What do you kids want to do for 2014? 25 years old!

I would do that again. It will be even more fun since most of us have met already. I will just have to figure out how to get both cars there as well as twisting my brothers arm to bring his too. :)
 
Well keep posting input! We have a few months yet before the first of the year. We'll have to put the pedal to the metal and reach out to all the TTA owners we all know on and off the boards once we pick a location. We could line the cars up in the pit lanes again in Ohio as well! :)
 
I'm happy to drive through all the corn fields to get there yet again lol.

What we do need is a better conference room for the presentations ... the JEGS suit did not work well for this given the large audience.

Is there somewhere else on the grounds we can do this or maybe at one of the hotels?
 
Im not saying this because i live in illinois but pheasant run in st Charles IL has it all. Dupage grounds across the street too. Corvette Bloomington gold is at pheasant run and mecum auction.

Sean that would be the best way doing it; both from a presenter and audience point of view just need proper scheduling with regards to everything else going on at the same time.

What size conference rooms do they have ... we must have had 50+ people in the room when Bill and Scott presented.

Also the presenters need to be told what technology is there so they can prepare accordingly (projector for laptop etc).

Schedule with presentations / presenters and a Q & A session would be great, spread out over maybe 2 days.

And with a proper conference room if they (presenters) bring items they can put them on display for everyone much easier as well (tables in the back or similar).
 
They Host Wedding Receptions and High School Reunions...for up to 200 people...After last event I bought a Digital Projector and screen and a PA system...dual speakers with stands etc...Projector is Lap top ready and was used to present the Black Air Documentary at BPG in 2012...

Sean your the man lol.

Getting that size conference room with no distractions would be perfect along with a proper projector and PA system. and the room would be large enough to host everyone to see the presentations given.
 
Just spoke to Bill Owen and he's happy to present, will re-work his material and add more information to it ... and a proper powerpoint deck etc.

He also got some interesting bits and pieces he can bring and show that you've not seen before.

All depends on the date (and if this happens or not) just so he's not away racing or so.
 
Bill Owen and Jan are the only two presenters we need! :) Keep adding input guys and gals... Looks like something is coming together here! :)

I will drive one and bring a picture of mine.
 
Could do a multi show deal?
East coast, no coast and west coast show? maybe more?

The T/A nats has moved the show to a new Hotel this year and Sue has stepped down. They just posted the info on the FB page.
Maybe reach out to them again?

Also, DoubleTree by Hilton in Collinsville IL is a nice place and the POCI was there a few years ago.
Gateway race track is 20-30mins away.
Nice area, waay cheaper than Chicago a lot less traffic and NO DAMN TOLL ROADS.
 
That was so much fun last time. I'd show up if the reunion was in Harlem in the middle of a parking lot.

Do like the idea of a large quiet conference room for photo's,... etc.

fyi... I do have friends that work at the Watkins Glen International.

Facility Rental - Watkins Glen International

I'm about 40 min away and could have at least 10 people crash at my house.lol

I like the idea of joining in with the Buick guys, good combo of cars/people. I'd definitely be up for making it wherever, but seriously doubt 799 would be ready to come.
 
Sean and the BPG got an event ready for us to join (and they have positive experience from the 2011 event doing so); so I guess first we should see if people are up for another re-union in Hebron OH ... if location is a big issue for a lot of people I suggest we then look at other possibilities however someone then need to take the lead on either setting up our own event or piggy back onto another already existing event ...

Do we think we can get 50+ owners out to Hebron again?

Personally i wouldn't drive through Cincinnati again for love or money...:crazy: iv'e seen dirt roads that were better, on the other hand i am maybe the only one that has to go that route.
 
BPG event at National Trail and Pontiac Nationals in Norwalk are the same weekend this year. In 2011 they were a week apart. So I'm on the fence.
 
Here's my .02$. Good feedback, shows intrest. I like the thought of having another event like BPG at the same time. Time is ticking and at my work the vacation/holiday schedule is already in the works so it would be nice to get the location and dates ASAP. Obviously we're not going to get a location that will get the thumbs from all.....

Merry Christmas y'all

I've had several long "car" event vacations in the last 2 years so I'm probably not going to make any event this next year as we have a growing grandchild to go see in NC as time permits...so I'm happy and sad at the same time!
