In case you missed it on the mailing list, the following was sent out after much discussion on and off list...
Beginning at Coal Mine Cruiser Classic 2010, the Gotham City Land Cruisers will be reinstating its policy of vehicle inspections. Inspections can be carried out by any GCLC staff member at any time during the event. All determinations of safety violations are the sole judgment of the GCLC and will be backed by the GCLC Board of Directors.
In the words of one of our wiser board members, "Our primary goal with this whole GCLC thing is to have a good time with a hobby. However, what we do is inherently dangerous and potentially lethal. It is in everyone's best interest to be properly equipped. When you get right down to it, the required list is pretty basic."
Please check the GCLC Safety Checklist located at this URL:

There is one notable change in the required equipment. After much discussion on the mailing lists, (public and Board of Directors), a working CB radio is now required.
In that case I will be sure to pack my SWR meter for those who need to tune their new CB purchases. The Pine Grove Exxon has a relatively good CB antenna and parts selection also.
Paypal sent and reservations made at Comfort Inn. Hopefully bringing two 40's this year.
