Re: Back to the 80s - Summer 2017

Let's bring together the best of 80's cars
and car-culture in Minnesota!

Whether you know it or not, you miss the 80's. The big hair, the bright colors, the music... and the cars. From pop-up headlights to fresh imports, from econo 4's to rockin' V8's. The 1980's brought us out of the dark fuel-starved 70's and into unique and interesting development territory with new all wheel drive
and turbocharged systems.

WE NEED YOUR HELP to celebrate the cars of this era with the Inaugural "Back to the 80's - MN" event. Tentatively planned for Saturday June 17th, 2017 in a location TBD in the Minneapolis/St.Paul metro area. In order to make this a great success, and to create a foundation for possible future events, we are looking for volunteers for every step of planning and executing this event. You don't need any show or event planning experience (but it doesn't hurt) - you just need to have
some passion for the project!

This is an ALL-Inclusive auto event. Ford, Pontiac, Chevy, Dodge, Nissan, Mazda, Toyota, Jaguar, Porsche, Ferrari, etc... you get the idea. Whether domestic or imported, showroom stock or modified to the point of being unrecognizable -
we want YOU there. If it was made in the 80's... bring it out!

Sounds like a heck of a lot of fun... If my car's finally done by then.

I pre-registered, but car was not ready to bring. The pre-registration goody bag contained the plate, can cozy, and Air Supply cassette, among other literature. The caps were extra.
