I'm going. Flight booked. Room booked. No car. Got the new travel ID. We're ready. Will be my 1st time to go...Joe

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

All my travel details are set.

I make a week of it, I drive to on the Wednesday and drive home on the Monday.

Helping with move in again which is a joyous event-foot killing event. (I think I will buy some new “Dad shoes” now and get some break in miles on them.

A few special events for me this year are the Dan Vasic 1969 300 Deluxe SS396 Post Sedan invitational display and one of the MSU Project W31 “Students” 1970 Buick Stage 1 is being debued after restoration (Joe Guzek was the Motor Wheel Spyder sponsor not a student but I call them all students)

I hope everyone has safe uneventful travels and hope everyone enjoys MCACN as much as I do.

Time is ticking!!! Book your travels if not done already!!!

Room booked, my 1st time ever! Need some guys to show me the ropes. I’m hoping to have a shirt with “bbbentley” on the back, so guys will recognize me and say hi.
Supposed to be bringing my friend’s 69 SS/EA COPO. Have no idea what I am doing with trailer once unloaded? Wish me luck

WE have a nearby lot that we pay for that is used for trailer parking. We have 24/7 security there from Thursday morning on. This is included with the entry.

The move-in packs will be mailed in about two weeks and they have all the information you could ever want.

Thanks;

No excuse, Frank! :no: I had a pretty legitimate one last year what with building a house and everything. :smile: Oh well, sorry you won’t make it. I’ll catch ya on a long Philly overnight sometime next year, and I’ll be at MCACN...basically every one for the foreseeable future!:tongue::3gears:

Phmmmph...building a house; what a lame excuse. You need to get your priorities straight!

And everyone pleaseeeeeeeee read the move it packet. Show up when you are supposed to. We stage move in trying to make it orderly and not have people stuck out in the staging lot. Showing up hours early will probably mean you are sitting there for hours. Also have less than 1/4 tank of gas and be able to disconnect your battery. :-)

Kudos to all who are involved in the move-in process!! :youguysrock: A monumental task that seems to run smoother each year.

[Jonesy]

Im in!!
1st Timer. Got tickets, Got Hotel Booked.
Im probably gonna drive there. Only 6-7 hours away.
I would drive my 74z/28 but I would most likely need snow tires :D

[Ryan1969Chevelle]

I can’t wait.... I am on move in again (so many good friends!!)

I am happy/sad this year... I have no display to share and no car to present, and no team of Engineers to get on stage (no wait they are back with one of the coolest Buick’s you are ever going to see).... my point is that I am going to look at the cars this year with some time to soak them in Saturday and Sunday!!!

I think I have said this before and will say it again.... Bob Ashton you have the best sand box and I appretiate the opportunity to play in it!!!

[A12pilot]

Oh, don’t fret none, Ryan. I’m not bringing anything this year either and as such, won’t be welcome during the most funnest time of the show; move in!:frown: I was instructed that the bathroom security position adjacent to the Big Room where the ceremonies are held is still open, and I’ve applied but heard nothing. Feel honored as these positions are coveted and held to high standards! You, being you, have the skills necessary to help move in so you were scooped up fast. Me on the other hand, my qualifications haven’t even mustered a peep from management to monitor the latrine :dunno: so I’ve come up with a different strategery. I’m gonna rush the gate with my cool shirt, past Enthusiast of the Year award in place of the Helen Gibb award Kelly won pictured here, and Holy Grail book (that still needs to be autographed...ahem:wink:) and with so many tickets from past years around my neck they’ll be in total disbelief someone could be this stupid.....and I’ll strooooooolllll right on in!:shocked:

But, he who laughs last! I’m entering a car next year, so they dun gotsta let me in!!!:headbang:

See you soon!

Cheers

Excellent point! 95% of the calls we are getting from participants are asking questions that are clearly covered in the move-in packs that we mailed out.

If they aren't covered, please E-mail or text as we are having a really hard time keeping up with the calls.

Yesterday Vicki and I went to Chicago for various meetings. Our local staff meeting was packed with our people, several who drove several hours to join us, and we also had several new guys joined us, including Jak Tar and of course, Dan V. was also present.

