[driller]

The Mid-Atlantic MN12 Summer Blast event (aka The Joel Bender/Brian Klein Memorial Nationals) details from MAMN12.com...

The Date will be August 19-21, 2011.

Thanks to the past attendance and participation of everyone, this will be the 10th Anniversary of my original Summer Blast series! I'm proud of that fact and that we continue to have a great turnout at this event each year. It has grown to be one of the Ultimate MN12 Events in the country.

The preliminary itinerary appears to follow along the same way as in past years.

Friday August 19th, Meet & Greet. TBD
Saturday August 20th, - Mid-Atlantic MN12 Police Escort/catered Picnic/Car show and Car Display Saturday evening.
Sunday August 21st, - Race day and Mason Dixon car show/ Mason Dixon ALL FORD Weekend.

Race/Show event prices on Sunday will of course be dictated by the track.

I'm hoping we can get more sponsorship money this year due to some special awards I'd like to see presented.

So everyone make plans. Further details will be up soon.

Thanks

Edit: Payment Information is as follows for the catered picnic/Car show/Awards: This is pretty much the same as last year. Payments must be received no later than 2 weeks prior so I can make arrangements with the caterer. After that it will be done on a case by case basis as we normally do.

Car & Driver $20
Spouse/Other $13
Children over 7 $6
Under 7 Free
