Well, we're going to try for the Dairyland Dare.

We took a slight step forward this year, courtesy of iab and Russ Larsen, the event director.
In order to go to the next increment, we will need 2 things: 1-numbers and 2-help.
If we get both, we can very likely have a good showing, and step up again next year.

You know, no one is knocking down doors to get into a "normal" bike show: that's like looking at a parking lot.
There needs to be something the curious want to at least take a look at, and the chronic are a given.
This leads us to Classic & Vintage, and when that happens, someone has to set parameters.
I'm sure, in the case of the Dairyland Dare, someone will, smarter and more perceptive than I.

Would be nice to have a Classic & Vintage catetory, and set it at a date limit.
Of course, as soon as that is done, someone challenges it. So be it. The world is not fair.
Inside that Classic & Vintage, there can always be more "pure" categories, like L'Eroica-qualified and/or even earlier.

And, there could be an incentive, which would mean useful awards.

Notice I do not say "should." There are enough people saying "they should..." "there should be...." etc.
