Musclecar and Corvette Nationals...MCACN

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

My father and I are attending the show for the first time this year and we're bringing a car. Is there anything we need to know that's specific the MCACN show? My dad is waiting for his packet to arrive in the mail in the next few days regarding the car and placement in the show etc... I believe we're staying in a Hilton Hotel across the street from the Convention Center. I think we have it all covered, just don't want to miss anything. We're driving from NJ, leaving Thursday night or very early Friday, assuming it's a 12-13 hour drive with a trailer. The only thing I know about the show is from internet pictures, looking forward to attending in person, especially with a car.

Just follow the (particularly the move in/move out) directions TO THE LETTER and you should be fine. There are hundreds there that will be glad to help and offer suggestions, use them. Once you have your car inside the arena just get checked in and set up as soon as you can and leave it be and enjoy the rest of the weekend. Every morning and evening the participants get together for breakfast and happy hour at several of hotel lobbies and this is a great place to meet and greet. Lots of people coming from your end of the states.

Having done the trip twice from central NJ, I would advise you to allocate 18 to 24 hours for the trip. You do have to stop for fuel, to eat, to experience a blown headgasket, to have the truck towed 125 miles home from the middle of PA, to call a friend, borrow his truck, hook up trailer and start all over again....

If I were you, I would leave Thursday morning. That way it is a leisurely trip. Bring extra trailer tires, too.

Big one is less than 1/4 tank of fuel in your car when you move in...otherwise the car doesn't go inside [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Move-in letters/instructions are being assembled (literally) right now, and will go out next week.

Always great to have new folks in the mix. As the guys said, be sure to sit and read the very explicit (and long) move-in and instructions packet. We try to have all the possible information, so it is long, but if you read through it, your experience will be much easier and without any unexpected surprises.

The only other thing I would stress is to ask questions any time you aren't sure. Our staff, along with the participants WILL either have or will get the answers to any questions you may have. We work very hard to make the entire experience fun and exciting and we really appreciate your efforts. Believe me, being someone who has shown cars and been a vendor, I understand how much work goes in to showing your car.

Looking forward to meeting you and your Dad!

Hello Bob,

I have received my move in/instructions packet but no admission passes. Do I pick them up at the WIll CALL desk?

[Survivor 69/Z28]

I hope to meet you guys at the MCACN. A buddy of mine and I are flying in from Dallas tomorrow and should be at the hotel around noon to get all situated.
We are staying at the Double Tree where it seems to be the place to be.

I look forward to meeting you all.

Thanks,

Anthony
