Rare Vehicle with DeLorean History

Fresh out of long term storage (and hopefully ready to drive) to DCS 2023,
along with a VIP Talk and Q&A about the vehicle, on Thursday and Friday.
Functional restoration is ongoing, and we hope to have all the glitches and
drips or leaks fixed in time for DCS 2023. (we will trailer it there, if need be).

This may be your one and only chance to see this vehicle in person. Vehicle
has been garage kept its entire life, including being stored for several long
stretches of time between the 1980’s and the 2020’s. One of our VIP Guests
has been vehicle’s caretaker for over 40 years and knows its entire history.

If you have not pre-registered yet for DCS 2023, do not delay much longer.
Less than 2 weeks left to Event Register. We hope to see you at DCS 2023.

DeLorean Fun Kana Driving Course is Back

With its debut at DCS 2018, the DeLorean Precision Driving Event called
DeLorean Fun Kana will be back for DCS 2023. Once again, this event is
designed and run by the members of the Mid-States DeLorean Club, and
they were up from the St. Louis area last Friday, for final measurements.

This activity is best described by watching a video from DCS 2018.

Part of the Fun Kana event at DCS 2018 is at the video link below:

Will a more definite schedule be posted before registration closes? There are a couple of people I'd like to see speak if I miraculously get the time off but don't want to spend $600 on reg and plane fare just to find out they were scheduled before I arrived 😐 I assume Zach will be on Saturday but what about Booth, Levy and Jeshurin? They're the ones I haven't seen before so I'd like to catch their presentations if I can somehow finagle a few days off...

[DaraSue]

Actually I just noticed there aren't talks scheduled Saturday night so presumably Zach would be Friday night? Pretty much the only chance I have of making it is if I get diagnosed with a disqualifying medical condition in the next 3 days but I'm sure other people would like to know too...
