Not sure I can make it but.........how will trailer parking/security be handled. I'll be racing(might show to) and I'm sure a lot of show cars will be towed as well..
Thanks..

This post was made BEFORE I owned my '63 Safari, which I picked up in early December, and will be the car I drive out to Dayton. Looking forward to the 50th anniversary of the 1963 models.

Hopefully better than last time. Trailer parking was a disaster...

Well I got the old yellow Bonneville back together after setting her on fire. Plan on making Norwalk and the Co-convention this year. I'm looking into storing the car and trailer for the time between Norwalk and Columbus in Columbus since we drive thru there going to and from Abilene. Unless of course something catastrophic happens. Sure would save some fuel costs and travel time. Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones not to mention hanging around some awesome cars!

We will have members working the trailer lot and paid/volunteer security monitoring the lots. More to come. Apologize for not being on here much lately. Had a new baby on Dec 17th and everyone else in the family has had the flu since then. Hopefully today will be a puke free day! -Doug Pulskamp

Looks like my summer show plans may be in limbo at this point. I got thrown a curve ball in our lawsuit, and had to spend my summer traveling money to retain a lawyer. I may not be able to attend either event.

Damn Jerry, sad to read that. I've been optimistic that no news was good news.

Me too Chris. We were all set to go to a Jury Trial right here in this small town where I've lived for over 30 years and then they file for a Summary Judgement on Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas to me. I despise the young female attorneys trying to make a name for themselves in these large firms.

That motion will get denied if you've already been granted a jury trial.

How many of the forum members have attempted to make room reservations and found the block has been filled?
Robin is recieving a lot of comments on : https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/506773396012763/ the "2013 POCI-GTOAA Co-Vention Dayton OH" face book page that the rooms are booked up. If this is so, I would like to know so that maybe an attempt to secure a bigger block could be made. Let us know your findings. Cap

Cap,
There are still PLENTY of rooms available in the area, but several hotels are sold out peak nights (such as the Holiday Inn and Homewood Suites). The committee was just in Dayton last Thursday going over a lot of details and the Hope Hotel and Conference Center still has over 200 rooms available! It is a unique hotel (being located on the USAF Museum grounds) that has undergone an extensive remodel since 2009. It is a little longer drive to the Nutter Center, but still within 5 minutes. They also have a breakfast option with Packy's (attached to the hotel). Overall very cost effective. Also worth noting that the GTOAA Awards Banquet and POCI Chapter Night will be taking place at The Hope. They have much larger banquet space available than the Holiday Inn. All of the convention committe is staying at the Hope Hotel and plenty of space available.

Thanks for the update Doug. There were several on facebook that seemed to be feeling a degree of frustration.....Robin will pass this info on to those that are communicating via facebook. I was just using this medium to verify if it was a universal concern. I'm sure everyone appreciates the update.
Call on us in what ever way we can help. I'm in awe of your passion to pull this together. Cap

I understand the frustration. Hell, I don't even have a room at the "host hotel", but there are plenty of others available! Have Robin send me folks concerns and will see if there is anything we can do. Thanks, Doug.

Doug, I copied your earlier letter and pasted it on Facebook (both the GTOAA FB page & the 2013 Event page). Hopefully, this will help folks get a room. Larry Crider of POCI was one of them. He's one of the "Friends" on the 2013 event & GTOAA pages.
If I hear of more, I'll copy them to you. ~Robin