I can honestly state that the enthusiasm level of our team is at fever pitch, and everyone is devoted to making sure our participants have a great time and the overall experience is positive.

Our move-in team will be implementing a lot of new things to streamline what is an incredibly challenging feat. Please work with them and as Charley said, read your instructions and don't arrive early as we stage and move people in a very specific order.

Remember that you can always come in later, but please do not attempt to come in earlier, as that can cause delays for everyone.

Also, if you have a Thursday move-in, the goal is to get your vehicle into the building and your truck and trailer out asap to allow the next people in line to get in. Friday is the day we concentrate on getting everyone to their exact spots, getting the displays "dialed in" and such. This is important as we have all day Friday to dial it in, and as those of you who know me can confirm, what appears to be total chaos Thursday and early Friday magically becomes incredibly in order overnight after hours when hopefully most of you are enjoying a steak and some cold ones across the street. With the assistance of Ian and Boooek, we always manage to get it all dialed in, from the base of the steps to the farthest corner of the back. That is what we do...

Imagine if you will pouring 50 gallons of 260 through a 1/2" tube to fill your tank. Those of you who have been with us know there is pretty much just one way into the building, and then we have those pesky pillars, but when it is all dialed in, your jaw will drop Saturday morning when we open the show.

Whew....only a few more weeks!

Meeting? I wasn’t informed of this meeting!! :hmmm: Remember, I have FREE travel privileges and can be anywhere in the snap of a finger!:grin: Also, I have the ability to drink a lot of provided beer, eat mounds of paid for foods, and can also sleep in any 5-Star accommodation billed to anyone else but me:laugh:. Now that I think about it, I see why I wasn’t invited. :crazy: Carry on!!!:biggthumpup:

Cheers:beers:
Dave

PS; Thank you for all you folks do behind the scenes to let Riffraff like me enjoy this awesome show!!!!:worship::worship::worship:

[Postsedan]

I was very Happy with our Staff Meeting and with our newest Members....who are all polished and ready to assist with Move-In & Move-out....we all are here to work as a TEAM and make the MCACN Experience Grand and Memorable.

See you all soon!

Dan

[bbbentley]

Many on this site have long time friendships , meeting spots and know many folks involved. Myself, a true “greenhorn”, want to meet up with as many of the great guys I have gotten to know through this site and the CRG site. Therefore, I will be making a shirt with my site “handles”(names) printed bold enough on the back shoulder that anyone seeing these names will recognize who I am and, hopefully, step up and say hi. I might even get an invite to hangout with a group (of troublemakers) in the evening? Others may want to borrow this idea? Feel free to do so.

[A12pilot]

That’s a great idea TripleB!:3gears: we all had name tag lanyards the last few years. I think I still have mine somewhere, but think this year I may make a sticker with All my info on it and put it on my shirt....Yenko.Net logo..A12Pilot...Super Dave below that!:burnout: Or possibly, get a few ballons with my name on it and tie it to my Mopar cowboy hat. Should be easy to see walking around the show!

Looking forward to shaking your hand in person! Always good to put names with faces. What a wonderful show!

Cheers
Dave

[Postsedan]

Love to Balloons and Cowboy Hat....Do It! :)

Dan

[Steve Shauger]

I can make some "THE SUPERCAR REGISTRY" tags like I did last year, and drop some off at a few locations. Just fill your Name & site Username. LMK the locations. MASCAR ? and ?

Wake up everyone! It's this week!!:headbang::cool2:

I took a page from the nametag idea and Darrel's t-shirt and decided to make my own too. Hopefully people will recognize me! I spent of time on this..... like, about 5 minutes. But still!!:shocked:

You should see me at the far West end Latrine where I've been selected for Sentry duty. I'll be checking IDs for entry. At least that's what I've been told by upper management. :dunno::cool2:

See you's guys Friday!:headbang:

Are you selling those shirts? I would like to buy one from you. Rich

[cook_dw]

Thanks Rich. I had them on RGR fb page late last week and before the day was over they were sold out. If there is enough interest I'll probably make another run of them after the holidays. I'm gonna be covered up after MCACN finishing a survivor car and moving a bunch of stuff around in preparation for a new shop (I hope) this spring. Shoot me a pm or get on fb and look up Red Gorilla Restorations. Thanks for the support!
