Sunbeam Invasion 20XV
- Thread starter Greggers
- Start date
I'm a small part of a team that's been kicking around putting together an Atlanta invasion for a while now. We've been offered the featured marque at the 2015 Norcross show (atlantabritishcarfayre.com) if we can get 30 cars (though I've never seen 30 of another marque there). We had 10 Sunbeams last year. Come check it out, Saturday after Labor Day.
There's been talk of a drive into the North Georgia mountains, and there are plenty of hotels and restaurants in the area that can accommodate the group.

An Invasion at Road Atlanta during the Mitty Races would be awesome!
Cheers,

Hell, tell them you will get 40 of them. If 25 show up, what would they do? Probably invite you back next year.
Don't think that because I suggested Batesville I'm against a Southern Invasion. I'm all for any activity in the mountains. Maybe have the Invasion in the mountains with a drive to Norcross.

I'd go with Batesville since it's close to home. That being said, it's been mentioned over the years that it would be nice for there to be a west coast Invasion for those living out there who feel the midwest is further than they can make it. So I'd also vote for Vegas or another western location for those guys to get together and enjoy a long weekend. Since Invasions aren't financed throught the club but by the participating members doing two wouldn't be a financial hardship.
And being so far apart, no one could complain about conflicting schedules. They could even be held on the same weekend.

That's a pretty good idea.
The weekend after Labor Day is not that far away, come on down this year and check out the show.
I also like the Mitty idea.

I like both ideas. I went to Norcross last year, great turn out of cars and a well run show. My question? Do you think the Mitty show being April 24 -26 will conflict with all the other shows starting in the south, pulling from the numbers for an Invasion?
A later show in the late summer /early fall my give more of the northern owner a chance to have their rides ready for the trip? Norcross is one of the largest British shows I have been to and I think the idea should be explored

Yes obviously we will not be having a spring Invasion in Las Vegas. Our VP Nick is still trying to gather some support to organize a Southwest Invasion this fall, either Las Vegas or even Southern California. Unfortunately there is not much concrete yet.
It really comes down to willing and committed volunteers to organize an event.
I encourage everyone to attend the TE/AE United in Dayton this June.
More importantly, if anyone is willing to help Nick organize a west coast Invasion please step up.
Also if anyone feels there should be an Invasion in their area, you need to step up and volunteer to organize it. It's not too early to think about 2016.

I will throw in this idea, because I did give it enough thought that I did have somewhat of a game plan.
If in Vegas, there is a "Cars and Coffee" every Saturday morning just off the 215 at Eastern. I was planning on this being part of our event. Lots of cars, people and some british guys there. I am willing to help.
