The hotel listing has distance from site and prices for those rooms allocated to us. We could find no hotel that had enough rooms to make it one large block. We also man6y of you have points and other discounts with major chains that also apply so the list has most of those listed with a phone number.

OK its a Sticky,
now, how far is it from Old Town?

I see it is a ways, looks like the idea would be fly into Tampa rather than Orlando?

Check back cover page of the Driveline for dates, Jan 21/24, 2015

What are the dates? TIA

Re: 2015 Winter Regional Move to Sun & Fun property in Lakeland.

Its about 45 miles from Oldtown toward Tampa. Flying into Tampa would be much easier. We are in the process of doing the hotels in the area. In addition to those in Lakeland there are quite a few in the Plant City area just off I-4 that will be quick access into the site.Tyler

Tyler,

Each time you guys have moved the Florida Meet it has grown and people have liked each situation for several reasons. Mainly the dedication of you Florida Chapter Members has improved the meet and we all support you in your decision this time. We will be there and look forward to the new venue! See you in January!
And thanks for the dedication to the members of the NCRS!

Does this mean a move back inside for judged cars?

Inside is nice....

Re: 2015 Winter Regional Move to Sun & Fun property in Lakeland.

hmmm.....

well thats slap in the middle of no-where... :-)
redneck central LOL (i can say that coming from the Panhandle..)

seriously - its more like an hour to Orlando (for any reason) and Tampa is a good 45 minutes
I understand the issues with the property - but being close to Orlando was really nice for attractions, shopping and restaurants. These don't matter to me but lots of us bring our other halves and family down and it is REALY EASY to get them entertained while we play "corvette"


Just my 2 cents for what it is worth...

But - on the good side, plenty of room and inside judging and good parking etc..


I just wonder how much outside people interaction the event will get?
I had a vendor spot last two times and sold tons of stuff to Chevy/Vette enthusiasts that came to the event just for the swap meet and see some cool Vettes.
Not NCRS people at all..

We currently have a 20,000 sq ft hanger under contract. Our Certified Parking Attendant (CPA) Bill Herron is doing the spacing layout. We have had up to 110 cars for judging and there is an adjacent hanger that we can contract for if needed. Another change is secure trailer parking. We will have a preferred trailer parking area adjacent to the hanger for $25. As you arrive Wed-Thurs your car will go into the hanger and secured there, Cold start checks will be done on Friday, we will open the 4 hanger doors, (this is a hanger and they start airplanes in it), while the starts are being done hopefully this eases the scheduling problems for that check. PVs will be parked inside at night.Tyler

We are working with 2 other corvette oriented clubs to hold a show on Sat. The corvette show that was on the Sun after our show will be moving here on Sat and they brought in 150+ cars, doing it on Sat should double that number. A local NCCC club is interested in doing a sanction event at the same time. We will set aside a corvette only parking area on Sat which is always popular. We are also considering a special parking area for muscle cars/hotrods. The thing is a club must have insurance in order to formally participate in an organized activity on the grounds. The upside potential is really a function of our ability to get our own members to help.
