It was rumored to me yesterday from a friend that lives in PA, not far from Jefferson, that over the last several weeks there has been so much rain that the hillclimb this weekend has been cancelled and the AMCA meet is downsizing to just prepaid vendors. Is there anyone on this forum, that is part of organizing the Jefferson meet, know if any of this is true? Thanks.

"After receiving much interest in having a Night Hillclimb event, we are now changing our previously scheduled September 23 Hillclimb event to a September 22 Night Hillclimb." So there will be a hillclimb at White Rose this Saturday night September 22.
In regard to the Chesapeake Chapter AMCA Meet nothing has changed. While there may be some opportunity for on-site procuring of vendor spots we always just focus on pre-paid vendor arrangements. 143 vendors have paid to participate as of last night at Chesapeake Monthly Meeting. Chesapeake will have two tents for judging as we did for 2017.
We are in need of some judges so if anyone can lend a hand check in with me at the judging admin table in the dining hall. We have 33 preregistered for judging 10 of which are Winner Circle already. There is a range of motorcycles American, British, European and Japanese and we usually have a good number of people drop in for judging as well.

The forecast says rain today, tomorrow and heavy rain on Wed., just in time. Looks like Bob will get to see his ducks this year. I'm going to the bank this afternoon to get money for the PA turnpike!DSC04295.jpg Here's one from 2013 of the hill.Bob Rice #6738

Bob - If we can get away with nothing falling from the sky after Friday that will be a big help. All weather for the meet is good just some are better then others. Its so interesting and encouraging to see a bunch of people standing outside in the middle of a Nor'Easter just having conversations about you name it, not looking the least bit concerned about the rain and wind. But the antique bike crowd always comes prepared with rain gear, boots, whatever it takes. We have committed to two 20 X 40 tents for judging so the process can take place in a somewhat dry way. White Rose had a night hill climb this past Saturday and I am sure the hill you posted an image of was soft.
So here is a photo of this past Saturday's crowd for the hill climb.

I'm good with that Robert - big difference even if we get no more rain between Tuesday and Friday it will still be wet. Tomorrow night is calling for some potential sever thunderstorms in the Mid Atlantic. If you have watched the radar this past summer it seems it has been perpetually green over South-Central PA.
