I was in Phoenix for Spring Training last week and made a visit to the Thing Shop shrine. I was told they would not be visiting KubelTreffen East, or Kuebel Drive East. Anyway I bought a spare tire mount for the hood, and I just got a swing away one for the rear. I am trying to fabricate backing plates to reinforce where they mount on the body sheet-metal.
See you guys in July, I then drive to Seattle for Vintage Meet. _________________ 63 singlecab

Ron-
I made my reservation at the Elizabethtown Baymont today; the hotel had no record of the Thing Drive. Just thought you'd like to know.
She did mention that there are two other events at the hotel that weekend, so others might want to reserve soon.
Best regards, Mondshine |

208 miles from my house to Elizabethtown, 4hrs 40 mins taking the back roads!!
224 miles, 3hrs 57 mins taking the interstate......
Makes me want to take the back roads, get a little gravel in my travel!!!
I'll have to wait till a little closer to see what life's going to look like at that time. Graduating school in two weeks, and beating pavement for work right now! _________________ FORWARD: forward is only a good thing, when you're facing the right direction!

| Few spots that we will be traveling, Kentucky Railway Museum and train ride, Glendale KY, and Swope Auto Museum. As it gets closer and I have a better count on cars and people I will be laying out the weekend plans. Dennis, big brother will have his temp guage so any one that wants to see how their car is running and compare to others will be offered. |

Is there any latest & greatest updates on Kubel Treffen 2012? Have Googled and can't seem to find a website or much info on the 2012 event
Just trying to confirm dates, location, etc?
Thought it's suppose to be in Hiawassee again this year, but from reading has it moved back to Elizabethtown,Ky?
Thanks

From page 1 of this thread;
| Ron Domeck wrote: | Ok, with Tee Watkins dropping out of the Thing world, this has made it impossible for me to hold the show over 400 miles away from my home. So I have decided to have the show every other year in KY or if I find a host then we can have it in another area.
The next show will be in July of 2013. To fill in the void for the years the show is not being held I will be hosting Thing drives in KY. I've hosted over 10 of these "drives" in the last 15 years. This years drive will be either the weekend of July 7th or July 14th in Elizabethtown, KY. E-town is roughly 40 miles south of Louisville, KY.  |
Not to late to plan one for the fall though if someone could possibly step up and do that. |

| eaker02 hope you decide to join us for a drive, same great people, lot of fun, don't need to worry if your car is clean. Would love to have someone plan a Fall drive or host a show next year. I will be glad to help anyway I can. Have it in your town and you won't have as far to drive. Now if anyone is planning on coming to Kubel Treffen 2012 Drive please let me know so I can make better reservations at some of the stops |

| Is that next Fri? Guess I better get busy. Big brother is heading out with me in the morning to make the final drive to be sure the roads are ready for all these Things. We are running 25 cars from 9 states. The 100+ temps will be gone and looks like we will be in the upper 80's. I will have the final plans on the website kubeltreffen181.com after tomorrow. |
