presented by Jim Linder was attended by over 250 Sincere thanks to all 408 V-8ers who made this possible, to the outstanding staff of the Crowne Plaza, and to the Red Badge Brigade - the team of Northern Illinois Regional Group volunteers who tirelessly gave of their time and enthusiasm to make this meet happen. Ken & Carolyn Co-Chairs

Hi Everyone, yes they were cool and yummy. I managed a photo before they were gone. The lighting is a little messed up. This is a white chocolate in a silver wrapper. -VT/JeffH

I wonder how many did not eat the chocolate just to save the V-8!

Where were the chocolates? I did not find one in my bag. I went to the Welcome Dinner, didn't see them there either. Where did I miss them? . . . 78-73B

Great meet Ken. My car was one of the no shows as it broke down about 120 miles north in Sheldon Ill. Coil failure and the back up coil was bad also. Fine folks in Sheldon stored the car while I hitched a ride with two other guys from RG126, Roger Jackson and Frank Kope. I did get to see the show on Wednesday morning before returning to pickup the car. Skip Haney is rebuilding both coils. Lesson learned, be sure your spare parts are in good shape.
