Just so you have it all straight, It was not DDM hosting but High Country Solstice Sky Club and it was not replacing the National Solstice and Sky meet, It was a new event, that was to be PERFORMANCE AND MODS, we put it in June for next year because it was the best time for the use of the shop, there was nothing on the books in June.I WAS HOPING TO KEEP EVENTS ALIVE AND HOPE THAT SOMEONE WOULD STEP UP AND HOST A KAPPA NATIONAL and we could just move ours. So I had said it would not be a problem to move it but I didn't want it to go later in the summer and if it went to early I did not want it to conflict with the Maryland Mod Meet. The idea was to have an event where it is in the same place every year just like the Maryland one is...only this would be bigger and longer over a week, coming in on Saturday to the following Saturday. All the vendors would be inside and under one roof. We were planning Auto Cross, Dyno Wars, events at the drag strip and race track. Also with 2-4 hour runs up in the mountains. No banquet dinners, tons of restaurants within a few miles, hotel on the corner.No registration fees and the only thing you would have had to sign up for was what vendor and what work you wanted done. This would give everyone more time to have Mods installed by vendors or upgrades done and still get out and have fun with all the other events. We already had several vendors set up to come. The Mini's offered to come and take us out on some of their great SC runs and the shop next store has all classic cars and we thought it would be great to have a car show with all their hot rod people. This past Nationals our Auto Cross was with other cars but also kept separate which is what this would have been. What I want you to see is this is to keep us having vendors, but also, most of you have mods on your cars,,,,,could you not see an event like this..happening every year...South Carolina has not bad weather and a longer season. DDM offered their shop because it is huge and would hold lots of vendors and it was to keep our Kappa people happy. |

I have gotten tons of emails, Pm's and text messages wanting it not to be cancelled.Most people see the benefit of having a new event, the reason it was called a National Performance and Mod meet was it was offered to all states including Canada.....and what the heck...ship Kelu over here with his car!!!! I hope this puts things into perspective for all of you. It was out of keeping events going and keeping us all together. I must say I had the best time wandering around the vendors and seeing so many happy people....damn there are some mighty fine looking Kappa's out there. I progressed to a new stubby antenna at the meet LOL LOL Super Charger here I come..... |

I thought (and still think) it was an awesome idea. I just think that it was misinterpreted by many originally (myself included). I don't think it should have been canceled, just moved to a new date :). South Carolina is WAY closer for me to drive to than Texas! There are only so many pee breaks a person can take before it gets really annoying! |
