I am pre-registered. Anyone else going?

 

if it werent for the fact that its about a 5 day drive...ya...i'd come

 

so how was this?
any pictures from those who attended?

 

It is scheduled for June 18th thru 21st. So no pics yet.

 

Well, I never received any show registration information. I mailed in my check for $35 to attend the show on Saturday only. And that was on April 14th! Not even a "Thanks for pre-registering. See you on show day." No registration card, no email nothing.

So as the date arrived I contacted the group through their website. "I don't know was the reply. We just post what we're told. Come up anyways."

Needless to say I wasn't going to drive and burn all that gas to find out they never received my registration check. Then pay again and have to go home later and cancel the first check.


So you won't be getting any show pics from me.

 

That doesn't help the hobby, having an event like that so poorly organized.

 

Ditto, sorry to hear that, hopefully you will fix the problem so it doesnt happen to anyone else next year.

 

I think these are pix from the event:

Looks sparsely attended.

Woulda been worth it to see this, maybe:

 

Love that Chrysler! That's a Long Roof with a lean, mean, movin' machine under the hood! First one I see with a roof rack too! Awesome!

 

Just to pipe in hear a little late, but my mother had been in and out of the hospital and had passed away just prior to the show and it sent us for a real loop. No one contacted me direct. The club is not incorporated yet, so no bank in Mass would open a bank account for us, so we had to send all checks to PA.
My phone # was clearly printed in many places and I recieved MANY calls from people who had general questions, of which I answered on the spot. I feel terrible that this person got dropped through the cracks, but he was only 30 minutes away and was given my contact info at the Hotel, which he did not use. If he had called the number listed on the flier instead of emailing during the week, he would have been put in contact with me right away. If he had shown up, he would have been put on the field. The other 60+ cars had no problems.

If you go to youtube and type in Station wagon, you will see the video of the cars that attended.

The event was NOT poorly organized and not sparcely attended. Just sometimes things happen and you do the best that you can.

Next years show will be in the Sandusky Ohio area.
