Hello Wayne and list, In addition to the valid points that Elijah made, as to why this particular date was selected for our Southern Regional Chrysler & Imperial Meet, please take note of the schedule of local Mopar events we had to work around. This date was selected because of weather, as mid summer can be brutal in the South. Allowing a reasonable number of weeks to pass after the Spring Anniston Meet was also an important consideration. Some personal schedule conflicts were also a deciding factor as well as other local antique car events. In looking at the local calendar of Mopar events this is the only date that works at all.
