I'll bring that up during the meeting for the registration tables. Maybe that will makes the lines move quicker.
The only draw back I can personally see, is if a guy with a 66 GTO might pay and then park in the 1966-67 GTO section. Then when he goes to register, he discovers his class should be 1966-67 GTO Mod. Now he's got to move his car. Plus he might leave a hole in the 66-67 GTO line that should be filled.
Do the shows that use the procedure you suggested have designated areas for each class?

Default Apologies in advance...

This may have been covered, here or somewhere, but I have never attended this event and was wondering if both Friday and Saturday are the same event?

Both days are a car show?

From what time to what time?

All marquees or just Pontiacs?

Friday is a cruise-in and cruise.

The 3 Car shows (All Pontiac show, All Mustang show, Musclecar & Truck show) are on Saturday. The All Pontiac show is by far the biggest of the 3 shows.

There is also an All Pontiac Race Day at Maple Grove Raceway on Sunday.

All marquees are welcome. Antiques, Classics or New are also welcome.

All of the details (times and features) are listed on this event page: http://performanceyears.com/openhouse.asp

Post if you have more questions.

Steve

YUP!! That is the cool part. If you have never been to the PY warehouse, the area that surrounds it is enormous! You will not be disappointed with the registration fee!

If you give me your email address, we can work something out. Our club has a group leaving on Friday afternoon, and I am leaving ACOD on Saturday morning, as I am going to help set-up and run registration.

I am taking the following route, (best in my opinion from Jersey), more than happy to caravan down if you wanna meet.

http://goo.gl/maps/jPm49 The first route that is 77 miles.

Dave

Steve Many shows will have you pay then as you enter the show field, parkers will assist you to the correct class, you park then go to the registration table to get your packet or goodybag. Many have 2 lines at the table: one pre-registered with prepared packets etc with names on them and one day of.

2 lines forming entering the show field too, one pre-reg where a list of names are on a paper and are checked off, the other is where the folks pay. This will expedite a long line of folks entering the show.

Steve, to add to what Vic stated, as you enter the show you are asked questions about modifications and then told what class you are in. I have chrome wheels on my car so I was thrown in semi modified.

Thanks guys
I'll pass your comments along to the registration crew.
Any other suggestions we should consider that might make things go smoother?

I will be most likely there at the booth. I will take complaints!! as well as your registration...

More clipboards and pens. That way you can fill out the paperwork THEN get in line. Not glogging up the table by standing there. Or fill it out in line. Either way, more people who are not pre-registered filling out paperwork faster by using said pens.

P.S. If you are preregistered, there was a separate line for both you at the table and your car. Last year if you were pre-registered, you were in line all of 30 seconds to 1 minute.

This year, We've had some really generous people donate some impressive items for out door prize giveaway.
Because of all this overwhelming generocity, we're switching up the door prize/raffle tickets a little bit.
This year, EVERYONE WINS. Everyone who registers a car, gets a prize.

Some of the prizes on the list are:
A mounted Hurst Shifter (Base is signed by Bill Campbell), Thanks to Dennis Kirban of Kirban Performance
Several additional Hurst products, also Thanks to Dennis Kirban of Kirban Performance
Trading cards signed by Carroll Shelby
Boxes of trading cards
Free passes for Back to the 50's weekend (June 28-30)
Gift certificates from PUI
Gift certificates from ACC
Gift certificates from REM
Gift certificates from Performance Years
Gift certificates from Pypes Exhaust
Gift certificates from The Pub (Bar & Restaurant right next to the show field)
plus a dazzling array of shirts, hats, keychains, stickers and other great prizes


There's no need to listen for the band to call your number. There's no "winning number" board to check and double check all day long.
Everything had been streamlines so all you have to do is decide what you want to take home with you.

Here's a hint of what is to come:


I hope everyone has fun with this new format and gets to take home something they'll enjoy.

Steve

WOW! nice prizes I sure could use that Pypes Exhaust certificate , seeing how my Challenger is getting Pypes installed during the show.

Been praying for good weather for a month now, it's going to be a fantastic day. It's always so nice to see friends from other states that we usually only get to chat with on here.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
