[2002#3]

A few images from MidAmerica 02 Fest 2019...

1-3:  traditional all-cars pose (~74 cars)

4:  lunch in Rogers, Arkansas

5:  one of many such trunks

6:  pollen: every day, all day long

7:  one of several tech presentations:  an '02 being being equipped with an electric motor; connected directly to the transmission; gears will shift as usual (really).

Geoff,

How exceedingly cool!  Yes, indeed, your car was quite the topic of discussion.  The Moment dude (forgot his name; I made him a Nolet's gin and tonic) represented Moment and your car well.  Gonna be a big hit, Geoff.  You must bring the car.

Thanks Larry

Marc did indeed mention the conversation ... and as usual .. the drink

 

He and I have been best friends for almost 30 years ...

 

ANYWAY ... we'll figure out how to get a Moment or 02 to the 2020 02 Event ...

 

Seems like it just needs to happen, right?

Those are such nice photos. I hope someday somebody puts a drone up over one of these gatherings. That would make a nice poster.

Thank you.

A few persons were on top of the hotel and captured some higher views which, hopefully, will be posted soon.

One participant said that drones are not nice at these events because they might crash (for whatever reason, operator error, wind, etc.) into a car.

That and the camera lens would be covered in pollen.

Given that all proper drone launches are immediately preceded by the call of "Pull!" and, if all goes well, punctuated shortly thereafter by the sharp report of a 12ga. shotgun and the subsequent rapid return to the earth of said drone, I would say this is probably not the idea sort of place to see them used. But then I suppose others may view drone use rather differently than I do.

Keith’s photo captures the essence of the Mid America Fest!

A wonderful bunch of of ‘02 fans enjoying and promoting our great cars.

I really enjoyed last years fest.

i am sorry we missed this year, but plan to attend in 2020.

With respect, this one captures the essence... it's the people, more than the cars. 

 

 

Thanks to all the fine folks who donate their time and money to make this event happen.
