Thank you for opening your home, and garage, to us Saturday. Was nice of you and your wife to do all you did for that day. We love that little town of Phepls, and your generosity just emphasis how great the community is!
This was my third year attending the rally and each time has been great. The festival and the parade help make the weekend complete.We have enjoyed each weekend we have spent in town.
Rick could you please ask Jennifer for the recipes for the cauliflower and the stuffed peppers?

Had a great time at the Rally this weekend. Want to thank Rick and Jen for having us over for an awesome BBQ. 
Sadly, NYM was sparsely represented. Their is another club now taking over for sponsorships, etc. I had mixed feelings being there in that situation, this used to be 'our' show. They were represented with 40+ cars. We will have to see what happens next year as far as Watkins Glen as Nascar will again be same weekend, the Rally may be rescheduled.

Speaking only for me, it is that important to me to have the Watkins Glen event as part of the Mustang Rally. Because of my two years of experience with the Mustang Rally in 2014 and 2015 which INCLUDED the Watkins Glen event, the Friday Watkins Glen has become synonymous with the Mustang Rally. What an awesome joy it was to have Mustangs of all vintages on the track! If you have any influence on the Phelps organizing committee, please urge them to reschedule the Mustang Rally to a week where NASCAR is not running at the 'Glen.
My thoughts.

I completely agree with you on all the points you made. I was very disappointed when we lost the 2nd set of laps in 2015. Also, many people were disappointed in how the laps were handled that we were allowed. I don't think I got over 40mph and they kept stopping us, also parked us very strange for pics after 2nd lap. A few even said they wouldn't even come back for laps. It is sad because from what I understand Opening day is never like this. It seems other clubs ruin it throughout the year and then we get penalized. Unfortunately, they have already decided they are not moving the Rally this year. Last year, they did lose a few cars but I guess not enough that it impacted them wanting to keep the Rally with the Sauerkraut Festival. I won't be going this year, I gave it a chance last year and it was so awkward with very little NYM representation. It isn't what it used to be for me. The best part was Rick's BBQ and hanging out with my NYM friends by the lake.
I can't seem to find an "official" page or registration for the 2017 edition of the Mustang of the Finger Lakes Rally. I see 2016 registration site with an updated date of Saturday, August 5, 2017 but the registration is for 2016, and is closed.
Phelps own site promoting the Sauerkraut Weekend links to a Mustang Rally of the Finger Lakes site with an updated date, but the Online Registration brings up the 2016 Rally page (which also states "Sorry but this event is closed", and the mail-in Form gets a 404 Page Not Found web error.
Am I missing something? Is the 2017 Mustang Rally low key this year to the point one cannot see registration information, or what?

I checked this link, and it is not the updated 2017 link. As I described above, when you go to this webpage, the title of is updated (e.g. "2017 Mustang Rally of the Finger Lakes"), BUT when you click on the "Register Now" button, it brings you to the 2016 Mustang Rally page - which also states "Sorry, this event is currently not on sale". When you click on the "Registration Form (mail-in)" link, it receives a 404 Web Page not found error.
It seems that the page has had the 2017 date updated, but nothing works, so there still doesn't seem to be an active site to register.
Unless I am again missing something? Is this event waning in interest and support?
