Darlin, tell Rob to keep the duster close!

Classy: I don't know who told you that but it is not true. The road from the hotel to the gate we have to use, is paved. It is along side of another road (also paved) and maybe whomever told you didn't like the normal amount of dust that arrises. To alleviate the problem of sitting too long, we are holding everyone at the hotel and releasing 10 at a time. The only hold up is the picture taking on this road. There is a spot just prior to entering the park that they (the park) has two Southern Belles to take a picture of you and your Vette. This is a "have to" and part of our arrangement with the park. You only have to sit for the pic, you don't have to buy it.

The only problem I can see is having to get up early enough Sunday morning to get in the line after our Saturday nite party!!!

No problem. We will have a desk set up in the lobby Friday and Saturday. Just stop by and pick up your goodie bag, registration form and wrist band. The wrist band will show that you have signed in and are actually with us and not someone just wandering in off the street. That was our big problem last year of having to sign in everyone before they could enter into the ballroom. It was a real traffic jam. The wrist band should help this problem. Remember, the party is Saturday nite and the show is Sunday.

Remember, this is a pre-registered only show. Park rules. They have guards at the gate and will be checking entrants against a list we will give them.
